RPO FOR EUROPE
We have since spread across Europe and the Middle East as the talent acquisition partner, growing together with our clients.
The European market, with its political, cultural, and economic complexity, is a challenge when it comes to recruitment. 47 different countries, 24 official languages; cultural, legal, political, and economic diversity at its best. How to organize recruitment on a continent with so many distinctions?
What to do when you require only a few hires a year in some countries?
We discuss these challenges in more depth in our blog Recruiting in Europe - A Nightmare?, highlighting differences between global and regional RPO providers – check it out.
Serendi started its journey in Switzerland as an RPO pioneer with the goal to deliver better recruitment solutions for all types of organizations.
Iberia, France & Italy
South-Eastern Europe
Central-Eastern Europe
Nordics
UK, Ireland & Benelux
D-A-CH
Having a Swiss DNA and a strong track record in the D-A-CH (Germany – Austria – Switzerland) region, these countries have been the starting point for our European growth.
Germany, Austria, and Switzerland are our base countries, where the Serendi journey started. Here we serve single locations and many global or regional headquarters as part of a European RPO solution, across all industries, including Automotive, Industrial, Engineering, Financial Services, Life Science, Consultancy, Transportation, and many more.
Our presence in this regional cluster is predominantly on our clients’ site and supported by the Recruitment Center of Excellence in the bilingual city of Fribourg (Switzerland). The embedded teams rely on close collaboration with the sourcing experts in our Sourcing Center to deliver the best talent to our clients. Our offices in Berlin, Frankfurt, Fribourg, Geneva, Munich, and Zurich support Serendi's local and regional market presence.
Our North-Western Europe cluster covers Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, the UK, and Ireland.
In this region, strong demand for solid talent acquisition solutions comes from the Consulting, Financial Services, and E-Commerce industries, but also from Chemicals, Manufacturing, and Pharmaceutical clients.
Our regional service hubs in London and Eindhoven (the Netherlands) support Serendi's presence all over the area and coordinate our teams working onsite at our regional clients.
Serendi's understanding of the cultural diversity and fluency in the region’s languages has enabled the sourcing of outstanding profiles, translating into strong value-added for our clients. All of this on a regional and global level, for leadership and manager roles as well as local sales or manufacturing operator positions.
Our in-country service hub in London, has allowed us to adapt to evolving Brexit legislation, while abiding by the geographic and immigration rules imposed on candidates.
The Nordic countries cluster includes Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.
This region is a growing player in recruitment outsourcing and appears on Serendi’s map since spring 2022. With a going live at the beginning of 2022, our new office for the region is based in Stockholm (Sweden).
Our long-standing experience and knowledge of local idioms, culture, legislation, economies, and talent markets in the Nordics, put us in a favorable position.
For years, the Nordics have been part of our 360° talent reach approach. Until now, we have been serving the area out of our other regional hubs.
Our Pharma, R&D, Chemicals, and Industrial clients were keen to see the full implementation of onsite teams in the Nordics region, as part of a truly European solution. That is why we decided to launch our Nordics hub in Stockholm, Sweden, by the beginning of 2022.
Thanks to our tailor-made solutions, with flexible costs, we can efficiently serve the Nordic markets where our clients experience limited hiring numbers. We provide the same level of service quality as in high-volume countries.
Our South-Western European cluster covers France, Italy, Portugal, and Spain.
In this cluster, we have built partnerships to deliver RPO solutions to IT Services, Chemicals, Automotive, Industrial, Life Science, and Sales organizations. Our regional office in Paris supports Serendi's overall presence in this area and coordinates our teams, mainly working onsite on our regional clients’ accounts.
Our Iberian hub serves clients with hiring needs in Spain and Portugal with the support of our Spanish and Portuguese-speaking recruitment and sourcing specialists, who screen not only the Iberian talent markets but also beyond. Our Paris hub covers all French-speaking countries, i.e., France, Wallonia (the French-speaking part of Belgium), Luxembourg, and the French-speaking African countries.
We serve our clients with hiring needs in Italy through our Italian-speaking recruitment experts in the Budapest Sourcing Center, who also have in-depth knowledge of the Italian talent market.
Our South-Eastern Europe cluster includes Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Kosovo, North-Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, and Slovenia.
In this region, we currently serve clients from the Manufacturing, Life Sciences, Chemical, and Services industries. The region's recent emergence as an economic player has allowed us to support various greenfield developments. We successfully helped our clients ramp up their new production sites with the recruitment of up to 3.000 employees, through operations aligned with the standards and processes of their other European locations.
Our hub for this country cluster is located right at its center, in Nis, Serbia. Nis is the home base of our onsite and offsite teams in the region. Their members speak different regional languages and have a proven successful track record with our clients.
Serendi’s Nis center is also housing specialist teams in the fields of Data Analytics, Digital Recruitment Marketing, and Sourcing Technology.
The region is increasingly attracting investments, mostly greenfield, which has provoked a battle for talent and created a strong need for recruitment services. We leverage our candidate database and thorough knowledge of the local economy, laws, and political situation, all in your favor.
Our Central and Eastern Europe cluster serves the Baltics, Belarus, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Moldavia, Poland, Slovakia, and Ukraine.
We have gained experience in this cluster in industries such as Manufacturing, Services, Life Sciences, FMCG, and Automotive, including Shared Service Center, Sales & Distribution, and IT center setups.
