What's the deal? JobSourceDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → and The Reserves NetworkDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → (TRN) have merged to form a national workforce services company, the two firms announced in October 2026. Deal terms were not disclosed.
Who's involved? JobSourceDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, founded in 1994 by Gabriel Garcia, offers temporary staffing plus managed service programs, vendor management solutions, executive search, and HR services. TRN, founded in 1984 by Air Force veteran Don Stallard, built its reputation on personalised staffing across the Midwest and beyond.
What's the endgame? The combined company pairs JobSource's technology platform with TRN's local networks, aiming to cover everything from high-volume temporary staffing to executive recruitment. Garcia, who serves as chief executive officer, said "the differences between our companies complement each other."
Why now? TRN's Neil Stallard set a target of becoming a billion-dollar company within four years. The merger gives both firms national scale to chase that goal.
What changes for customers? Clients get access to a single partner for temporary staffing, direct placement, HR consulting, and healthcare staffing. The merged entity is targeting faster placements and consistent processes across multiple locations.
How is it structured? The company operates through specialised brands sharing technology and resources, including JobSource North America for staffing and recruitment, JSMSP for managed service and vendor management programs, and Alero for executive search.
The signal: The tie-up reflects ongoing consolidation in staffing, where firms combine local reach with centralised technology to compete for national accounts. For employers, the bet is that scale plus automation can speed hiring without losing a local touch.
