BROOKFIELD, Wis., Jan. 19, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pinstripe, Inc., a privately-held HR firm and one of the nation's top ten recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) providers, today announced the recognition of Sue Marks as a 2009 HRO Superstar by HRO Today magazine. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Pinstripe, Marks previously established the largest independent staffing company in Wisconsin along with an enterprise-wide recruitment process outsourcing firm, which were both later sold to a Fortune 500 company.
This is the fourth consecutive year Marks has been honored by being named to the prestigious HRO Superstar list, which annually recognizes service providers, strategy consultants, buyers and thought leaders who are leading the evolution of the HR outsourcing industry.
According to HRO Today, Marks is "an RPO entrepreneur charting new territories for the market." Elliot Clark, CEO of HRO Today added that "Sue Marks has always been out at the forefront of innovation in the RPO market. Her team at Pinstripe has adapted the new social networking phenomenon to recruiting, as a first mover in the use of these sites. Pinstripe, as a result, was listed on the HRO Today Magazine's RPO Bakers Dozen as a top provider, and surely that translates into superstar leadership."
Marks is the President of Competitive Wisconsin, and is also active on the boards of BizStarts Milwaukee; the Investment Committee of Generation Growth Capital; and First Business Bank - Milwaukee. She was recognized as Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year in the service business category. She is the winner of the Marquette University College of Business Administration's Alumni Award for Entrepreneurship and a three-time winner of both the Working Woman 500 designation and the Future 50 of Wisconsin.
"It's an honor to be recognized by HRO Today for the fourth consecutive year," said Marks. "Pinstripe has succeeded in large part due to our commitment to applying the most cutting-edge recruiting strategies, technologies, and social media tactics. We expect to continue to exceed our clients' expectations and raise the industry bar throughout 2009 and in the years ahead," she explained.
