The move targets robust growth occurring in the local healthcare sector, with a focus on nursing. The group plans to add additional service lines in engineering, IT and more shortly after the launch in July. The new office is located at 2800 S. River Road, Des Plaines, a few miles north of O’Hare International Airport.
Prolink plans to add nine internal staff before end of 2018 at the Chicago location, primarily in recruiter positions to support its healthcare division.
“After seven years of business and launches in 13 new markets, Chicago was an obvious choice for Prolink and has been on our radar for a while now,” said Prolink CEO and founding partner Tony Munafo. “With this new presence in the Chicago area, we can continue to work toward our company vision to be a vehicle of growth for the Prolink family—our clients, talent and team. We’re incredibly excited to take on this next phase of growth for Prolink.”
Tony and Mike Munafo founded Prolink in Cincinnati, Ohio with just three employees in 2011. Since then, the organization has grown to 264 employees across 13 markets, and the company reported $63.4 million in revenue in 2017, establishing a 440 percent growth rate from 2014. This has landed it on several lists recognize rapid growth rate, such as The Cincinnati Business Courier’s Fast 55 and Staffing Industry Analysts’ Fastest Growing Staffing Firms.
Several office locations have ranked on top work culture awards, as published by Forbes, The Cincinnati Enquirer and more.
Jake Spinell at Colliers International represented Prolink in the lease. The new office will open July 2nd.
