- (1888PressRelease) December 07, 2016 - Through an agreement signed by its parent company, Randstad, RiseSmart announced that it has broadened its outplacement support in Australia and New Zealand. RiseSmart is the leading provider of contemporary career transition services and is expanding globally to support a growing number of multinational corporations and their employees.
Last week, global recruitment and HR services specialist, Randstad, announced that it signed an agreement to acquire Sageco, a leading provider of career transitions in Australia and New Zealand. The combination of Randstad's 25-year in-country market presence, Sageco's local expertise, and RiseSmart's technology will provide comprehensive career transition and outplacement solutions to Australia and New Zealand.
In 2015, Randstad acquired RiseSmart as part of a broader strategy to become the leading global player in the outplacement industry. The signed agreement with Sageco further underscores this global mission. Sageco provides specialized solutions for workforces facing organizational shifts due to redeployment, redundancy, retirement, role, and leadership changes. Sageco has deep expertise in career, mature age, and executive transitions through its large staff and broad presence in 10 locations across Australia and New Zealand.
"Combining the power of Randstad's HR industry expertise with Sageco's local connections and RiseSmart's progressive outplacement offerings allows us to deliver highly differentiated solutions and tangible results to our multinational customers," said Sanjay Sathe, president and CEO at RiseSmart. "It also sends a strong message that we're delivering on Randstad's 'Tech & Touch' approach for outplacement and quickly fulfilling our mission of becoming the global market leader in career transition solutions."
Alison Monroe, national director, Australia New Zealand for the new Sageco, said, "With this acquisition, we bring together Sageco's holistic approach, RiseSmart's innovative technology platforms and Randstad's experience and global reach. The new Sageco will no doubt be a force and market leader in Australia and the Asia Pacific region."
With offices throughout the U.S., Canada and India, RiseSmart is leading the industry with its proprietary outplacement model, achieving job-landing rates 60 percent faster than the national average and customer retention rates of 98 percent.
