Acquest's principals have been involved in building Human Capital Management (Staffing)
Companies ("HCM") since 1986. Beginning with the rapid build-ups of Swiss
Adia S.A., and British Hestair plc in the 1980's, we have been involved in the creation
and development of nine HCM companies that have reached national and/or international
prominence. All told, Acquest principals have been involved in more than 80 completed
HCM transactions in 14 countries on 5 continents.
Acquest itself has completed more than 45 HCM transactions for both buyers and sellers.
As such, we are an industry leader in Human Capital Management M&A.
We have been intimately involved in bringing the following companies to national/international
prominence:

15 of TMP's 19 eResourcing deals which created a $1.5 Bn staffing group in 18 months.
