Already one of the largest RPO providers in EMEA, these acquisitions will accelerate Ochre House's positioning. Ochre House not only gains recruitment expertise in the Middle East North Africa region and the fast growing TAAHEED company, whose revenues have grown 200% in the past year, but now strengthens its global RPO capability and being able to provide RPO across all major regions and continents. Ochre House has come a long way from providing RPO primarily in the U.K. in 2007 to now providing RPO in ~40 countries in regions which include:
*Europe

The Ochre House and Pinstripe partnership, which began in 2009 has proven to be one of the most successful in the industry, winning brand name joint clients. Success is attributed to both companies sharing similar values and key success factors including:
*Both are pureplay RPO specialists whose focus is permanent recruitment
*Both are focused on talent management, not just recruitment, providing what NelsonHall sees as the richer, more value-added RPO services that include: talent strategy, internal mobility, employer branding and engagement, development and retention of employees.
