# HW Staffing Solutions

Easton, MA. A Main Street Capital-backed staffing operator that grows by absorbing other agencies across New England and the South, the working-scale buyer a searcher is likelier to meet than a nine-figure take-private.

## The Firm

Founded in 1980 and headquartered in Easton, Massachusetts, HW Staffing Solutions runs roughly two dozen offices across New England, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Texas, placing temporary, permanent, and on-site workers for administrative, industrial, and logistics employers. A growth-equity investment from Main Street Capital gives it the balance sheet to keep buying.

It grows the way a searcher's own roll-up would, one agency at a time. It bought the White Plains professional and IT staffing firm Top Prospect Group in April 2024, then the New England industrial and commercial firm TPi Staffing in June 2026, folding each into its regional network rather than chasing a single landmark deal.

For a searcher in staffing, HW is the buyer at your own altitude. Where Knox Lane signals top-down consolidation with nine-figure checks, HW competes for the same small agencies you would and is a realistic exit for one you build. In a meeting, know the 1980 founding, the Main Street Capital backing, and the office-by-office model.

## Confirmed Deals

Deals traced to announcements, newest first. Firms that announce every deal show a fuller run here than firms that report acquisitions as quarterly counts, so read this as the evidence that clears the bar rather than as the firm's whole record.
