ATLANTA – Spherion Staffing and Recruiting (Spherion) announced today its recognition on Forbes’ 2025 list of America’s Best Recruiting and Temporary Staffing Firms, produced in partnership with market research firm Statista Inc. This marks the fifth consecutive year Spherion has earned this national acclaim, and for the first time, the firm was honored across all three major award categories: Executive Search, Professional Search, and Temporary Staffing.
Forbes’ distinction places Spherion among the top-performing staffing firms in the country, based on evaluations from thousands of external recruiters, hiring managers, and job seekers. The 2025 rankings were determined through comprehensive feedback from more than 49,200 external recruiters and 20,800 HR professionals and candidates.
“We are thrilled to see the dedication of our network recognized at the national level once again,” shared Kathy George, president of Spherion. “Being recognized by Forbes across all three staffing categories in 2025 is a powerful affirmation of the heart and hustle our franchisees and their teams bring to work every day.
