Career Start employs more than 100 people in Rochester and Syracuse, both in New York state, and the Tampa Bay area.

Lindsay Taliento, who founded Career Start in 2007, says: “There’s certainly room for us to grow in Western New York, but there are opportunities in other states, as well… Capitalising on those opportunities, however, means we need the resources and financial capital to invest in establishing a presence nationally, which this acquisition provides.”
