The Gdansk GCSC, located in the heart of the Alchemia Business Centre, will play an integral role in Alexander Mann Solutions’ integrated service offerings supporting international clients including Rolls Royce, Citi, GE, Deloitte, and Novartis.
The GCSC already boasts an impressive headcount, growing from 40 to 100 people in four months, with plans to increase headcount significantly over the coming year to 200. Commenting on the expansion, Jolanta Gantkowska, Director of Operations, Mainland Europe, based in Poland, said:
“Poland is an exciting and dynamic market that presents numerous opportunities for businesses and individuals alike. We know that Poland has an immense pool of talented, multilingual, experienced professionals, based on our experiences of growing our Krakow Centre to over 700 quality colleagues. We’ve looked forward to further expanding our operations, providing us the opportunity to open another Service Centre, this time in the vibrant city of Gdansk, complementing not only our existing Krakow Centre, but also our global remit.”
John Collington, Group Director of Operations at Alexander Mann Solutions added:
“Our vision at Alexander Mann Solutions is simple: to enable people and organisations to fulfil their potential through effective talent acquisition and management. In order to achieve this, we need to be at the heart of growing economies, and Poland more than fits this brief. We’re proud to be realising the potential of the Polish market and supporting its growth on the world stage.
The next chapter in the Gdansk Global Client Service Centre’s development is well under way, and we’re excited to establish ourselves as a permanent member of the Polish business community.”
Much support has been received from local investors and law officials, welcoming Alexander Mann Solutions to the Tri-City area:
“The official opening of the office is a perfect opportunity to summarise our cooperation with Alexander Mann Solutions. The pilot program, carried out since May 2015 ended successfully and Pomerania proved to be a perfect location for an international company specialising in recruitment process outsourcing. We are proud that such a prestigious brand as Alexander Mann Solutions trusted our staff and wants to create more jobs. I hope that this positive signal about the good business climate in the region will reach new investors.” - says Mieczyslaw Struk, Marshal of Pomeranian Voivodeship
Andrzej Bojanowski, Deputy Mayor of Gdansk adds:
“We are pleased that another global brand, Alexander Mann Solutions, joins the group of Gdansk investors. Thereby the range of services our staff provides locally is expanding to global entities, as Alexander Mann Solutions is recruiting for the largest companies in the world. Until this moment, most investors have been focused on IT and financial services. This shows the expansion of competencies available for investors, their trust in our labour market, the quality of staff, and the willingness to develop our region.”
Marcin Grzegory, Project Manager, Invest in Pomerania, further highlights the positive outlook for the local market:
“The new Alexander Mann Solutions office in Gdansk proves that the Tri-City labour market has grown enough to host diversified projects. The modern business services sector in Pomerania has been joined by a well-known brand that specialises in recruitment processes. What Alexander Mann Solutions has found here is not only highly skilled employees but also top class office space. The project will create a big opportunity for those who have not been that successful on the work market so far.”
