Today’s guest on The Staffing Playbook Podcast, Powered by YES is someone who doesn’t just talk staffing—he’s lived it, built it, and reshaped how we think about it.

With 30+ years in the industry, Tom Erb is one of the most respected thought leaders in staffing. He’s the founder of Tallann Resources, LLC, where he’s worked with over a thousand staffing companies across the U.S. and internationally.

You’ve likely seen him on stage at ASA, NAPS, or your state association, read his book Winning the Staffing Sales Game, or followed his Recruiting Today column in ASA’s Staffing Success magazine.
Tom has also served as Chairman of NAPS and President of the Ohio Staffing and Search Association.

In short—he’s a strategist, a builder, and a straight shooter.
