Hudson Global, Inc., a leading global total talent solutions company, announced the acquisition of Alpha Consulting Group (ACG), a Japan-based provider of recruitment services to a variety of companies, ranging from small- and medium-sized businesses to blue-chip and multinational organizations primarily in the IT services, technology, and business services sectors. Entrance into the Japanese market represents a localization strategy for Hudson RPO in the second largest market within APAC and the third largest market globally.

Jake Zabkowicz, global CEO of Hudson RPO, noted, “Today’s announcement fits well within our three-pronged strategy of growing our business organically and through accretive bolt-on acquisitions via the expansion of: our client case, our geographic footprint, and our capabilities and cross selling of services across regions and clients. At the same time, it gives Hudson RPO immediate access to ACG’s impressive list of current clients in Japan. We welcome ACG’s employees and clients into our team and company and look forward to collaborating with them on many solutions for new and existing clients of both our companies.”

Jeff Eberwein, chief executive officer of Hudson Global, noted, “The acquisition of ACG provides Hudson RPO the capability to provide local and on-site support within the large Japanese recruiting market, a home of many multinational companies, and represents an important milestone for Hudson RPO because we are now able to support our existing clients’ needs in Japan. With an already strong presence in the APAC region, our entrance into Japan fills the last remaining geographic area required to make Hudson RPO a truly global service provider to our clients.”
