Purple Squirrel Magazine Reveals the Purple Squirrel 100, The 100 Fastest Growing IT Service Firms

Silicon Valley Staffing Group placed #34 on the 2001 list. “Being ranked on all of these lists is a great honor, and really helps us to position ourselves as a leader in the staffing industry.

We could not have received all of these accolades without an outstanding team of sales people and recruiters”, says co-founder Steve Allen. “These are dynamic, influential companies who play a vital role to corporate America,” says Jim Wolken, managing partner with Purple Squirrel’s parent company, New Work Media. “That’s why we’re so pleased to celebrate the accomplishments of the PS100.” The PS 100 received support and sponsorship from leading companies who work with IT services companies, including lead sponsor WebPas a leader in software development for the IT services industry. Other sponsors included: dice.com, the nation’s largest IT job board; CCBSure, a leading provider of technical insurance for technology companies and individual IT professionals; and the National Association of Computer Consulting Businesses, an association of over 500 IT services companies.

The PS100 was compiled through an extensive application and evaluation process, and audited by the independent accounting firm of Johanna Higham, PC. The PS100 rankings will be printed in Purple Squirrel’s December issue.The list of winners will also be published in the January issue of Contract Professional magazine (serving 50,000 independent I.T. contractors) and The Talent Economy (serving 50,000 human capital managers in corporate America). “All of the companies on this list have achieved a great deal of success,” says Wolken. “It’s our job to recognize that success. In the end, we hope other companies learn from the companies represented in the PS100 and apply those lessons to better their own businesses.” The PS 100 is an exclusive ranking of the 100 fastest-growing IT services firms in the United States. The ranking is determined based on percentage increase in net sales from the years 1998-2000. The results of the PS 100 will be published in the December 2001 issue of Purple Squirrel magazine.
