BG Staffing, Inc. (NYSE: BGSF), a growing national provider of
workforce solutions, announced that on December 13, 2019, the
Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the
assets of L.J. Kushner & Associates, LLC, a leading executive
search and professional recruitment firm dedicated exclusively to
the Information Security industry and its professionals.
Since 1999, L.J. Kushner & Associates has provided services
nationally to companies of all sizes (early stage to global

Firms
- Information Security Software Vendors
- Information Security Business Units of Global Technology
Companies
- Recruiting Redesigned
Information Security is a unique industry comprised of many
different skills and specialties. Hiring generally arises from
three different scenarios:
- Evolution – the client is initiating a new program or
offering
- Re-Tooling – the client is looking to elevate an existing
function by injecting new talent and new ideas into the
organization, and/or
- Replacement – the client has just had a key employee leave or
they had to terminate someone, and they are looking for someone to
fill the void
Beth A. Garvey, President and CEO of BGSF, said, “We welcome
L.J. Kushner & Associates as a valued new addition to our
Professional segment providing broadened workforce solutions. 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 (CISOs), technical leadership positions, the
development of specific information security functions, and entire
program upgrades. They have an outstanding reputation for
delivering quality information security professionals to their
clients, with a high degree of both accuracy and efficiency,”
concluded Garvey.
Lee J. Kushner, President of L.J. Kushner & Associates,
said, “We are excited to become a part of the BGSF family of
companies. 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+ years of information security industry recruitment experience
and reputation with BGSF’s vision, resources, and leadership,
together we are well positioned for future success.”
L.J. Kushner & Associates marks the 10th acquisition made by
BGSF since 2009 to add resources and capabilities to enhance and
expand BGSF’s service offerings. As is BGSF’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).
