Steve Rousseau (CEO of World of Talents): “We warmly welcome Obvious People to World of Talents. It’s in our DNA to join forces with specialised players like Obvious People. They fit right in with our ambition to build a specialised network across Europe that offers the right expertise for HR niches with a major shortage of skilled talent. This acquisition expands our presence in Europe and immediately gives us new opportunities to apply their unique sourcing and migration model to other specialties.”
Dave Schmidt (founder and CEO of Obvious People) adds: “The World of Talents acquisition gives us access to an international network, which leads to an acceleration of our growth. Add to this the fact that both companies have similar DNA, and that explains our choice of World of Talents. I’m really looking forward to taking the next step together in developing Obvious People with this great partner.”
By acquiring Obvious People, World of Talents gains a wealth of knowledge regarding international recruitment. This knowledge can also be used for other HR niches with significant shortages.
