Adecco Group AG is a Zurich-based human resource services provider operating across Europe, North America, the Asia Pacific, South America, and North Africa. The company was founded in 1957 and is listed on the Swiss exchange under the ticker ADEN, operating within the GICS Human Resource & Employment Services sub-industry.
Its offerings span flexible and permanent placement, career transition and mobility, outsourcing, engineering and IT consulting, talent advisory, coaching, and workforce training (up-skilling/re-skilling). Services are delivered through a multi-brand portfolio including Adecco, Akkodis, LHH, Pontoon, General Assembly, and Modis, among others. The company was formerly known as Adecco S.A.
As a major staffing firm, Adeccos revenue is closely tied to hiring cycles, making it a common proxy for broader labor market trends. The industry is fragmented and competitive, with multinational players typically competing on geographic reach, specialized segment expertise (such as IT and engineering), and value-added services beyond traditional temp placement.
