"Our markets continued their gradual recovery” says Jacques van den Broek, CEO of Randstad. “The Inhouse and Sourceright businesses in particular enjoyed good growth. Both are good examples of solutions that help our clients with their total talent architecture. Our people did very well in growing our business in US staffing, Poland, Italy, Switzerland, and in China. The combination of their diligent execution and entrepreneurship pays off. We have also made good progress in the Netherlands where we returned to growth. Our strategic focus on permanent placements returned the highest level of fees since Q4 2008. With a continued focus on efficiency improvements, and a keen eye for growth opportunities and innovation, we face the future with confidence."
