ABOUT US
OUR STORY
The literal meaning of the name CALEB is to be in faithful, whole-hearted and humble service to others, traits that Jeremiah aspired to adapt from his own late father. Jeremiah’s quest in building a premium staffing company from ground up in Los Angeles was born out of the pandemic. Up till that point he had had the pleasure of serving in all manners of catering and working for esteemed caterers who are now proudly a part of our client roster. He desired to create a space where empathy and kindness played a key role in bringing out the highest quality of skill and professionalism in the event staffing industry, and where like-minded artists and dreamers like himself could find a place of belonging and community.
The gloved hand in the logo above implies a timeless style of dignified service that we strive to deliver to our discerning clients in modern times. The olive branches signify a utopic ideal, a symbol of peace and new beginnings. The Caleb Staffing Network is very much designed to be a family that calls one another to the highest standard of excellence.

SEAN PERRY
Staffing & Hiring Manager
Born and raised in the hills of western Pennsylvania, Sean prides himself on being able to enjoy a greasy “mountain pie” around a campfire just as much as a refined fois gras around the table of a Michelin-starred restaurant.
After earning a degree in Economics from Penn State, Sean swapped the woods of western PA for the concrete jungle of New York City where he was unexpectedly seduced by the event industry, working alongside some of the most prestigious names in the business on the East Coast. Recently, he’s hopped over to the West Coast, eager to do the same…simultaneously writing/directing his own films along the way.
