San Francisco, Calif., April 29, 2025 – SweetRush, a global leader in supplying high-performing L&D talent and creating innovative learning experiences, is proud to announce its inclusion in Training Industry’s list of Top Staffing and Temporary Resources Companies in 2025. This recognition highlights SweetRush’s proven ability to provide its client-partners with high-performing staff augmentation talent.
Training Industry, a trusted source of information on the business of learning, compiles its annual Top Staffing and Temporary Resources Companies list based on a thorough analysis of providers offering outsourced personnel to address talent gaps. The list selection criteria include the scope and quality of staffing roles and resources offered, market presence, brand visibility, innovation and impact, strength of client portfolio and customer relationships, and business performance and growth trajectory.
This acknowledgment from Training Industry underscores SweetRush’s deep expertise in sourcing and placing high-performing L&D professionals across a wide range of roles, including in-demand talent such as AI experts and facilitators, subject matter experts, strategy consultants, learning experience designers, and learning project managers.
SweetRush’s extensive network of top-tier talent dates back to its founding in 2001. Since its inception 24 years ago, the SweetRush Talent Solutions team has partnered with world-class organizations like Intel, Coursera, Hilton, and Mars to augment their teams with L&D specialists for projects of all sizes—even supplying 40 instructional designers for one client in record time.
SweetRush Recruiting Manager Ann Cathers credits SweetRush’s success to its relationship-based recruiting strategy and consultative approach to sourcing talent. She explains, “We’ve intentionally built an extensive network of top-tier talent, and we see ourselves as the bridge between our caring relationships with our talent and our clients. We’ve found that this relationship-centered recruiting model produces exceptional results. Our clients know they can come to us for end-to-end, highly effective learning experiences or a passionate performance consultant, so we are set to help our clients achieve their L&D goals and navigate the future of work.”
A temporary L&D staffing strategy has proven more vital than ever as L&D leaders respond to ever-evolving business needs by seeking opportunities to reduce costs, scale operations, and access in-demand skills. SweetRush’s Talent Solutions Director Rodrigo Salazar credits his team’s success to its ability to recruit, retain, and support L&D professionals for the entire duration of their placement.
Salazar observes, “What truly sets us apart is the heart and extensive industry knowledge of our team. Not only do they bring deep expertise in L&D, but it’s their empathy and care in every interaction that elevates every placement. It’s not just about filling roles—it’s about unlocking the full potential of our consultants and ensuring they feel seen, valued, and empowered every step of the way, while helping our clients thrive in a constantly shifting environment.”
Renowned for its L&D-first innovations such as its AI-L&D Continuum, immersive learning strategies, Transformational Design Standards (TDS), and award-winning custom learning solutions, SweetRush’s high-performing team has been inspiring L&D leaders and stakeholders for over two decades.
