Spherion Staffing and Recruiting (Spherion) is proud to announce a leadership transition for its Middle Georgia office, now located at 2811 Watson Boulevard, Suite 6, in Warner Robins. After more than 14 successful years of ownership, Michael Chalmers has passed the torch to Nicole Crofutt, who served as vice president for the Middle Georgia office for six years. 

“I’m honored to continue building on the foundation Michael has established in the community,” Crofutt said. “His invaluable mentorship has shaped me into the leader I am today. This role is about making a real difference in people’s lives. I’m eager to carry forward his dedication to serving Middle Georgia’s businesses and workforce and excited to create new opportunities that contribute to the community’s growth.”

Crofutt’s new role represents a culmination of her career-long passion for cultivating meaningful partnerships with clients and the community. She joined Spherion after meeting Michael at a chamber of commerce event in Warner Robins. Her passion for the staffing industry grew as she developed her management style and remains rooted in the belief that a strong leader helps their team thrive. 

Crofutt’s husband, Jimmy, will also join the business, focusing on backend operations to support the team’s continued success.

“Nicole has been an integral part of the success of this office and my personal accomplishments as a franchise owner,” said Michael Chalmers. “It’s been an honor to watch her grow as a professional over the years, and I can’t think of anyone better suited to take this office into the next chapter. I’m incredibly grateful to the community for embracing me over the last 14 years and I look forward to seeing how the Spherion legacy will continue to grow in Middle Georgia under Nicole’s leadership.”

The Middle Georgia office will maintain its focus on general staffing, providing temporary, temp-to-hire and direct-hire services. Crofutt will also continue strengthening the office’s existing partnerships with local organizations that were established under Michael’s leadership, including the office’s 10-year-long partnership with the Salvation Army. Both Crofutt and Chalmers have dedicated themselves to serving the community through the chamber of commerce, Happy Hour Service Center, the Macon Re-Entry Coalition and more. Every year, Spherion Middle Georgia hosts a back-to-school philanthropic event to award students and teachers with essential supplies for the upcoming school year. Crofutt plans to continue this annual tradition.

Crofutt and her team are also excited about their new office location in Warner Robins, which offers increased visibility and accessibility for job seekers and businesses alike. The move represents the start of an exciting new chapter for Spherion Middle Georgia.

Each Spherion office enriches its community by connecting and facilitating employment opportunities every day—and when successful, the office and its investments flow back into the neighborhoods it serves. The power of Spherion is in its local roots.
