Tech recruitment firm Frank Recruitment has announced its 21st global office with the opening of a site in Geneva, Switzerland.
The company, which started in Newcastle in 2006 with just three members of staff, now employs almost 2,000 people in nine different countries. The new office will see around 50 jobs created over the next five years.
The opening will also see Frank Recruitment Group further increase its reach in Europe and enable the firm to better support its growing global client base.
It said the Swiss technology market is expanding quickly, with demand growing for IT professionals to support the digitalisation and cloud migration transformation of companies in various sectors.
Paul Hanley, director of sales and head of the Geneva office, said: “Our new Swiss base will allow us to offer better support to our clients and partners in the region, at a time when specialist technology recruitment consulting is more needed than ever.
“We want to replicate the success we’ve achieved in other global regions here in Switzerland by solidifying our position as the leaders in cloud tech staffing solutions, and continue to enable digital transformation by delivering the best permanent and contract tech talent to businesses that need it.”
At the new location, Frank Recruitment Group will initially launch its Nigel Frank, Mason Frank, and FRG Technology Consulting brands, which recruit for Microsoft, Salesforce, and emerging technology specialists.
Frank Recruitment Group president Zoë Morris said: “I’m especially proud to be launching our Swiss office.
