Solid start to Q3 for StepStone

StepStone today announced a solid start to Q3, with record Online sales in July and more than thirty new Solutions customers secured already in the quarter to date. Rapid progress has also been made on integrating Recruiter Norge AS, acquired in July, into the Solutions business. The combined organisation now boasts more than 310 Solutions customers in Norway alone.

Colin Tenwick, CEO of StepStone, said: StepStone has had a solid start to Q3. We maintained momentum through the traditionally slower summer period and are well positioned for the coming months where we expect strong demand across both our Online and Solutions businesses.

Key company milestones and highlights in the quarter to date include:

Respected blue chip organisations including TomTom International (Netherlands), KPMG (Denmark), Procter & Gamble (Italy), Telia Sonera (Sweden), Statoil Energy and Retail (Norway) and Cisco (pan-European) complete StepStone subscriptions during July and August.

Strong performance by our distributor networks in key emerging markets of Eastern Europe, Russia and China during the summer months

Integration of Recruiter Norge AS staff into the Norwegian operation and strong start with respect to product integration and customer migration

StepStone's new radio advertising campaigns commence and are scheduled to air during Q3 and Q4 in Denmark and the Netherlands

Our full-year outlook remains on track, continued Tenwick. Fundamentals continue to strengthen and we are continuing to execute against plan.

StepStone will announce its results for Q3 on 25 October.
