IT recruiter Steria has won a three-year, managed recruitment services contract with Getronics UK, the ICT services company owned by Dutch Telecom company KPN.

Steria Recruitment is charged with delivering all UK contractor resources and permanent hires, and is supported by the SJB Group, which delivers all senior permanent hires.

The contract, estimated to be worth £25m over three years, will see Steria supply a single managed source for its contractor, temporary and permanent staffing needs.

Peter Holliday, managing director of Steria Recruitment, says: “The economic climate is creating increased demand for innovation in recruitment outsourcing, with particular emphasis on certainty of cost and delivery. The Steria Recruitment managed model focuses on delivering to our clients’ overall business objectives, both medium and long term.”
