Richmond Area Business Snagajob Named No. 1 Small Company to Work For in America
Governor Bob McDonnell joined managers and employees at Henrico-based Snagajob, a leading provider of hourly workforce solutions, to celebrate the company being named the No. 1 small company to work for in America on the Great Place to Work annual ranking released today.
Snagajob has been named a Top-10 Best Small Company to Work for in America for the past three years before earning the top ranking this year.
“Snagajob is a prime example of how an entrepreneur with a vision and a dedication to building a company and supporting employees can live out the American dream,†said Governor McDonnell. “In a little more than a decade, this company has become a leader in its field, and is now a nationally recognized ambassador for the Virginia story of business and job creation success. Snagajob has also become a major area employer, doubling its number of local employees to more than 300 this year, with more growth on the horizon. That kind of expansion not only helps Virginia’s economy but will further the growth of other companies – both within Virginia and nationwide – as Snagajob helps other businesses with their hiring needs for hourly employees.â€
Snagajob was selected among hundreds of small companies (50-250 employees) competing for the best place to work honor from the Great Place to Work Institute. The award is based on employee surveys, an in-depth questionnaire and factors such as credibility, respect, fairness, pride and camaraderie.
“The foundation of what we look for in ‘Snaggers’ – our employees – is great people who love doing great work together as a team,†said Shawn Boyer, co-founder and CEO of Snagajob. “I’m incredibly proud of this honor especially because it’s based on employee feedback. This award is further validation that our maniacal focus on people and culture is the right approach, particularly as we grow at a rapid pace and have doubled our size in the past year.â€
