Discover Your Inside-Out Advantage with Practical Insights from the Newbury Partners Team

You already know your staffing firm can do more with the team you have and the tools you own.

What if the gap isn’t your people or your technology, but how they work together? Most staffing firms struggle with the same challenge: talented people working with disconnected systems, creating friction instead of flow. At Newbury Partners, we’ve spent decades identifying these friction points and engineering solutions that generate real ROI.

Our team at the Staffing World 2025 consists of Chris Scowden, CEO; Russ Wallis, VP Sales (Services) and Katie Lawler, VP Sales (Product). They bring combined expertise in diagnosing operational bottlenecks and designing integrated solutions that drive measurable results.

Our approach can help reveal:

Where your technology stack creates bottlenecks instead of acceleration

Why your team's productivity plateau isn't about capability but about workflow

How small integration changes can deliver outsized ROI

What's preventing your culture initiatives from translating to performance metrics

Why the Staffing World Needs to Look Inward?
