“For over 25 years, this division has served the luxury retail industry as the premiere partner for their Retail Selling Specialist personnel,” said Tim Hartnett, CEO of Luxury Method and its parent company CoWorx Staffing Services. “As a standalone distributed workforce company under the CoWorx umbrella, we are excited to rebrand the division to Luxury Method, so that it may carry forward with a name worthy of the specialized services they provide.”

Building on the division’s foundation as the preeminent luxury brand staffing partner, Luxury Method coordinates thriving talent ecosystems of Retail Selling Specialists and Merchandisers. Services include distributed workforce management; scheduling, budgeting, and tracking; coaching and performance recognition; payroll and benefits; data and analytics; federal and state compliance; and technology. Clients are provided with real-time visibility on actual hours worked, scheduling, and timecard approval capabilities within Luxury Method’s proprietary web-based software.

“Thanks to Luxury Method, we have complete clarity on who worked, when, and where. We don’t have trouble adding up the money and hours by chain, by store, etc. That’s a pretty big deal!” reported Elena Moneti, vice president of sales administration of a French luxury skin care, cosmetics and fragrance company.

“Terrific partnership! Great listeners, they understand the business needs and have been very responsive to requested changes…they have been just wonderful partners” said Debbie Nuzzo, retired executive vice president of sales for an international fragrance house.

When asked about her experience with Luxury Method, “I am excited and grateful to have them as a staffing partner,” said Kristine Davis, regional account executive for an Italian fragrance house. “I feel like a truly valued customer because of the level of service I receive. They are highly professional and engaging, while being approachable and friendly.”

“They operate with a sense of urgency, and I know what matters to me, matters to them,” Davis continued. “It’s all about building a relationship. And because I feel valued, I have confidence that new clients I refer will have the same level of satisfaction.”

Regional Account Manager Sharon Schnaterbeck agreed, “Customer service is key…and their communication is so good!”

Adept, scalable technology, an intimate knowledge of the industry’s logistics, and deep, enduring relationships have fortified Luxury Method as a trusted partner to the world’s most revered brands. Long-term clientele includes a leading global luxury skincare brand, a French-based company engaged in the marketing of fragrances, popular Italian luxury labels, and several American-based companies with skincare, fragrances and luxury home fragrance products.

Luxury Method proudly serves clients who are leaders within the retail community, including companies who are among the first luxury companies to join The Valuable 500 community, ensuring that disability inclusion is a priority on its agenda, and among those who appear on Bloomberg’s Gender-Equality Index, evaluated annually on their recruitment processes, the inclusivity of their internal cultures, and any policies they have implemented to combat gendered pay inequality and sexual harassment.

Luxury owned the high-touch relationship before the evolution of online retail. The industry has long acknowledged that second only to a stunning product, a carefully curated workforce with passion for the finer things is a brand’s best asset.

“Luxury retail requires brand ambassadors who are the right fit,” explains Nancy Fresnics, director of Luxury Method. “Each Retail Selling Specialist needs to believe in the quality of the product, and have a customer-centric philosophy to deliver unforgettable experiences, consistently.”

“Our team is dedicated to seamless implementation and white-glove personal service,” adds Robin Curran, vice president of Luxury Method. “We also proudly sponsor certification and recognition programs to thank our Luxury Talent, and recognize them for their hard work and contributions that positively impact our clients’ businesses.”

“The foundation of our success is how we treat our people,” reiterates Fresnics. “Referrals from current clients are our number one source of new business.”

When asked how working with CoWorx’ Luxury Method division compared with other companies, Retail Selling Specialist Margo Krauza said, “CoWorx is so much better. It’s easier, everything is computerized – my schedule, my timesheet. I’m very happy with their system. Also, Danielle, she is so efficient, and she helps me so much! Instant support. Very, very helpful!”

“The system is easy to use, even for me, and I’m not computer savvy,” agreed RSS Patricia Skala. “I also want to recognize the work and professionalism – they are exceptional! They are very professional, but you can hear from their voice there is a warmth behind the professionalism. Just great! They help me always with the most wonderful patience.”

Carol Goldstein, an RSS based in Chicago, has been in the luxury cosmetic world for 25 years. “After working as an independent contractor, it has been much easier working as a contracted employee with CoWorx; it will be nine years in June,” she said. “They withhold my health insurance and taxes, which is a great benefit, and it is seamless.”

“Eileen is my point person, and I can’t sing her praises enough,” Goldstein shared. “She is lovely and a great source of help to a wealth of people working in the field; and if I can’t reach her, I know the rest of the team is nice and responsive.”

Marc Metrick, CEO of US luxury retail brand Saks Fifth Avenue, said recently that “…customers view luxury as the comfort food of retail. It’s your something that’s gonna make you feel better.”

