Company Overview

GradStaff, Inc. specializes exclusively in helping recent college graduates, and those who have as much as two to three years experience, secure entry-level or early-stage professional business positions and beyond. The majority of our business involves filling long-term positions through a temporary-to-hire or direct hire model. We also fill temporary assignments, which are ideal for those who aren't able to make a long-term commitment but still want to obtain professional work experience. Most importantly, this service is free to our candidates.

In addition to the placement services we provide, GradStaff also provides one-on-one career coaching, including feedback on the candidates interviewing skills and resume as well as making suggestions for expanding or narrowing their job search based on the candidate's transferable skills and career interests.


GradStaff has a long and successful track record of helping companies fill their entry level and early stage positions with top-notch talent. It started back in 1998 when David Weyerhaeuser moved back to his hometown of Minneapolis/St. Paul after a 7-year stint as an entrepreneur in the Czech Republic. Mr. Weyerhaeuser, who had started a temporary staffing firm in Prague, joined forces with a Chicago based partner and they created the GradStaff concept. The company operated in Chicago and Minneapolis/St. Paul and became known as a leader in those markets for placing top-notch recent college graduates.

In 2002 Mr. Weyerhaeuser bought out his original partner and joined forces with Bob LaBombard, who came to GradStaff with a successful track record in the staffing industry. Mr. LaBombard previously had started a temporary staffing firm called EnviroStaff, Inc. which he grew to 13 offices nationwide in 3 years before being acquired by On Assignment, Inc. a publicly traded staffing firm based in California. Mr. LaBombard joined GradStaff as CEO and quickly put his mark on the company by aggressively steering the company into new market segments as well as plotting future growth plans. The company intends to replicate the success Mr. LaBombard had at EnviroStaff and plans to aggressively expand the GradStaff concept to major metropolitan markets across the U.S. over the next several years.
