Starting in Q4 of 2022, we will be rebranding Staffing Leadership Group to provide companies with an alternative to traditional light industrial staffing. Our focus will be expanding the applicant pool, leveraging technology to allow workers to select flexible assignments, and implementing certification programs that increase worker skillsets,” shared Devine.

“We are thrilled to have Brian leading a new vision and strategy for Staffing Leadership Group. He is an industry visionary in light industrial staffing, and under his leadership, we are excited to transform the company to better meet the needs of the evolving workforce,” shared John R.
