Impellam rebrands MSP and RPO operations

May 20, 2014

Staffing firm Impellam Group reported its Guidant Group brand in the U.S. and its Carlisle Managed Solutions brand in the U.K. will integrate and operate under the single Guidant Group brand. The brands provide MSP and RPO services.

As an international brand, Guidant Group will have 230 employees and serve 60 businesses in the U.K., U.S., Canada and mainland Europe, according to U.K.-based Impellam.

Both brands serve the energy and utilities, business services, air transportation, manufacturing, hospitality, retail, insurance and finance sectors.

“As a pioneer in the managed service and recruitment outsourcing industry, globalizing our offering under a familiar name provides our current and prospective customers with the ability to meet their global talent demands with confidence,” said Andrew Zarkadas, managing director, Guidant Group North America.

The U.S. headquarters of Guidant Group will be in Atlanta and the U.K. headquarters will be in Devonshire Square, London.

“As the economic recovery takes hold and a record number of people are already employed, demand for staff is increasing,” said Melanie Forbes, managing director, Guidant Group U.K. and Europe. “We’re moving back to an environment where the candidate is in the driver’s seat and the war for talent is heating up. Yet ambitious business growth plans seem to be out of step with this candidate driven market. Our clients tell us they need the flexibility to be able to source, recruit and manage talent overseas across borders  to keep pace with these trends and grow their businesses. Guidant Group was formed in direct response to this.”

Impellam ranks as the 17th-largest staffing firm in the world.
