NOTE TO JOURNALISTS:
Insights from industry experts have been included for your convenience.

According to Elliot Clark, CEO of HRO Today, "It is clear that the investment community and large market clients have embraced the vision of a global recruiting and consulting partner that can help do workforce planning, recruiting management and technology optimization. The recent acquisitions of Sumner Grace, Head2Head in Canada and CPH in the UK demonstrates that WilsonHCG is committed to a global footprint and the ability to help their clients plan and execute on a variety of the challenges required to build a world-class workforce."

Commenting on both acquisitions, Elizabeth Rennie, NelsonHall HRO Research Director said, "WilsonHCG's capability to support growing client needs will be significantly enhanced through its acquisition of Sumner Grace. Sumner Grace offers workforce planning consulting services as well as consulting support to evaluate recruitment technologies. Technology is increasingly important in recruitment delivery as social and mobile dependence is key to engaging with candidates. Further, workforce planning is becoming more important for companies with talent challenges. It is considered the holy grail of HR management, where the workforce make-up is defined and branded, then used to attract the right candidates and talent pipelines to shape the organisation to suit current and future business needs. Workforce planning is an area where HR can make the greatest difference to an organization. With its second acquisition in 2015 of Head2Head, WilsonHCG continues on a global growth trajectory. Having acquired CPH in the U.K. in 2014, its acquisition of Head2Head in Canada will further broaden its delivery capability by adding local presence and enhancing its multi-country RPO offering."
