Global Employment Solutions, a national staffing firm with locations in nine states and Washington, D.C., recently purchased Littleton, CO-based Fahrenheit Technology, a staffing firm with less than 100 employees. As part of the deal Fahrenheit’s management team and brand will remain. “They liked the brand. It’s interesting and has unique marketing opportunities,” says Fahrenheit president Jason Tate. “From a business perspective it means Fahrenheit now has a national footprint.” The deal “gives us a bigger capital backing and the ability to leverage contracts and relationships in other markets,” Tate adds.
