Amsterdam-listed temporary recruitment and HR firm USG People has reduced the size of its executive board from four to two members.
Thu, 24 Oct 2013Amsterdam-listed temporary recruitment and HR firm USG People has reduced the size of its executive board from four to two members.

The company says this follows a “strategic redesign announced in 2011”, which “has considerably reduced the size and complexity of the company over the past few years”.

From 1 November, the board will consist of chief executive officer Rob Zandbergen and chief finance officer Leen Geirnaerdt.

Leaving the board are chief corporate officer Albert Jan Jongsma and chief operational officer Eric de Jong.

De Jong’s responsibilities will be taken over by CEO Zandbergen, with De Jong resigning from his role on 1 December but remaining a special adviser to the executive board until at least the end of next year [2014].

CFO Geirnaerdt will take over the responsibilities of Jongsma, who leaves the company on 1 December.

USG People also states it “has downsized the corporate organisation and will also introduce a more decentralised management system”.

The firm, which is active in eight countries across Europe, started rolling out new professional recruitment brands earlier this year, after selling part of its general staffing assets to Randstad. It also acquired a majority stake in recruitment communications firm Adver-Online in May.
