We live in uncertain times. And the world of work we traverse has been no less unpredictable. What does it take to navigate this volatility? Boldness.

Welcome to the Europe Staffing 100 class of 2022. The honourees on the list are going where no one has ventured before in the world of work. They are bold leaders juggling both talent expectations and client demands in an uncertain economy.

Still, these intrepid leaders have continued to focus on fueling their companies’ growth through expanded geographic footprints and new offerings. At the same time, they are mentoring the next generation of talent while paying attention to boosting diversity, equity and inclusion in the industry. We are delighted to feature these trailblazers in our annual Europe edition of Staffing Industry Review magazine on page 18.

We also have a stable of experts exploring different trends in our ecosystem. John Nurthen, SIA’s executive director of global research, outlines why staffing firms need to do their due diligence before using psychometric assessments. Good interview techniques, thorough reference checking and objective skills testing can go a long way to validate candidate fit, he writes. Meanwhile, Research Analyst Francesca Profeta outlines how access to DE&I data is looking like a game changer when it comes to the strategy, monitoring and success of diversity programs. All this and many more valuable nuggets of information that can help move your company forward are available in this edition of the magazine.

My team and I hope we are fulfilling our mission of providing information that helps you stay competitive.

We welcome your feedback.
