Our company

This is about more than our company. It's about our people. People with a passion for helping others. People who are experts in their roles. People who learn from setbacks and celebrate successes. People who absolutely, 100% love what they do.

Our history

Long story short, we've got more than 50 years' experience in the staffing game. In that time, we've merged, acquired and grown our way to becoming the global staffing leader. The name "Adecco" itself actually came about back in 1996 when two of the world's top staffing firms, Adia and Ecco, merged. And while we appreciate our history, we're much more focused on the future—ours and yours.

Our leadership

Some companies have head honchos. Top dogs. Or big cheeses. Nothing against cheeses or dogs or honchos (whatever they are), but our leaders are really just hard-working, passionate people. Many even started out as recruiters, rolled their sleeves up and worked their way to the top. Here's your chance to learn a bit about them.
