Spherion Corporation today announced the appointment of Eric Archer as president of its newly formed professional services organization. Spherion is combining its Technology Services Group and Professional Recruiting Group under one umbrella organization. The combined organization will provide staffing and recruiting services through a single branch network that specializes in placing professionals in several disciplines including information technology, accounting and finance and legal.

Spherion president and chief operating officer Roy Krause commented: "A key goal of this combination is to provide an integrated approach to professional staffing that will benefit both clients and candidates. Spherion will have greater reach through an expanded network of offices and expects to leverage the business models and natural synergies that exist between the two groups to increase sales and profitability. This latest strategic decision is part of the Company's plan to build a stronger organization that competes as an integrated company to drive profitable growth and superior client service."

Archer has more than 20 years of recruitment experience, most recently serving as president of Spherion Professional Recruiting Group. In that role, Archer was responsible for managing the operations, profitability and strategic direction of the business unit. Prior to joining Spherion in 1998, Archer was the managing director of Norrell Financial Staffing. Archer also founded and managed Accounting Resources, Inc., a leading accounting staffing company in the New England region. Archer will continue to report directly to Roy Krause.

"Eric has a proven track record of sales and operations management. Under his leadership, Spherion's Professional Recruiting Group has achieved six consecutive quarters of sequential revenue growth during a challenging economic environment. He has the leadership and expertise required to extend his success to this now larger business unit to drive improved operating results and create greater opportunities for employees in the combined businesses," Krause concluded.

As part of the realignment, Wayne Mincey, president of Spherion Technology Services Group, will be leaving the Company.
