HeadFirst Group, operating in the market of flexible staffing and external hiring, has acquired recruitment service provider Sterksen. The market leader in external hiring is thus taking a strategic step towards a full-service HR service provider for temporary and permanent work.
Sterksen is a leading player in the IT & Technology segment by offering services in the field of recruitment, mediation for interim professionals, Managed Service Providing (MSP), and Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO).
With this transaction, HeadFirst Group is responding to the market trend that companies increasingly manage talent in an integrated manner – regardless of contract form – known in professional jargon as Total Talent Management. In addition, HeadFirst is responding to the increasing demand from clients for service providers with a broad portfolio of HR services.
HeadFirst actively partners with Stepstone Corporate Finance+ to realize its buy & build ambitions. Stepstone CF+ identified Sterksen as a strategic add-on opportunity, initiated talks with the owners, and made this successful deal happen.
