endevis acquires IT-focused CoSource Staffing & Recruiting
endevis announced today the acquisition of CoSource, a Cleveland-based IT Staffing & Recruiting firm. The 7-year old firm, recognized as one of the fastest growing firms in Cleveland, will operate under the endevis name, which is well established in the Ohio area.
“We carefully evaluated a wide variety of firms nationwide,” said Mick Fecko, Managing Partner of Endevis. “CoSource has a talented and experienced team, well-established client relationships with Fortune 500 companies and a company culture that mirrors what we have built here at endevis.”
This is the third acquisition for endevis, which has experienced rapid organic growth annually and has expanded to more than 75 employees with (8) locations throughout the United States. The purchase of CoSource gives endevis a deeper presence in the technology space, where many endevis clients have needs. Furthermore, endevis’ partnership with CoSource increases the recruitment bandwidth for endevis’s national client base.
CoSource Staffing & Recruiting was founded by Gene Roberts in 2010. Prior to starting CoSource, Gene founded the Cleveland Solutions Group – a network and telephony engineering firm – which was acquired by CBIZ (NYSE:CBZ) in 2004. He served as Business Unit President in CBIZ for six-years. Gene will continue with endevis in a leadership role, to include strategic initiatives including mergers and acquisitions.
“This was a great opportunity for CoSource to partner with a fast-growth firm to expand our recruiting resources for our clients,” said CoSource President Gene Roberts. “I am truly excited about what this partnership means to our employees, our candidates and our clients.”
The acquisition combines a strong local IT firm with an established national firm, and further strengthens endevis’ IT staffing & recruiting capabilities nationwide.

NEW YORK, August 20, 2014: Inc. magazine today ranked endevis, LLC NO. 3423 on its 33rd annual Inc. 500|5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy – America’s independent entrepreneurs. Companies such as Yelp, Pandora, Timberland, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, LinkedIn, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 500|5000.
endevis has been recognized and awarded for the 3rd time as one of the fastest growing privately held companies in the U.S. This achievement is wholly the result of the hard work and dedication of the entire endevis team.
The 2014 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc. (available on newsstands August 20 to November 30), is the most competitive crop in the list’s history. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year growth of 516%. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue is $211 billion, generating 505,000 jobs over the past three years. Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.
“What surprises me, even though I know it’s coming, is the sheer variety of the paths our entrepreneurs take to success, thematically reflecting how our economy has evolved,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “This year there are far more social media and far fewer computer hardware businesses than there were, say, six years ago. But what doesn’t change is the fearsome creativity unleashed by American entrepreneurship.”
The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring all the companies on the list will be held from October 15-17, 2014 in Phoenix. Speakers include some of the greatest entrepreneurs of this and past generations, such as Michael Dell, Martha Stewart, host of the CNBC show “The Profit” Marcus Lemonis, Container Store Founder and CEO Kip Tindell, and Chobani Founder and CEO Hamdi Ulukaya.
