At JSG, we are proud to say that we employ the best of the best in the industry. It’s important to us to take a moment to recognize the outstanding dedication our employees have for our industry and the work that they do every day. Please join us in celebrating two incredible people that made a huge impact in 2016 – Tracey Smith, Account Executive of the Year, and Shahna Jacks, Employee of the Year.

At the end of every year, we honor one employee with the coveted “Account Executive of the Year” award. This award is based on most cash in for the year, and this year it was given to Tracey Smith.

Tracey started at JSG 2 years ago with no recruiting experience to a vertical that had yet to be established at Johnson Search Group. But none of that deterred Tracey or made her hesitate even for a second. She made her first placement in less than 3 months and hasn’t slowed down since. Tracey often embodies “the one degree of difference” in her job, from thorough vetting and research to even sending homemade cookies to a client.

Tracey has made a huge impact on JSG since day 1, and we cannot wait to see what she will accomplish in 2017 and beyond. Please join us in celebrating and congratulating the 2016 “Account Executive of the Year“, Tracey Smith.

When we started to consider who the “Johnson Search Group Employee of the Year” award should go to, we wanted it to be more than “who was most successful” or “who billed the most.” The Employee of the Year should be someone who has made an effective impact on every single person in the office. Someone who goes above and beyond the call of duty to make their coworkers’ lives easier, themselves more successful, and every day at work more enjoyable. When it came down to it, it was clear that this should be awarded to Shahna Jacks.

Shahna impacts and serves every single person in our office on a daily basis. She is thrown all sorts of obstacles, and takes them in stride, becoming better and better each day. Not to mention, Shahna is the most positive and encouraging person. She continually lifts others up, and her kindness and enthusiasm is infectious. She has the attitude of “if I don’t know how, I will learn, and if I don’t know the answer, I will find out.”

Shahna is the pillar of our organization and is directly responsible for our success in 2016. We would like nothing more than to award her with the “Employee of the Year Award” for 2016. Please join us in celebrating and congratulating Shahna Jacks.
