Overview
The company traces its roots to IT-Staffing, a pioneer in the Dutch staffing market in 1986, which grew into De Staffing Groep and was renamed Circle8 on 1 December 2022. The rebrand set the business fully behind Total Talent Flow, the view that organisations can deploy human capital as effectively as possible at all times and in all places. Within Circle8 Group Inc.'s European portfolio, Circle8 Netherlands operates as the group's Dutch operating company alongside sister brands such as SevenStars, offering intermediary services, RPO, MSP, secondment and labour leasing, temp-to-perm and talent development.
