Advanced, a travel therapy and nursing provider, announced it has acquired Staffing Robot, a Portland, Ore.-based design, development and marketing firm.

The acquisition will increase Advanced’s ability to effectively market jobs and services to travel nurses and therapists, while accelerating growth projections with the help of Staffing Robot’s expertise in the staffing and recruiting industry.

Founded in 2009 by Jason Lander and Ross Barbieri, Staffing Robot serves US staffing companies and employers of all types and sizes.

“Staffing Robot has been instrumental to our marketing efforts over the last several years,” said Advanced CEO Jennifer Fuicelli. “Focused on growing our company, acquiring new companies and delivering innovative solutions to our clients and travelers, acquiring a talented team like Staffing Robot is a strategic move that will greatly help us achieve these goals.”

“Having worked with hundreds of staffing companies over the last several years, I can honestly say Advanced is one of the most innovative and culture focused companies we ever worked with,” Lander said. “Having the opportunity to join their team and focus exclusively on assisting in furthering their growth is an exciting challenge we’re ready to take on.”

The Staffing Robot team will remain in Portland, Ore., and merge services with the Advanced operations already in the area.