The all-important desire among luxury consumers to ‘touch and feel’ product before purchasing isn’t going away. Luxury Method is well-positioned to continue leading the way in staffing the specialized retail experience for luxury brands, and the shoppers who adore them.

“We are excited to announce Kara’s appointment and have every confidence she will be instrumental to CoWorx’ continued growth as the premiere partner for temporary staffing,” said Tim Hartnett, CEO of CoWorx Staffing Services. “She has already been integral to the success of our East Region, enhancing operational excellence and contributing to sales expansion, and will continue to be a major part of our evolution as a company.”

Rogan first joined CoWorx in 2005 as a director, overseeing a relatively small market. By 2010, she was promoted to senior director, Southern New England; and, in 2016, she was promoted to vice president, east region, managing more than 30 locations.

Throughout her career at CoWorx, Rogan continuously took on greater geographic areas and additional responsibilities, building the sales and operations team for the east region, and leading corporate initiatives focused on customer development, field sales and operations. Her growing team generated increased revenue and profits, year over year, and in 2018, Rogan was selected as a Forty Under Forty honoree by Staffing Industry Analysts. The coveted annual list recognizes a rising group of leaders making their mark on the workforce solutions ecosystem as trailblazers and innovators.

Rogan is quick to credit her team for her success. “Through identifying, building and supporting a strong field leadership team, I have been able to grow in my role,” she said. “It is because of them that I am here today.”

“This year has been especially challenging for many families and attracting and retaining talent is more difficult than ever,” added Rogan. “We will continue to focus on partnering with our customers to provide safe work environments where people are valued.”

“We also want express our sincere gratitude to Ken Sudnikovich, for his years of dedicated service,” said Hartnett. “Ken originally joined as a recruiter in 1985, has been serving as our chief operating officer since 2015, and is among the steadfast pillars at the foundation of the well-regarded company CoWorx is today.”

The CoWorx philosophy, “Together we’re better,” embodies the company’s commitment to working collaboratively with clients, internal staff and field employees.

Many of the staffing agency’s field offices have always provided snacks and small food items to field talent, and hearing that some started their own food pantries to care for their communities, CoWorx decided to grow the initiative and promote a companywide Thanksgiving Food Pantry during the month of November. Employees were encouraged to start collecting non-perishable food items in October, and CoWorx is promoting the Food Pantry throughout its 60 field offices using #CoWorxCares and #payitforward hashtags.

Field employees nationwide are being alerted to the Food Pantry today; one such message reads: “We understand the stresses many of you endured during the year – uncertainties surrounding childcare, transitions to virtual learning, taking public transportation to work, and of course concerns about the health and well-being of you and your family. During this season of giving we just want to say ‘Thank You’ for everything you do. Hoping this small gesture makes your life a little easier. If you have any friends or family who need support, please pay it forward and let them about know about our food pantry and the job opportunities at CoWorx. We care deeply about our communities and are here for anyone who needs a little extra support right now.”

“This is the right thing to do,” said CoWorx Staffing Services CEO Tim Hartnett. “This year has been especially challenging for many families, and we know many field talent live paycheck to paycheck to cover life’s most basic necessities.”

“Our offices often go above and beyond supporting our field talent throughout the year, including back-to-school giveaways and providing hats and gloves in the winter,” says Harnett. “Our empathy for our employees is part of everything we do.”

CoWorx has adapted new methods of conducting business this year, including job fairs that are virtual, drive-thru, or held outside to allow social distancing. The company has instituted a mobile-based application and onboarding process, allowing workers to apply on their smart phones. Virtual interviews are scheduled when possible to limit office traffic, and enhanced safety precautions are now standard protocol at

CoWorx field offices, each following all precautions employing facilities are taking, from mandatory masks to daily temperature checks.
CoWorx currently has thousands of jobs available nationwide for those who need to work. In many cases, people can interview today and be at work as early as tomorrow. Additionally, many positions do not require any experience.

“Attracting and retaining talent is more difficult than ever,” says Kara Rogan, CoWorx Vice President, Sales & Operations East Region. “While there may be increased unemployment numbers, the demand in certain sectors is higher than ever, which is putting tremendous wage pressure on U.S. employers.”

“While the hourly rate is a motivator for employees, our focus has been to partner with our customers in providing safe work environments where people are valued,” Rogan continues. “Getting out into the communities we serve, and communicating with our workforce about COVID and the protective measures in place has been crucial.”

CoWorx reports that logistics and e-commerce have been very busy staffing sectors this year. And, the increasing demand for talent to be able to work from home has been among the greatest challenges.

“When possible, we have worked with our customers to offer flexibility in their standard work schedules to allow our talent to remain on assignment, while still meeting the needs of their families,” reports Rogan.
