History
EmployBridge was created from the combination of several staffing organizations that merged in the 1990s. In 1997, the company, originally formed as Staffing Resources Inc., combined its operations with Career Blazers, Inc., a New York-based staffing and permanent placement firm and became known as Career Blazers, Inc. On October 27, 2000, Tom Bickes and Shawn Poole led a management buyout of the commercial segment of Career Blazers and EmployBridge Holding Company was created. From its inception, EmployBridge has had a keen focus on specializing in the light industrial staffing space through its specialty brands. In October 2013, EmployBridge acquired Employment Plus and rebranded Employment Plus as ResourceMFG.
In February 2015, The Select Family of Staffing Companies (now Select) and EmployBridge merged, maintaining the EmployBridge name for the holding company.
