Spherion Staffing and Recruiting Grows in Kentucky and Tennessee with New Office and Acquisition

Spherion Strengthens Its Local Footprint in Two Key Industrial Markets

BOWLING GREEN, Ky / CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Spherion Staffing and Recruiting (Spherion) is expanding its presence in Kentucky and Tennessee with a new office in Clarksville and the acquisition of an existing location in Bowling Green, previously operated by Spherion’s parent company, Randstad USA. This expansion into the Southeast, led by tenured franchisee Michael Chalmers, reinforces Spherion’s commitment to localized staffing solutions in key industrial hubs. 

Chalmers, who has successfully owned and operated six Spherion locations over nearly two decades, looks forward to further expanding his business while investing in local communities and helping residents build lasting careers. He plans to support the region’s increasing need for skilled trades and manufacturing talent—critical sectors that are often underserved in mid-sized markets like Clarksville and Bowling Green.

“This expansion allows us to grow in a way that naturally complements our current service area in northern Alabama,” said Chalmers. “Clarksville and Bowling Green are highly industrial areas with a strong demand for skilled manufacturing employees. We’re excited to build a new presence in Clarksville and expand on the strong foundation Randstad has established in Bowling Green, while introducing Spherion’s community-first mindset and unique value proposition to both markets.”

The Clarksville and Bowling Green teams will both offer both general and professional staffing solutions, including temporary, temp-to-hire, direct-hire, and on-site services. These locations will also expand into high-demand sectors such as warehousing, production, administrative work and manufacturing. Chalmers and his team of staffing professionals are committed to delivering the personalized, localized service that sets Spherion apart. 

“This is about more than staffing—it’s about being a trusted partner in building the local workforce,” he added. “At Spherion, our approach is rooted in understanding each community’s unique challenges and tailoring our services to meet them head-on. By combining national resources with a deeply local focus, we’re able to offer flexible solutions, regionalized pricing, and a level of personalization that gets employers and candidates to a better place.”

Chalmers has begun hiring Clarksville staff and is joining local chambers of commerce to strengthen ties to the business community. He will also retain existing Bowling Green team members from Randstad, ensuring continuity and familiarity for businesses and job seekers already working with these offices.

Each Spherion office enriches its community by connecting and facilitating employment opportunities every day—and when successful, the office and its investments flow back into the neighborhoods it serves. The power of Spherion is in its local roots.
