The alliance agreement has been signed by ANCOR CEO Mr Sergey Salikov and Randstad Executive Board Member Mr Jacques van den Broek on October 10th, 2012 at Randstad headquarters in Diemen.
Within the alliance agreement ANCOR obtains the status of an official exclusive partner to Randstad on the territory of CIS countries. Herewith, both companies will keep operating separately and remain fully independent.
Russia, as an emerging economy, has been a strategic priority for the largest global businesses recently, thus the demand for staffing and professional HR services in the region has been growing considerably.
Partnering with ANCOR Randstad gets an opportunity to supply global customers with high-quality HR services across the CIS countries. As a result Randstad enhances global competi-tive advantages in the international markets without actually entering the Russian staffing market.
ANCOR, in its turn, gets access to Randstad’s 50+ years markets experience and technologies, as well as an opportunity to provide Russian clientele with professional HR solutions world-wide.
Sergey Salikov, ANCOR Holding CEO comments: “Alliance with Randstad, a truly global and market-leading player in the staffing and HR services industry is of strategic importance for ANCOR, it provides access for us to international tenders with global corporations, apart from that we obtain invaluable large-scale project management experience from a global part-ner. Within this agreement we are in position to take our business to a totally new level and boost further growth of ANCOR’s business.”
