LEBANON, Pa. – Spherion Staffing and Recruiting (Spherion), the leading U.S. recruiting and staffing company with local roots set in every community it operates, announced today its Lebanon office is under the new leadership of seasoned Spherion franchise owners, Don and Jay Ruggery. After 24 years in operation, the Ruggerys took over ownership responsibilities of the office on June 10.

“Don and I noticed the rapid expansion of the Lebanon area, and we’ve wanted to be a part of this community for years now,” said Jay, co-owner of Spherion in Lebanon. “We look forward to continuing to help match people with the right career opportunities and expanding further in the community.”

Jay and Don Ruggery are long-time Spherion franchisees. The brothers have filled thousands of positions for local Pennsylvania businesses since 1992 when they worked with their father, Don Ruggery Sr., at his office in Altoona. With the acquisition of the Lebanon office, they now have 12 locations across Pennsylvania. Their offices primarily focus on matching employers and employees within food, plastics manufacturing, and warehousing and distribution in many industries. Their local teams specialize in filling entry-level to C-suite roles within their client organizations. Jay and Don are committed to carrying on their father’s business legacy by helping fellow Pennsylvanians make a living for themselves and their families.

“Jay and Don’s dedication to Spherion the past 30 years and their service to communities across Pennsylvania has been exemplary,” said Rebecca Rogers-Tijerino, president of Spherion. “The pair share an incredible passion and drive for creating a positive impact on the workforce. We know they will continue to provide excellent services to local businesses and job seekers as they work in the Lebanon community.”

Spherion brandishes the power of local through a network of independent and empowered franchise owners like the Ruggerys. In Pennsylvania alone, Spherion works in and enriches 21 communities by connecting and facilitating employment opportunities every day — and when they’re successful together, their investments flow back into the neighborhoods where they live and work. The power of Spherion is in its local roots.

The Spherion of Lebanon office will remain open at its current location, 827 Cumberland Street.
