A balanced and diverse model
We have deliberately built a business which is balanced and diverse. Our strategy is purposefully designed to capitalise on the megatrends driving change in our industry, and also to withstand turbulent economic times.
Across our business, we have market-leading positions in long-term structural growth markets, such as Technology and Engineering globally, plus the relatively immature markets of Europe and Asia. We are also leaders in more mature markets, but which still offer long-term growth potential, such as the UK and Australia. We also have significant market share opportunities with large Enterprise clients globally, which we see as a growth area and one where we have potential to grow in related talent services.

Emerging countries
Emerging countriesrepresent the 20 countries in our global network. Each has the potential to be an attractive growth market and are also important from a network standpoint to service our Enterprise clients.
We are leaders in Temporary, Contracting and Permanent recruitment. We have scale and expertise in 21 specialist areas of skilled employment. We are predominantly Private sector-focused, but also serve Public sector clients in some markets. Within our portfolio of services, we work on high volume, high service, multi-year outsourcing contracts with many of the largest organisations in the world, as well as one-off placements for SMEs.
The balance, breadth and scale of our business is unique in the world of specialist recruitment. This helps to make our business relatively more resilient to today’s uncertain macroeconomic and political landscapes.
