FutureStep, the innovative online recruitment service aimed at high-performing executives has acquired the global executive recruitment business of PA Consulting Group. The move will make FutureStep clear brand leader in many of its most important markets across the world, while strengthening its position as a major player in its newer markets.
Ken Brotherstone, FutureStep's UK Managing Director told Online Recruitment , Our innovative, online recruitment consultancy goes way beyond what job banks already available on the internet have to offer, but while ground-breaking technology is important, this is still a people business. We use technology to support, but not to replace, human interaction.
FutureStep is owned by parent company KornFerry and they view the purchase as that it will widen the gap between it and its competitors.
