Not Your Average Employment Agency

Matt Becker, strategic partner and co-owner of PrideStaff, generously gave us a few minutes of his time to tell us about this one-of-a-kind business and its award-winning online reputation.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that sets PrideStaff apart from the many other employment agencies in Florida. Here’s Matt’s response:

“On both sides of the transaction, whether it be a client or a candidate, we get to know the person who is in front of us so we make the best fit possible. On the client-side, we want to know everything about the position — the culture, the duties, etcetera. We want to know we are looking for the right type of person that fits the needs of their specific firm. On the candidate side, we do the exact same thing.”

Matt went on to add:

“When you walk in our front doors, we want to know everything about you before we start thinking about what the job is. Our objective is to better understand what you enjoy, what you don’t enjoy, what you’re good at and what you’re not good at. This includes the type of culture you prefer working in. With that information, we can help place you in positions that are as close as possible to your dream job.”

We also wanted to know why they do what they do at PrideStaff and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s what Matt had to say:

“The PrideStaff mission statement is, ‘Consistently provide client experiences focused on what they value most.’ We try to live that every day.”

Building Success by Treating People Honestly and Transparently

When we asked Matt about PrideStaff’s secret to such a strong online reputation, he said:

“I think it’s our commitment to treating people honestly and transparently. I think that translates and people respect that.”

Outside of building the kind of online reputation any business owner would envy, PrideStaff has spread the word about who they are and what they do by being an active part of their community and giving back:

“You always want to give back. It does two things — you gather more intelligence about what is happening in your market, and you also get to meet a lot of neat people who are also working to make the community better. Giving back to the community is extremely important to us.”

Clearly, Matt knows a thing or two about growing a business and building an online reputation. Here’s his expert advice for the many other business owners out there:

“Don’t try to manufacture it; let it come authentically. Live your mission statement. Live your culture, and if people like it, they’ll tell you.”


Congratulations to the team at PrideStaff for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Matt, for taking the time to speak with us!

We highly recommend PrideStaff in Clearwater. Visit their website today!
