## Story

“Don and I noticed the 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.”
