Spherion was started in 1946 by Leroy Dettman of Chicago as City Car Unloaders. He recognized the need to connect freight labor professionals to Chicago businesses who needed support through a contingent labor force. So he identified the asset of contingent labor force to other industries and then expanded services to other levels of administration as well.
