SKILLSTORM RANKED AMONG TOP Three CONSULTING FIRMS IN
THE NATION
Consulting Magazine ranks the technical
consulting and outsourcing services firm 3rd among the country’s small
consulting firms, making it the second consecutive year SkillStorm has made the
esteemed list
San Diego, California
(August 30, 2010) – SkillStorm has been
named one of Consulting Magazine’s Best
Firms to Work For. The company was
ranked 3rd in the small firms category, moving up an impressive six spots on
the list since 2009. This list, based on
employee surveys, recognizes companies that have truly distinguished themselves as the
profession’s premier employers of choice. This is the second consecutive year SkillStorm
has been named to the list, scoring highly in the areas of career development and
compensation and benefits.
“We
are thrilled to have made the Best Firms to Work For list again. This award is
extremely important to us since it’s based on the feedback of our employees. Our people are our greatest resource; without
them, SkillStorm would not be as successful as it is today. Being a Consulting
Magazine Best Small Firm to Work For means that our employees are happy
which is the best measure of our success and being on the list two years in a
row means that we must be doing something right – this award proves that our
outstanding benefits and ‘out of the box’ perks are well received,” said
SkillStorm CEO Vince Virga.
The
Consulting Magazine Best Firms to
Work For survey is widely considered to be the most comprehensive, independent
source of opinion about the quality of life within top consulting firms. Results from the survey are tabulated across
six different categories: compensation, work/life balance, career development,
job experience, firm leadership and firm culture. Approximately 200 companies competed in this
year’s Best Firms to Work For survey. The
ranked firms are especially recognized for prioritizing their consultants’ job
and their entire workforces despite challenging economic condition.
SkillStorm was founded
by Virga and other close friends who all excelled in the Information Technology
services industry, but wished for a technology
consulting firm
that rewarded employees for their hard work; a company that believed that
business can still be fun and fast-paced, stimulating and successful. Knowing they weren't alone in this dream,
they threw caution to the wind and started SkillStorm. Today, the multi-million dollar company has
five offices nationwide and over 275 employees.
SkillStorm
offers amazing incentives that keep employees motivated and eager to contribute
to the company’s growth and success, including unique employee recognition
programs and all-expenses paid vacations to Atlantis, Cancun and Cabo San
Lucas. SkillStorm employees feel that
the company is a great place to work because of its fun and rewarding
environment, excellent benefits, impressive employee career development and
recognition programs, involvement of management in their well-being and family
environment.
SkillStorm
has received many highly regarded national
and state awards. Most recently, SkillStorm was named to the
2010 Inc. 5000 list of Fastest-Growing Private Companies in the Nation by Inc.
Magazine and ranked #6 on Florida Trend
magazine’s 2010 Best Companies to Work For in Florida list. The company has also ranked among the top
2010 executive search and employment services firms for the Dallas Business Journal, San Diego Business Journal and Tampa Bay Business Journal. In 2009, SkillStorm was named one of Consulting Magazine’s top ten Best Firms
to Work For and South Florida Business
Journal’s Business of the Year and Best Place to Work. SkillStorm also received the highly esteemed
San Diego Better Business Bureau (BBB) Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics in
2008 and ranked as the 13th Fastest Growing New Company in America
in 2006 on Entrepreneur Magazine and PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Hot 100 List.
