Adecco Rebuilds U.S. After Taking Eye Off Most Lucrative Market

Adecco, the world’s biggest supplier of temporary workers, is rebuilding its U.S. presence after “missing the boat” in the lucrative computer-staffing market, Chief Executive Officer Patrick De Maeseneire said.

Adecco has struggled to keep up with the American market since doubling its global information-technology staffing sales to $800 million by acquiring U.S.-based MPS Group Inc. for $1.2 billion in 2010.
