Staffing firm Accedo acquires Onforce to augment its Beeline service selection
The Adecco Group, a leading provider of Human Resources solutions, has made a significant move in the industry by acquiring OnForce, Inc., a company known for its freelancer management system (FMS) with cloud-based solutions for managing freelancers and independent contractors.
This acquisition enhances how companies manage their contingent workforce by integrating OnForce’s specialized technology and platform into Adecco’s broader workforce solutions.
Here's what this means for businesses:
- Streamlined Workforce Management: OnForce’s platform automates the sourcing, onboarding, compliance, and payment processes for freelance and independent contractor workers. With Adecco, companies gain access to these advanced capabilities within a global talent network, making it easier to coordinate contingent labor at scale.
- Improved Access to Skilled Freelancers: OnForce’s marketplace connects businesses with a vetted pool of skilled contractors across various industries. Under Adecco, this network expands, providing companies with a larger, more diverse talent pipeline for flexible workforce needs.
- Enhanced Compliance and Risk Management: Management of freelancers often involves complex compliance requirements around classification, tax, and labor laws. OnForce’s technologies help automate compliance checks and documentation. Combined with Adecco’s experience in staffing and workforce regulations, companies benefit from reduced legal and operational risks.
- Integrated Talent Solutions: With Adecco’s acquisition, companies can better integrate their freelance and contractor workforce management into their overall talent strategy, blending permanent, temporary, and contingent labor under a unified management system.
- Data and Analytics: The acquisition enables richer insights into on-demand workforce usage through better data aggregation and analytics tools, helping companies optimize cost, productivity, and resource allocation.
Patrick De Maeseneire, CEO of The Adecco Group, expressed his delight about the merger of OnForce and Beeline, stating that it will provide a unique integrated solution for companies to source talent through multiple channels. He also emphasized that the transaction will not have a material financial impact on the group.
