Talent Tree, a Houston-based staffing company, acquired CalStaff, a Sacramento CA staffing company. Terms of the deal were not announced.

"We've been interested in expanding into niche specialty markets and CalStaff's reputation for delivering high-value services made them an obvious choice for bringing on board the Talent Tree family," said Michael Manser, VP of human capital development at Talent Tree.

CalStaff provides commercial staffing as well as information technology, graphic design, finance and accounting, legal, and healthcare administration staffing. CalStaff will change its name to Talent Tree but its LawStaff, GraphXStaff, and AccountableStaff brands will continue to operate under their own brand names.

CalStaff was founded in 1970 by Lee and Cecilia Landry.
