TrueBlue Inc. (NYSE: TBI) named Taryn Owen as president of its PeopleReady industrial staffing division effective Dec. 30. Owen had served as executive VP and president of the company’s PeopleScout recruitment process outsourcing group.

“Taryn’s disciplined approach, visionary thinking and proven ability to drive growth position her perfectly to lead PeopleReady,” TrueBlue CEO Patrick Beharelle said.

Taking over as interim president of PeopleScout will be Chip Holmes, who presently serves as senior VP of client delivery at PeopleScout. TrueBlue is searching for a permanent successor.

Owen first joined PeopleScout in 2010 as VP of client delivery after serving as an operations director at Randstad Sourceright.

Owen led the launch of PeopleScout’s talent technology Affinix in 2017, and led five acquisitions and integrations over five years, including Aon Hewitt’s RPO division.

Former executive VP and President of PeopleReady Sean Ebner left the company in August. Beharelle has been serving as the interim president of PeopleReady.

At the PeopleScout division, Holmes has been a member of the division’s global leadership team since 2016.

“Chip is a well-respected industry leader known for his broad knowledge of the talent landscape and commitment to empowering the success of both his client partnerships and his team,” Beharelle said.
