Nakama Group expands into North America with the launch of its
New York office
Nakama New York Inc. opens its doors with Jane Richardson
appointed as Managing Director
Nakama Group plc (AIM: NAK), the AIM quoted international
recruitment consultancy providing staff for the Web, Interactive,
Digital Media, IT and Business Change sectors, has announced the
launch of its latest office, Nakama New York Inc. with Jane
Richardson appointed as Managing Director. The launch into North
America is part of the Group's strategic global expansion plan with
five offices already established in cities across Asia and
Europe.
Jane joins the growing senior management team at Nakama Global
from Aquent, a global staffing and outsourcing firm, where she was
Director of Strategic Relationships across the UK. For over 16
years, Jane built and led a successful team of consultants that
serviced both temporary and permanent talent for the digital
creative, print and marketing sectors.
Nakama New York Inc. already boasts an impressive client list
and has a number of live roles with various top New York and
International agencies. Jane will work closely with Paul Goodship,
Managing Director of Nakama London on growing a specialist team of
recruitment consultants to meet US market demand.
Rob Sheffield, CEO of Nakama Group plc, commented:
"Our investment in this launch phase of our New York business
reflects and responds to the strong demand for the specialist
digital recruitment services that Nakama Global can provide.
"Our fast-growing client base and Jane's strong digital industry
experience puts us in an excellent position to continue our growth
trajectory in the US."
Jane Richardson, Managing Director of Nakama New York Inc.,
commented:
"We believe our offering as a specialist digital recruitment
firm in the US is unique. Market demand and the opportunity for
rolling out our services there, is reflected by our launch and
success in already signing up a number of top New York agencies
with live roles in the full digital and integrated spectrum.
"Our priority right now to engage with quality local and global
talent as the time has never been better for candidates looking for
opportunities in the US. We're seeing all sorts of scenarios play
out; ex-pats returning home, local talent looking for their next
move along with those who are considering the US as a new
location."
Paul Goodship, Managing Director of Nakama London,
commented:
"Our business across the globe is growing on the back of a
thriving digital sector and from this backdrop, the US is revealing
a strong appetite for a firm that not only specialises in digital,
but one that can also demonstrate a long track record in providing
a professional, relationship - focused approach to recruitment.
Now, our emphasis and challenge will be on building a team that is
in line with that vision.
"We're in a the best possible position for success with Jane's
experience in growing large teams in international recruitment
firms focusing on the digital creative sectors."
