The Adecco Group today announced the acquisition of US-based Mullin International, a provider of individual career transition solutions, redeployment solutions, and executive coaching.

Mullin will be integrated into the Adecco Group’s subsidiary Lee Hecht Harrison. Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. The Adecco Group stated that the acquisition “strengthens the Adecco Group’s market leading position in the attractive career transition and talent development market in North America.”

Founded in 1980, Mullin International has 1,400 global consultants and serves customers in the Americas, EMEA and APAC.

“The acquisition of Mullin International strengthens Lee Hecht Harrison’s position as the global market leader,” Peter Alcide, Lee Hecht Harrison President and Chief Operating Officer, said. “We are excited to integrate Mullin’s experienced team with Lee Hecht Harrison’s to further strengthen our fast-growing senior executive transition business, as well as continuing to accelerate the impact of our re-imagined approach to career transition.”

“Rapid changes in hiring practices have had a significant impact on the career transition industry and many of the traditional approaches to career transition are evolving fast. Lee Hecht Harrison is embracing these changes, with its long history of innovation and strong commitment to investing in improving its products and services for clients and candidates,” Keith Mullin, Chief Executive Officer of Mullin International, said. “Lee Hecht Harrison and Mullin have very similar values so joining Lee Hecht Harrison is a natural evolution for Mullin.”
