The company’s primary division, Adecco, led the charge with a 6.6 percent year-on-year increase, bolstered by strong results in the Americas and APAC regions. Akkodis returned to growth at 1 percent, while LHH stabilized as its Professional Recruitment Solutions sector saw a modest recovery. These results reflect a broader trend of productivity gains, with internal metrics showing a 6 percent increase in efficiency.

CEO Denis Machuel credited the performance to disciplined strategy and a heightened focus on technology. The group reached its initial target of having 50 percent of revenues generated through agent-enabled platforms and has since raised that goal to 70 percent by the end of the year. Financial health remains a priority, as evidenced by an 83 percent cash conversion rate and a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio that sits 0.5x lower than the previous year.
