On July 19, 2022 — Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) unveiled its sixth annual 40 Under 40 list, and we’re proud to announce that IDR’s Chief Operating Officer, Will Hayes, made the list. This list spotlights the next generation of leaders in staffing and recognizes rather than ranks the professionals making major contributions to the world of work early in their careers.
“What an amazing honor to be represented on this year’s Staffing Industry Analysts 40 under 40 award,” said Hayes. “There are so many people that made this possible in my life, and I am so humbled to be represented next to the leaders in our industry shaping the future of staffing!”
“SIA’s 2022 40 Under 40 share some extraordinary differentiators from those of other industries,” said Subadhra Sriram, editor and publisher at SIA. “They have helped transition the industry from its pre-pandemic model of work to one that is more candidate-friendly and flexible. It takes both resilience and a vision to do that. In addition, this group loves working with people and placing them in jobs. These rising stars have seized the opportunity to build back better.”
Over the past year, Hayes implemented the digitalization and automation of IDR’s core recruiting and sales platforms, created an entry-level sales development program that will have doubled the company’s sales force in 2022 and created an end-to-end data analytics platform for the enterprise that provides full visibility and transparency from a financials and performance management standpoint.
As the global advisor on staffing and workforce solutions, SIA publishes this annual list to identify and honor staffing industry leaders of today and tomorrow. The 2022 class has indeed prioritized “building back better” with a reinvigorated focus on candidate care — a trend and an imperative for the post-pandemic staffing industry.
Avionté and WorkN are sponsors of this year’s SIA 40 Under 40 list. Avionté is a staffing and recruiting industry technology partner providing tools that empower staffing firms and connect them with job seekers. WorkN — a division of Avionté — helps enhance staffing firms’ mobile capabilities for a better candidate experience.
“These authentic leaders are moving the industry to a new tomorrow.

This year’s SIA 40 Under 40 listing is now available online and in print in the July/August 2022 issue of Staffing Industry Review magazine. The 2022 honorees will be formally recognized during SIA’s Collaboration in the Gig Economy conference taking place this Sept. 20-22 in Dallas.
