IT recruitment agency ConSol Partners is due to open in Los Angeles, its third base alongside its London headquarters and Dubai base.

The firm plans to open its doors in December, with the operation headed by co-founder Marc Cohen, working from Santa Monica, California.

Cohen previously spent six years in LA recruiting for digital media clients at NP Group, and says: “Since ConSol was founded, establishing an office in LA has always been part of our strategy. California is a real hub for cutting-edge technology companies, and we’re committed to hiring local staff and partnering with pioneering start-ups and regional multinational offices.”

Graeme Hubert, also a co-founder at the firm, adds: “The US is home to many of our key customers. We’ve assisted them with EMEA expansion, and now it’s time to support them locally.”
