Tina, Tom, and Rachel partnered on their first Franchise together in January 2017 and have been partners of two-award winning Express Employment Professionals offices in the Sacramento Valley. They launched the new division of Specialized Recruiting Group in July 2022, after identifying the need of local business and candidates for a locally owned Professional Recruiting firm. They are passionate about partnering with businesses in the Sacramento area and making a difference by understanding each client company's business goals and staffing challenges, with the goal of identifying top talent for their organizations. Their approach is to get to know a client so well that they are considered an extension of their client's internal team.
Tina, Tom, and Rachel are excited to lead a team of dynamic professional recruiters in the Specialized Recruiting Group, an Express Employment Professionals Company. If you are a candidate looking for your next career move or a company leader looking for new talent on your team, we would be honored to partner with you.
