Paramount Staffing acquires North Carolina-based TalentForce

Paramount Staffing acquired TalentForce, a provider of light industrial and office/clerical staffing based in Shelby, North Carolina.

The deal will create a company with more than $200 million in annual revenue and nearly 250 full-time employees serving more than 800 clients with 55 offices in 12 states.

“Our acquisition strategy has been to identify companies who focus on industrial staffing, operate in states which are rapidly growing, and most importantly match up with us culturally. We have found that partner with TalentForce,” Paramount President Matt Schubert said.

The deal gives Paramount 31 additional offices and expands its presence in the Southeastern US.

TalentForce Chief Operating Officer Bobby Walker will continue running TalentForce and all current team members will remain in place.

“This partnership will provide more opportunities to build on established customer relationships and resources to create new ones,” Walker said.

Paramount, based in Northbrook, Illinois, ranks as the 40th-largest industrial staffing firm in the US, according to Staffing Industry Analysts. Paramount was acquired in June 2018 by France-based staffing firm Proman.
