Spherion was first known as City Car Unloaders, a Chicago[3] company created by Leroy Dettman in 1946.[1]

Spherion initially placed manual laborers in temporary jobs loading cargo.[3] Filling temporary clerk jobs was a service the company only later added. [3]

The company changed its name to Spherion in 2000.[citation needed]

The company was acquired by Randstad Holding in July 2011.[4]
