## Story

“After my husband passed away last year, I took it upon myself to take over our Spherion offices and continue to build upon our reputation for excellent service,” said Domeyer. “Brad had a lot of pride in this business, so I’ve made it my mission to ensure we continue to grow and build a positive reputation among both job seekers and businesses in Lansing, Jackson, Battle Creek and Kalamazoo.”

Back first opened the Lansing office in 2013 and took ownership of the Battle Creek office in 2018. During that time, Domeyer worked as a retail store manager for a big box retailer, where she gained experience in operations and human resources. After Back passed away in July 2021 from a three-year battle with cancer, Domeyer took over ownership of the offices, relying on her experience in management and HR to reestablish Spherion’s presence in west Michigan.

“We were extremely saddened by Brad’s passing, but know that Erin shares his passion for helping people succeed,” said Rebecca Rogers Tijerino, president of Spherion Staffing. “We are confident in her ability to rebuild their presence and reputation locally, and are here to support the entire west Michigan team during this transition.”

Spherion brandishes the power of local through a network of independent and empowered franchisees like Domeyer. Each Spherion franchisee enriches their communities through connecting and facilitating employment opportunities every day - and when they’re successful together, their investments flow back into the neighborhoods where they live and work. The power of Spherion is in its local roots.

The Spherion offices in Lansing and Battle Creek primarily service temporary, direct hire and temp-to-hire placements in light industrial (manufacturing & logistics) and administrative & clerical.
