In 2024, HeadFirst Group once again captured the second position in the renowned Flexmarkt Turnover Ranking Top-100. The HR-tech service provider achieved revenue growth of €333.3 million in the Netherlands during the year 2023, entirely organically.

For the year 2022, HeadFirst Group recorded a Dutch turnover of €1.93 billion. In 2023, this rose to €2.26 billion, a growth of more than 17%. In addition, there was a nice increase in employee satisfaction of almost 10%, an achievement that says a lot about the organization's vibrant work culture and its commitment to growing talent. Equally important is the increase in satisfaction among clients, suppliers and independent professionals, with 31 points in the NPS.

CEO Marion van Happen: "We set ambitious goals for 2023, driven by our core values. I am immensely proud that we have not only met but exceeded these goals. This underlines our determination to not only meet expectations, but to rise above them. Our team's passion, drive and effort drive our performance. This makes us leaders in HR tech services in thought leadership, talent intelligence and innovation."

Van Happen continues: "In 2024, we will continue our existing strategy. We want to realize our vision of being technology agnostic for all our stakeholders, with our platforms Striive, ProUnity and OpenTalent at the center. By making smart use of automation and AI, we can further digitize the end-to-end process so that we can add our personal touch at the moments when it really adds value. Beyond our core business, we are taking the lead in moving toward a just, diverse and inclusive labor market. We are building an even more sustainable organization so that we can provide value to the society around us. Our ambition is to be the first HR tech company to become Bcorp certified this year."
