Epic Staffing Group is proud to announce that five of its specialized staffing businesses have been recognized in ClearlyRated’s 2026 Best of Staffing Awards, one of the staffing industry’s most respected measures of service excellence.
This year’s recognitions include:
- Orbis Clinical: Best of Staffing Client & Talent Winner
- PharmaLogics Recruiting: Best of Staffing Client Winner and 5-Year Gold Recipient
- Epic Special Education Staffing: Best of Staffing Talent Winner and 5-Year Gold Recipient
- Epic Travel Staffing: Best of Staffing Talent Winner
- Epic International Staffing: Best of Staffing Client Winner
Unlike many industry awards, Best of Staffing winners are determined entirely by client and talent feedback. To qualify, staffing firms must achieve a minimum response rate and earn a Net Promoter Score® (NPS) of 50% or higher. NPS measures customer loyalty and willingness to recommend a company to others. Scores above 50 are widely considered excellent, making this a significant benchmark for service quality.
These recognitions reflect the trust our clients place in us, the experiences our talent have with our teams, and the commitment each Epic Staffing Group business brings to its specialized market.
A Reflection of Trust, Expertise, and Partnership
At Epic Staffing Group, we believe exceptional staffing is built on more than filling positions. It comes from understanding the unique challenges our clients face, supporting professionals throughout their careers, and building partnerships that create lasting impact.
The 2026 Best of Staffing Awards recognize those efforts across healthcare, life sciences, special education, and workforce solutions, highlighting the expertise and service that differentiate each of our businesses.
“These awards are especially meaningful because they come directly from the clients and professionals we support,” said Mark Siegel, CEO of Epic Staffing Group. “In staffing, results matter, but so does the experience people have working with us. This recognition tells us we’re delivering on both. I’m proud of our teams for the work they’ve done to earn that trust.”
The Specialized Teams Behind the Awards
Global Talent, Lasting Impact: Epic International Staffing

Where Life Sciences Talent Meets Trusted Partnership: Orbis Clinical
For life sciences organizations, success often depends on finding highly specialized talent in an increasingly competitive market.

For clients, the difference was evident in the caliber of talent delivered and the partnership that supported it.

From the first conversation to every assignment that follows, those relationships remain a defining part of the Epic Travel Staffing experience and a key reason clinicians choose to partner with Epic Travel Staffing throughout their careers.
For many travelers, the experience isn’t defined by a single assignment. It’s defined by knowing there’s a team behind them every step of the way.
“I really like how everyone on the team works so well together from my recruiter to payroll and to those helping me with things in between contracts.”
That sense of continuity and support is what keeps many clinicians returning assignment after assignment.
