Trafford Park recruitment consultancy expands in Poland

Trafford Park-based Transline Group has opened an office in the Polish city of Poznan as it seeks to capitalise on an under-serviced Eastern European market.

Transline’s research valued the Polish recruitment market at £1 billion, with year-on-year growth of 15%.

A permanent office space has been established in the Old Market Square in the heart of Poznan. Six permanent employees operate from the site.

Jon Taylor, joint CEO at Transline Group, said: “We view our expansion into Poland as a key milestone in the growth of our international business. There is a real hunger for our services amongst key sectors in Poland.

“Establishing a team on the ground will allow us to capitalise on a growing market and service clients in Eastern Europe in a genuine way as we understand their market.”

Transline provides innovative and high end service delivery throughout the temporary recruitment and supply chain staffing industry.

Paul Beasley, joint CEO at Transline Group, commented: “This is a tremendously exciting time for Transline. Our international business has grown significantly in the past few years.

“It is a strategic priority that we not only expand across borders, but maintain our service levels for every business that engages Transline regardless of location or sector.”

Transline saw a 52% increase in turnover compared to 2012, as its UK sales climbed to £107.9m in 2013. The business was also recently named ‘Best Temporary Recruitment Agency’ at The Recruiter Awards for Excellence 2014.

The Poznan office has launched a recruitment drive to ensure demand for Transline’s services can be met. Popular roles include warehouse operatives, class 1 and 2 drivers and mobile phone technicians.
