San Francisco, CA, May 1, 2026 – SweetRush, a global leader in finding high-performing L&D talent and creating learning strategies and innovative solutions, is celebrating its third year on Training Industry’s 2026 list of top L&D Staffing and Temporary Resources Companies. This recognition highlights SweetRush as a top 20 staffing provider that fills talent gaps and enables organizations to support the most flexible and agile training experience.
The Training Industry, a trusted source of information on the business of learning, compiles its annual list of Staffing and Temporary Services Companies based on a comprehensive analysis of the best staffing and staffing providers who offer a wide range of skills and services. Its rigorous selection processes include:
- The range and quality of staff roles and services provided
- Market presence, product visibility, innovation and impact
- Strength of customer portfolio and customer relationships
- Business performance and lead growth
This recognition from the Coaching Industry underscores SweetRush’s expertise in matching high-quality players with a variety of roles and skill requirements. SweetRush’s Talent Solutions team is sought after by both candidates and clients who appreciate its relationship-based approach to recruiting and managing talent. Its extensive network of in-demand talent includes AI experts, facilitators, subject matter experts, strategic advisors, learning experience designers, and learning project managers, among many other roles.
SweetRush Recruiting Manager Ann Cathers explains:
Recruiting relationships is SweetRush’s greatest strength. Treating all candidates with dignity and care comes naturally to us—and it turns out, it’s good business strategy. Attracts the caliber of talent that values relationships over paychecks and creates a caring culture that supports the client’s mission and goals.
Since its inception 25 years ago, the SweetRush Talent Solutions team has partnered with world-class organizations such as Intel, Coursera, Hilton, and Mars to expand their teams of L&D professionals for projects of all sizes, up to 40 instructional designers for one client in record time.
A temporary employment strategy has proven more important than ever as L&D leaders meet the growing organizational need for learning and skills programs amid shrinking timelines, budgets, and teams. Staffing provides an agile way of investing in L&D and SME talent that supports evolving organizational needs, including the need to rotate.
SweetRush’s Director of Talent Solutions Rodrigo Salazar comments:
What makes this recognition special is that it reflects what our team lives by: people first. Every placement is a relationship, whether it’s someone who trusts us with their work or a client who trusts us with their team. Three years on this list tells me we’re getting that right. We’re glad that the Training Industry continues to see that in us, and I couldn’t be more proud of the Talent Solutions team and the people who support all the areas we do.
