BG Staffing announces acquisition of L.J. Kushner & Associates

BG Staffing, Inc., a NYSE-traded provider of workforce solutions, has acquired L.J. Kushner & Associates, an executive search and professional recruitment firm dedicated exclusively to the information security industry.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Since 1999, L.J. Kushner & Associates has provided services nationally to companies of all sizes (early stage to global industries with more than 100,000 employees) with diverse needs for every major component of the information security industry, including: corporate information security functions, information security consulting and professional services firms, information security software vendors and information security business units of global technology companies.

“We welcome L.J. Kushner & Associates as a valued new addition to our professional segment providing broadened workforce solutions,” said Beth A. Garvey, President and CEO of BG Staffing. “We have long recognized the growing importance and heightening need for cyber security-related services across virtually all recruitment verticals. We feel this addition supports our vision for the future, providing a holistic solution to our client partners and strengthens our brand throughout the country.”

“L.J. Kushner & Associates places talent with a broad range of services (C-suite and below) either for chief information security officers, technical leadership positions, the development of specific information security functions, and entire program upgrades,” said Garvey. “They have an outstanding reputation for delivering quality information security professionals to their clients, with a high degree of both accuracy and efficiency.”

“We are excited to become a part of the BG Staffing family of companies,” said Lee J. Kushner, president of L.J. Kushner & Associates. “As the demand for information and cyber security talent continues to increase, and the skill gap widens, the market demands a more comprehensive solution. With the opportunity to couple our 20-plus years of information security industry recruitment experience and reputation with BG Staffing’s vision, resources and leadership, together we are well positioned for future success.”

L.J. Kushner & Associates marks the 10th acquisition made by BG Staffing since 2009 to add resources and capabilities to enhance and expand the company’s service offerings. As is BG Staffing’s custom, the L.J. Kushner & Associates trade name will remain and operate as a separate brand under the BGSF umbrella (with operations in three segments: real estate, professional and light industrial).

Headquartered in Plano, TX, BG Staffing provides workforce solutions to a variety of industries through its various divisions. The company’s disciplined acquisition philosophy, which builds value through both financial growth and the retention of unique and dedicated talent within BGSF’s portfolio of companies, has resulted in a seasoned management team with strong tenure and the ability to offer exceptional service to client partners while building value for investors.
