Buy and sell side perspectives on deals and valuation drivers in recruitment M&A

Join us on Thursday 27th April 2023 for an update on M&A trends for staffing and talent solutions firms, with analysis of deals and how to enhance equity value from industry leading advisers.

Despite political uncertainty and economic challenges, deal volumes and investor interest remained high in 2022 with 35 UK transactions and global activity up by 50% (BDO). Historically low unemployment and high vacancy levels combined with rising interest from overseas buyers and private equity investors should drive M&A activity in 2023 – but how long will the cost of money impact deals, what will achieve the highest multiples, and what part will talent tech play?

This invitation-only event is designed for senior staffing and talent solutions leaders who are making strategic decisions about mergers & acquisitions, funding and investment, new growth models and ventures, and digital transformation.
