“Michael brings deep industry knowledge and a proven track record of building data-driven and technology-enabled innovative businesses, and we are delighted he is joining our outstanding board,” said CEO Tom Bickes. “I am confident Michael's unique experience will be very valuable as EmployBridge continues to grow and deliver industry leading value to our clients, associates and colleagues.”

Atlanta-based EmployBridge ranks second on Staffing Industry Analysts’ list of largest industrial staffing firms in the US. The Select Family of Staffing Companies acquired the company last year for $410 million.
