Seven Step RPO acquires UK firm

September 16, 2014

Seven Step RPO, a Boston-based recruitment process outsourcing firm, acquired BlueGlue, a U.K.-based RPO provider.

BlueGlue’s two U.K. locations, in Devon and Reading, bring Seven Step its first centers outside North America. Seven Step is headquartered in Boston and also has a delivery center in Denver.

“Much like Seven Step RPO, BlueGlue has an excellent reputation for filling hard-to-fill positions and a committed passion to building a world class recruitment culture,” said Seven Step Founder and CEO Beth Gilfeather. “Together with the BlueGlue team, we will help our global customers transform the way they hire top talent.”

The BlueGlue brand and its executives will remain. Founder and CEO Bill Ingram is now executive vice president, global, for Seven Step RPO.

“For 10 years we have been trailblazing with our recruitment solution aimed at fast growth Tech companies in the UK and have been fortunate to work with some of the most wonderful game-changing businesses,” Ingram wrote in a blog post. “We always had our sights on larger horizons. This acquisition will help our company move into the larger scale world of the global Enterprise RPO marketplace.”
