SAN FRANCISCO, CA— October 21st, 2026—SweetRush, always leading the industry in innovative custom corporate training, has significantly enhanced its L&D staffing services with the launch of its Talent Agency.
With its robust, multifaceted Talent Agency service SweetRush is establishing an L&D community, THE RING, building on its talent database of over 100,000 top-tier professionals; providing an AI coach with expertise in high performance; providing clients with an agile talent management dashboard; and enhancing its foundational human-centered approach to staff augmentation. The SweetRush formula is based on relationship recruiting and the power of human connection, and is remarkably successful at attracting and placing the hard-to-find, high-performers its clients are seeking.
Edna Howard is the sort of high-performing and deeply experienced L&D professional that is hard to find. In her words: “SweetRush has been a part of my journey, and I'm so appreciative for all that they do, how they interact with their consultants, making us feel like we're family members, making us feel as if we're part of the team. And for that, I will be eternally grateful.”
Cheryl Haga, Senior Director, Talent Development, at Aurora knows firsthand how difficult finding significant numbers of truly capable L&D professionals can be: “When I was head of training at Cruise, I needed 40 full-time, top-tier IDs—and I needed them to be brought on quickly and then nurtured. In my current position, I also needed to staff up quickly. It’s remarkable how I can turn to SweetRush and know they will supply me with on-target resumes and help me build a team of truly excellent talent. And they do so in a way that has everyone feeling good.”
Here’s what’s in store for Talent Agency client-partners and talent:
One constant amid these innovations is the SweetRush Talent Agency’s commitment to relational recruiting. Rooted in SweetRush’s culture of caring, kindness, and love of the L&D craft, relational recruiting—when combined with SweetRush’s reputation for innovation—unlocks the capability to attract the most capable high performers who have many options, but continuously choose to work with SweetRush and its clients.
Rodrigo Salazar-Kawer, SweetRush Talent Agency Director, shares, “Every single day I meet with L&D leaders who are told to do more with less, and I feel the tremendous pressure they are under. And yet, when they need talent, their recruiters do not have our network or know the craft as we do. So, when we’re able to quickly deliver resumes that are a great fit for their need, they are beyond appreciative and greatly relieved… and all this is possible because we practice relationship recruiting.”
The SweetRush Talent Agency team is proud of its 25-year history of partnerships with world-class organizations like Intel, Coursera, Hilton, and Mars and is a strong supporter of nonprofits who are doing good things in the world.
