Founded in 1970 by Gary D. Nelson, the company has evolved through multiple generations of leadership and brand transformation, most recently adopting the Nelson Connects name to reflect its people-first approach and collaborative culture. Today, the firm remains family-owned and led by an experienced management team with a deep understanding of the staffing industry and a commitment to innovation and client service.
With plans for new revenue streams in 2026, Nelson Connects is positioning itself for renewed growth and expanded service offerings. Supported by a seasoned leadership team and a strong reputation across California and beyond, the company continues to play a pivotal role in connecting talent with opportunity.
