## Story

"Seattle is a hub of innovation and opportunity, and I’m excited to help connect local job seekers with meaningful employment," said Bharti. "Spherion’s strong brand values and deep commitment to supporting local businesses aligned with my goals. I’m eager to apply my knowledge of the local Seattle job market in service of our clients, especially across emerging technologies and logistics, where my expertise lies."

Bharti’s career spans leadership roles in prestigious organizations like Amazon, Microsoft and Citigroup. His experience includes managing Lastmile Leaders and Amazon Delivery Service Partner (DSP) logistics businesses, hiring more than 400 employees, and leading teams across the Middle East region. Bharti’s knowledge of the tech and logistics sectors, combined with his financial consulting background for Wall Street Firms, makes him well-positioned to cater to King County’s dynamic job market.

Spherion Seattle will serve the Greater Seattle Area including Bellevue, Renton, Kent, Tukwila, Redmond, Bothell, Kirkland, Shoreline, and other cities in King County, specializing in placements for white-collar professionals, logistics and warehousing, and manufacturing roles. Bharti is particularly passionate about contributing to the community, having previously supported local food banks including Northwest Harvest, yoga & mindfulness, and other charitable organizations.

“We are excited to welcome Raj to the Spherion network,” said Kathy George, president of Spherion. “With his strong background in consulting and logistics, as well as his proven track record of managing large and diverse teams, he is well-equipped to drive strong results for businesses and job seekers in the Seattle area. We look forward to seeing the positive impact he will make through his leadership at Spherion Seattle.”

Each Spherion office enriches its community by connecting and facilitating employment opportunities every day—and when successful, the office and its investments flow back into the neighborhoods it serves. The power of Spherion is in its local roots.
