WilsonHCG acquires UK-based RPO firm

April 29, 2014

Recruitment process outsourcing provider WilsonHCG acquired CPH, a U.K.-based RPO provider. The transaction closed April 24 and terms were not announced.

CPH operates offices in London, Manchester and Sydney; it was founded in 2005. CPH will operate as CPH, a WilsonHCG company, for 90 days and then transition to the WilsonHCG brand. The CPH executive team will remain in place, with Jerry Wright as managing director and John Wilson as CEO of the combined organization.

WilsonHCG, headquartered in Tampa, Fla., has been seeking a global acquisition since 2012, according to founder and CEO John Wilson.

“Not only is the market dictating a need for global capabilities from a single vendor model, but our clients expressed a need for further on-site and in-market support around the world,” Wilson said. “Top talent is what powers companies across the globe, and our comprehensive human capital services and consultative recruitment delivery approach will provide an unparalleled talent acquisition solution for these organizations.”

CPH office locations include London and Manchester, England, and Sydney, Australia. Following its acquisition, WilsonHCG now counts six offices and approximately 300 employees.
