Obvious People<\/a> is a Rotterdam-based Salesforce and data secondment specialist. Its recruitment specialists travel around the world looking for the most talented tech and IT professionals. Once identified, Obvious People will facilitate the relocation of these Salesforce & Data professionals to Europe, supporting the migration process from A to Z, including but not limited to visas, flights, housing, registration, insurance, and language classes. <\/p>\n

World of Talents<\/a> is a specialised international HR group with a strict focus on shortage occupations and talent management. The World of Talents group generates a turnover of around \u20ac350 million and has over 4,500 specialists in various niche markets. The company operates in Belgium and the Netherlands under the House of Talents brand. <\/p>\n

Steve Rousseau (CEO of World of Talents): \u201cWe warmly welcome Obvious People to World of Talents. It\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dave Schmidt (founder and CEO of Obvious People) adds: \u201cThe 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\u2019m really looking forward to taking the next step together in developing Obvious People with this great partner.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.
