Proffice to become a main supplier of staffing services to ICA
Proffice signs letter of intent to become ICA’s main supplier of staffing services in Sweden and Norway during a two year cooperation. ICA is a significant buyer of staffing services, which means that this will be one of the largest contracts signed by Proffice to date.
ICA (one of the Nordic region’s leading retail companies) will concentrate their purchasing of staffing services to Proffice, once the agreement is in place. The cooperation will include both temporary staffing and permanent recruitment, within the areas finance, office/customer service, IT and warehousing. This type of cooperation will increase the efficiency both for ICA and Proffice.
– We look very much forward to this cooperation with ICA. Our partner alliance with the ICA-group in Sweden and Norway, will strengthen Proffice’s position as the Nordic specialist within selected business areas, says Lars Wahlström, CEO, Proffice AB.
The new agreement will create a number of new job openings and Proffice will set up a separate business organisation with focus on ICA.
– Our clear specialisation gives a high credibility to our ability to solve ICA’s staffing needs. The platform for our future cooperation is an attractive partnership model, which is unique in the staffing industry, says Lars Kry, MD Proffice Sverige AB.
The cooperation, which includes the market in both Sweden and Norway, will start in December 2007 and the agreement will be valid for two years. One of the first assignments will be to support ICA’s recruitment of 120 IT-specialists during 2008.
