英国招聘服务和IT外包服务供应商Harvey Nash2017年营收增长9.2%

（2018年5月17日，/HRoot.com/）英国招聘服务和IT外包服务供应商Harvey Nash近日公布的报告称，2017财年公司营收按固定汇率计算增长9.2%，运营利润下降40.3%。这家总部位于伦敦的招聘服务和IT外包服务供应商也公布了其转型计划。

“我们已经开始进行转型，将会在未来几个月内完成，”HarveyNash首席执行官Albert Ellis表示。

该公司转型计划为:

专注于公司在技术和数字转型市场的关键优势
投资于英国、欧洲和越南的市场领先业务
通过关闭业绩不佳的办公室、审查管理费用和提高效率来精简业务
将公司的上市计划转移到另类投资市场（AIM），将其视为公司收购策略的一个更合适的环境(在2017年7月生效)

该公司报告称，尽管受英国脱欧的不确定性影响，但公司2017财年在英国和爱尔兰的总利润增长了7.2%。Ellis表示，伦敦受英国脱欧影响最大，但它也促使金融服务业的招聘量增加。该公司在伦敦的金融服务部门的营收增长了28%。英国其他地区受英国脱欧的影响并不大。

在欧洲其他地区，比荷卢经济联盟的毛利润增长了16.9%，而北欧的毛利润则增长了5.3%。通过减少员工人数和物业成本，对挪威、瑞士和德国的业务进行重组。

欧洲以外地区毛利润下降了11.9%，而越南的运营利润增长了60.3%。该公司在亚洲采取了一系列措施以提高业绩，包括关闭中国香港办事处和在日本和新加坡的高管寻猎业务。在美国的技术招聘业务面临着严重的技能短缺，尤其是在西海岸地区，技术招聘业务在美国西海岸面临严重的技能短缺问题，与上年相比，空缺职位的转换率有所降低，这也影响到招聘人数和永久性招聘人数的水平。美国地区的毛利润下降了16.4% (在按固定汇率计算基础上下降18.9%)，关闭了业绩亏损的丹佛办公室。

Harvey Nash于2017年收购了一家总部位于英国的IT解决方案和招聘公司Crimson Limited，以及瑞典人力资源咨询公司PAT Management AB。

今年早些时候，彭博社援引知情人士的消息透露，Glassdoor正在接洽银行，准备在今年下半年进行首次公开募股。

UK – HARVEY NASH TRANSFORMATION NEARLY DONE, 2017 REVENUE UP 9% IN CONSTANT CURRENCY

(May.17, 2018, /staffingindustry.com/)Harvey Nash (HVN: LSE) reported revenue rose 9.2% in constant currency in 2017, but operating profit fell 40.3%, according to preliminary results released last week. The London-based global IT recruitment and services firm also reported wrapping up its transformation program, and looking ahead.

“We’ve done the transformation, it’s effectively finally completed, probably the next few months,” CEO Albert Ellis said in a video interview announced by the firm.

The company described its transformation programme as:

focusing on the company’s key strength in the Technology and Digital Transformation markets;
investing in market-leading businesses in the UK, Europe and Vietnam;
streamlining operations by closing underperforming offices, reviewing overheads and driving efficiencies;
moving the company’s listing to AIM (Alternative Investment Market) which it regards as a more appropriate environment for the company’s acquisition strategy (effected in July 2017).

The company reported gross profit rose by 7.2% in the UK and Ireland during 2017 despite the Brexit uncertainty. London was most affected by Brexit, but it’s prompting the financial service sector to hire, Ellis said. The firm’s London financial services division saw revenue rise 28%. There wasn’t much of an impact in the rest of the UK from Brexit.

In other parts of Europe, gross profit rose 16.9% in Benelux, and gross profit was up 5.3% in the Nordics. Actions were taken to restructure businesses in Norway, Switzerland and Germany by reducing headcount and property costs.

Outside of Europe, gross profit fell 11.9% though operating profit in Vietnam increased by 60.3%. The company took a number of actions in Asia to improve performance including the closure of the Hong Kong office and the executive search businesses in Japan and Singapore. The US technology recruitment business faced acute skills shortages particularly on the West Coast, which reduced conversion rates from vacancies into placements reducing contractor numbers and the level of permanent placements compared to the prior year. US gross profit declined by 16.4% to £13.9m (down 18.9% on a constant currency basis) and the loss-making Denver office was closed.

Acquisitions by Harvey Nash in 2017 included Crimson Limited, a UK-based IT solutions and recruitment company, and PAT Management AB, a Swedish human resource consultancy.
