This is expressed, among other things, in our investment strategy. We are active owners in tech companies where we see growth opportunities and potential to challenge the traditional recruitment industry. We use the technology we invest in every day and as a result we free up more time for advice and evaluation in our recruitment processes, which ultimately leads to more qualified recruits.
