“Not only is Hourglass HR keenly focused on the same sectors and services that we are in, they share our uncompromising passion for excellence. Their tenacity, drive and integrity make them a natural fit with our culture,” said Saye Sathiyakumar, managing partner of Power Staffing Solutions.

Mark Cohen will bring his decades of industry experience to a newly appointed vice-president role at Power Staffing Solutions, reporting to managing partner Saye Sathiyakumar. Jonathan Cohen will remain at Hourglass HR and head the business as the new director of operations.

“Our success has been built on working with companies that share our values, and taking care of their best interests.
