Two Kforce Leaders Named to Top Women in Staffing List
November 2021- Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) named Kforce Chief Operations Officer Kye Mitchell and Senior Vice President of Business Operations Jennifer Cirrito to its 2021 Global Power 150 – Women in Staffing list. The annual list recognizes women for their excellence as leaders and influencers in the global talent marketplace. The 2021 list is the publication’s seventh edition. This is Mitchell’s fourth consecutive year being named to the list.
"I am grateful to be recognized with this great group of women including our own Jenn Cirrito who make an impact in our industry and inspire the next generation of female leaders. I am even more excited though to see the women leaders who are on the rise at Kforce and appreciate the opportunity to represent them," says Mitchell.
The Global Power 150 – Women in Staffing list highlights 100 women from North America and 50 women on a global scale who have made a significant impact in the industry and have contributed to the success of their companies and the ecosystem.
“To receive this honor together with my partner, Kforce COO Kye Mitchell, who has been a relentless advocate for me is very special. As women leaders, it’s our duty to provide platforms for young aspiring women all around us, while challenging them to push the limits on what’s possible,” says Cirrito.
