'Spring acquisition will boost Adecco's RPO presence'
Monday 14th December 2009, Shortlist
Adecco has formally integrated Spring Group's Australian operations following its global acquisition of the UK-headquartered business in October.
The Spring Technology brand will be merged into Adecco's Icon brand, while the other Spring businesses in Australia, Glotel and Hyphen, will maintain their brands.
Adecco local CEO Jeff Doyle told Shortlist that Spring's Asia-Pacific managing director Doug Spahn, based in Sydney, would continue to oversee Glotel and Hyphen. He said Hyphen, which specialises in RPO, was still in its nascent stages in this region, but would be a key focus for Adecco in the coming months.
"We need to be in that space - we have some managed service projects in place, but we're hopeful that this will give us the impetus we need to have a much stronger presence in that market."
