A bright spot on the horizon for the European HR services sector

HR Europe Spot On

After a bumpy time during 2023, when macroeconomic factors such as inflationary pressures and high interest rates impacted GDP across Europe, this year has started on a more positive footing for the continent.

As we report in our new HR Europe Spot On, this bodes well for the employment staffing sector, with better economic growth prospects in the face of tight labor markets.

We look at these key trends and consider the outlook for the months to come. We also provide an overview of recent transactions in the HR Europe sector, with the deal numbers from early 2024 showing promise, while valuation levels reflect investor optimism that better times are here and seem set to continue.

Lastly, you can read a case study that covers the purchase by Pauwels Consulting of a majority stake in ATG Europe, where Oaklins acted as exclusive sell-side advisor.
