Randstad France, a company that focuses on providing HR services ranging from recruitment, integration, management, and training, agreed to acquire Side, a developer of an online staffing service platform. Financial terms were not disclosed. “The role of technology is becoming increasingly important in the world of HR services. In a tightening labor market, this acquisition would allow us to offer customers and talent a new solution to those looking for a fully digital experience. However, it is our shared values and the belief in the crucial role of the ‘human touch’ underpinned by technology which makes me excited to welcome their great people to our team," Sander van 't Noordende, Randstad CEO.
