Commenting on this ranking, Mohan Sekhar, President and Chief Operating Officer, Collabera said, "We are extremely thrilled to be part of this exclusive list, which is an endorsement of our global delivery capabilities and thrust on excellence. This momentous occasion is even more remarkable in light of the recent global economic crisis. Our ability to innovate, adapt to changing market conditions and demonstrate value has paved way for our success with both our long standing customers as well as the newer ones that we acquired in the past year."

"2009 was a tough year for the outsourcing industry. Service providers in the GS100 list are typified by their resilience to weather the economic downturn, the ability to retain market leadership, and the flexibility to play by the changed rules of the industry," said Ed Nair, Editor, Global Services.

"There is a recognition in large companies that outsourcing as a means to reduce costs has had its time; these companies are increasingly looking at service providers being able to make their operations more effective globally and even to transform key areas of their business. The GS100 companies are the ones who are delivering on these fronts and are equipped to demonstrate new forms of value in outsourcing to their clients," says Atul Vashistha, Chairman, NeoAdvisory.

SkillStorm has received many highly regarded national and state awards.  Most recently, the company was named among the top three 2010 Best Small Firms to Work for by Consulting Magazine and ranked #6 on Florida Trend magazine's 2010 Best Companies to Work For in Florida list.  SkillStorm has also ranked among the top 2010 executive search and employment services firms for the Dallas Business Journal, San Diego Business Journal and Tampa Bay Business Journal.  In 2009, SkillStorm was named one of Consulting Magazine's top ten Best Firms to Work For and South Florida Business Journal's Business of the Year and Best Place to Work.  SkillStorm also received the highly esteemed San Diego Better Business Bureau (BBB) Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics in 2008 and ranked as the 13th Fastest Growing New Company in America in 2006 on Entrepreneur Magazine and PricewaterhouseCoopers' Hot 100 List.
