A 2022 Recap

Breaking records & setting new goals. As we say goodbye to 2022, we are ready to take on 2023.

As we set our sights on goals for 2023, we take a moment to look back on all that we accomplished in 2022. This year brought us new records, new clients, and new expansion opportunities. We are proud to have kept our teams fully intact throughout the year. Not losing a single team member (yet again) while also gaining three new ones! Our recruiters have an average of 12 years of experience in the staffing industry.

At AP Professionals, we held our title as one of the top five Best Places to Work in Phoenix (awarded by the Phoenix Business Journal) this year. We also were able to bring back our Phoenix & Pacific Northwest consultant/client parties which we hope many of you got to enjoy!

In 2022 we are proud to have made over 400 total placements in the IT & Healthcare industries within our team of 12 recruiters. More than half of these positions were remote while a quarter were hybrid and the final quarter onsite. While continuing to work with top Fortune 500 companies, we accepted awards such as The Most Valuable Partner for one of the world’s largest apparel and footwear companies headquartered in Oregon. Though our clients’ needs change each year, 2022 marked a high demand in the areas of Cyber Security, Scrum Masters, Senior Business Analysts, Speech Language Pathologists/Therapists and Program/Project/Product Managers.

With 2023 just beginning we already have so much in our pipeline! We plan to bring you new job opportunities in new locations. While continuing to create personalized relationships with each of our consultants. This year we will work to refine some of our internal processes while also expanding the ones that have been working well for us. As we keep giving our best each day, we look forward to growing with you in the new year!

Happy New Year!

Pacific Northwest Client & Consultant Appreciation Trip

Easy Networking, Cool Vibes & Great Food are all phrases we heard to describe the Client & Consultant Appreciation Event that we hosted in Portland, OR earlier this month.

Our Pacific Northwest team gathered last week in Portland, OR to celebrate our hard-working consultants & clients who are located in that division. Similar to the party held here in Phoenix, Arizona back in April (for all those located in that area), we were able to host an event at the beautiful Amaterra Winery in Portland. 

The event felt like a whirl wind that went by in the blink of an eye! From planning, to RSVPs, to the event itself, we couldn’t be more pleased with the feedback we have received from all those in attendance. At the event we had live music, delicious wines, a great variety of foods and a raffle where we gave away the below items pictured.  With over 110 guests in attendance, it was amazing to finally meet so many of you in person and connect with many of you again!

While the team was out in Oregon for the event, they were able to visit our Portland team’s home base, tour the headquarters of a handful of our clients and get boots-on-the ground of some of our clients west-coast locations. The team was also able to collaborate with our East Coast Partner Mark Pautler on new initiatives for the new year. We want to thank all of our amazing consultants & clients who truly make these events as enjoyable as they are to attend. We couldn’t do it without all of you!
