RPO Providers: A Look into 2025. How will RPO shape 2025? In the dynamic landscape of Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) in the UK and Europe, 2025 is set to be a significant year. Companies are increasingly seeking efficient ways to handle their recruitment needs, and RPO providers are expected to step up to this challenge. Why the growing confidence? Transparency, cost-effectiveness, and expertise. We’re witnessing a surge in demand for agile and adaptable RPO solutions that can scale with business needs.

Because this shift underscores the critical role that RPO providers are playing in bridging talent gaps and driving growth. The European market is diverse, and the ability to cater to this array of needs while maintaining a standard of excellence will set top RPO providers apart.

Tech sector shows surprising strength 💪 Amidst economic uncertainties, the global tech sector is emerging resilient. According to DLA Piper's 2024 Tech Index, two-thirds of tech firms anticipate revenue growth next year, with a third expecting increases of 6% or more. The sector recorded its highest-ever confidence score of 71, up from 68, driven by venture capital markets, talent availability, and a supportive regulatory environment. AI stands out as a major growth opportunity, especially in Europe. Companies are showing greater adaptability, moving towards sustainable growth rather than aggressive expansion. What are your thoughts on the tech sector's resilience? Comment below or visit charles-simon.co.uk for more insights. #Tech #Growth #AI #Innovation #Business

‘In the private equity world, it’s all about…getting money back to investors,’ says Roper Technologies CEO Neil Hunn, who predicts more sales from private equity in H2. Maria Armental Increased sales require increased due diligence (DD), which is not just a box-ticking exercise but a critical component of value creation. Interim advisory skills play a pivotal role in this process. These professionals bring a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective, helping to identify potential risks and opportunities that might otherwise be overlooked. Due diligence, when done right, can uncover hidden gems or red flags in a potential investment. It’s about understanding the business inside out - its financial health, market position, competitive landscape, and growth potential. But it doesn’t stop there. Post-acquisition, interim advisors can provide valuable guidance in executing the value creation plan, driving operational improvements, and ensuring a successful exit. In essence, due diligence is much more than a pre-investment analysis. It’s a continuous process that plays a crucial role in shaping the investment strategy, managing the portfolio, and ultimately, delivering superior returns to investors. Share your post-acquisition interim DD experience and challenges in the comments. #DueDiligence #InterimAdvisory #ValueCreation #InvestmentStrategy

The first half of 2024 saw an 18% yoy increase in ConTech investment deals. North America led the way in funding after receiving 55% of investment across the 2nd quarter, a repeat of the previous 12 month period. Overall ConTech investment for the 1st half of 2024 was slightly less than compared to the same period of 2023, standing at $1.23B. However, on a positive note, the number of deals secured during the 2nd quarter increased by 20% when compared to the 1st. By far the busiest sector was that of Green Construction, with 35% of overall investment, followed closely by Enhanced Productivity (BIM, Geo, Digital Twins) with 30% investment. The largest single North American deal was that of a Series A round led by Chevron Corp., investing into ION Clean Energy out of Boulder, Colorado.
