That new offering will be in the form of The North Starr, as announced by Babb at the Recruiter Show at London’s Barbican in November.
Led by Harrington Starr co-founder Alex Odwell, The North Starr will focus on software development resources within the UK and Europe with a view to join its sister company in the US by 2018.
“There has been a major shift in the last couple of years with businesses looking for more modular, web-based technology solutions and this, coupled with an estimated 50bn devices to be connected by 2020, means now is a great time for us to enter the digital and software development markets,” Odwell told Recruiter.
Babb says the multi-brand strategy will see the Harrington Starr group expand into several new markets and geographies in 2016 and beyond with headcount set to grow significantly in the coming months.
