25 Candles For Media Staffing Network!
• Media Staffing Network, Inc.™, which was recently recognized by Forbes as one of “America’s Top Recruiting Firms of 2017” and a certified Women’s Business Enterprise, proudly celebrates its 25th Anniversary today. Media Staffing Network Founder & CEO Laurie Kahn built what is today a premier staffing company catering exclusively to media management, sales, engineering, finance and HR for full-time placement, consulting and career coaching in the Broadcast, Cable, Internet, Digital, New Media, Out of Home and Print industries.
Media Staffing Network’s story began in 1993 — recognizing a need for placing temporary workers in primarily administrative, traffic and sales positions, Ms. Kahn created Rep Temps and opened offices in Chicago and New York City. The name was changed to Media Staffing Network in 1998, better reflecting the firm’s shifting focus on long-term placements.
“The past 25 years have taught me the importance of staying on top of trends,” said Kahn. “Unlike online job boards, we are labor-intensive, hands-on and offer our clients a variety of methods to attract, hire and retain the top talent needed to reach their revenue goals. I’m very proud of my team, their accomplishments and the manner in which they continue to meet and exceed our clients’ expectations on a daily basis.”
Kahn is an active member, sponsor and mentor for the Mentoring and Inspiring Women in Radio (MIW) Group, and she most served on the Alliance for Women in Media (AWM) board of directors; she was also a member of its precursor, The American Women in Radio & Television (AWRT). Laurie can be congratulated at laurie@mediastaffingnetwork.com.
