An extraordinary year

Every Happy Rebel in House of HR has shown extreme agility, flexibility and an open mindedness and resilience that we have never witnessed before. We cannot thank everyone enough for the extreme efforts they've made.

Our performance

The results of House of HR will surprise many. Ending 2020 at 'only' a minus 10% in sales and with an EBITDA % of over 11% is something we would have signed for in March, at the beginning of the outbreak. Sales decline is lower than many of those considered to be the peers of House of HR and profitability is far above. Why?

The focus on Specialized Talent Solutions and Engineering & Consulting explains House of HR’s profitability profile.

SPECIALIZED TALENT SOLUTIONS

Our Specialized Talent Solutions segment consists of our general and specialized staffing segments. This department is home to our Accent, Covebo, TimePartner (and Zaquensis) business units (excluding IBB and AERO). In this part of our business, we have operations in Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands, as well as branches in countries that form part of our international recruiting networks. The Specialized Staffing segment provides temporary staffing solutions with a focus on ‘temp-to-perm’ placements, international job candidate recruiting and permanent placements for clients who need specific job profiles.

ENGINEERING & CONSULTING

Our Engineering & Consulting segment is comprised of Abylsen, Continu, Vialegis, Redmore, Gritt (which includes TEC and Logi-Technic) and the subbusiness units of TimePartner: IBB and AERO. Abylsen, Redmore and Continu are the largest financial contributors to this segment. Revenue comes from operations in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and Belgium. Our business units in this segment typically provide medium- to highlyskilled job candidates, including engineers, technicians and other white-collar consultants to clients from a diversified range of markets.

GETTING THE STRATEGY RIGHT!

Our decentralized model allowed for very fast decision making at the level of each powerhouse, at the level of each specialty and at the level of each branch. Every candidate situation is different, customer segments reacted differently and the different countries and even regions within countries were rolling out other measures. Therefore a tailor made response was required and helped to match the measures taken to the specific challenges people were faced with, resulting in the best approach aligning costs to revenue, while ensuring future growth.

LOOKING AHEAD

We see 2021 as a year of promise. While still not able to put the Covid19 crisis fully behind us, we are very hopeful and positive. The impact of the crisis on work, and especially on the job areas we are active in, has decreased significantly. At the same time, work may have become even more important in striving for the ‘new normal’. Therefore, we believe that towards the second half  of 2021 things should reach 2019 levels again. May 2021 be the year of the Happy Rebound was our New Year’s wish... we believe it will.

Solid foundations

Describing and highlighting the financial impact of the year’s main events on House of HR is at the same time easy and challenging, as there have been many phases throughout 2020. Everything that happened in 2020 put our teams, our clients and our candidates under extreme pressure, as it did for all of our society.
