LaSalle Network Achieves Double Digit Revenue Growth in 2016

    CHICAGO, IL, January 08, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- LaSalle Network, a national staffing and recruiting firm headquartered in Chicago, releases today its 2016 year-in review, which includes being recognized with more than 20 awards, achieving record revenue growth, launching a new business unit and opening an additional office in Chicago.

For its 18th consecutive year, LaSalle Network experienced organic revenue growth in 2016, increasing by 15 percent over last year. To support this business growth, the company hired more than 100 new employees and added a new sales recruiting business unit after adding two new business units in 2015.

"This has been a great year for us as we continued to expand and add services to better serve our clients," said Tom Gimbel, founder and CEO of LaSalle Network. "Eighteen years of annual revenue growth is a great achievement, and it wouldn't be possible without the hard-working, dedicated group we have."

In 2016, LaSalle Network opened its second office in downtown Chicago, the company's fourth office in Illinois and fifth nationally. The newest office will help achieve the company's aggressive growth plans for 2017, housing LaSalle Network's new 8,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art recruiting center. The recruiting center supports LaSalle Network's search practice, which is dedicated to sourcing passive candidates not active on job boards to provide companies access to top talent.

LaSalle Network helped thousands of people find new jobs and partnered with hundreds of new clients in 2016, setting the company up for continued success in 2017. Additionally, the company promoted nearly 30 employees.

This year, LaSalle Network implemented a corporate wellness program, initiated and run by a group of seven employees who provide activities and resources surrounding physical, mental and financial wellness for LaSalle Network's nearly 200 employees. The employee-run committee provides free exercise options for employees, hosts step challenges in the office and promotes financial literacy by providing access to various financial resources.

LaSalle Network's corporate social responsibility committee, Community Champions, worked with 24 charities in 2016 to coordinate volunteer activities for employees, including a holiday partnership with Operation Gratitude, an organization that provides care packages for troops deployed oversees. Additionally, as part of LaSalle Network's commitment to giving back to the community, the company helped a family in need from Chicago's West Side move with their three children to a safer neighborhood. Not only did LaSalle pay their rent for 2017 but also provided job placement assistance for the two young parents.

In 2016, LaSalle won more than 20 revenue and culture-based awards, including:

"Inc. 5000 Fastest-Growing Privately Held Companies in America" list for the tenth consecutive year
