A long-time sales and business development executive was interested in business ownership.
A 37-year-old Augusta business owner was interested in retiring.
Much like the staffing business, a perfect match happened.
Since 1989, Angela Swarts has been the franchisee of Spherion Staffing and Recruiting, winning the 2024 Franchisee of the Year award—amongst 200 fellow franchisees.
She’s staying on for a period of time as new franchisee Joe Schiavone takes over.
The office’s experienced internal staff will remain in place under Schiavone’s leadership.
“What stood out most to me throughout this process was the care this team has for both our clients and candidates. I’m eager to continue growing those relationships alongside the experienced team already in place, said Schiavone.
Angela has dedicated her career to aiding the people and companies across the Central Savannah River Area with her incredible team in Augusta. I am honored and grateful to continue to build upon that legacy for years to come.”
“The relationships I built through this business have meant the world to me, so choosing the next owner was not a decision I took lightly,” said Swarts. “I wasn’t simply looking to retire. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of helping countless individuals find career opportunities and supporting businesses throughout the community as they grow. Joe’s passion for people, leadership, and commitment to service gave me confidence that he is the right person to continue building on the relationships and impact this office has created over the years.”
