Professional Services
The Global Professional Services practice is one of the highest performing within the search market in Europe. Keeping pace with this hugely dynamic market is core to our business success. For instance the growth of outsourcing, first generated by IT infrastructures, now involves more and more business functions with fierce competition coming from integrators, consultants and business process outsourcers. Harvey Nash’s position as the global provider of talent to these organisations ensures that our consultants are at the forefront of change, interpreting and translating business change into talent management and leadership attraction and retention services to support our clients across this space.
With Worldwide end-user spending on IT services forecast to grow at a 6.4% compound annual growth rate through 2010 to reach $855.6 billion, according to Gartner, and with positive growth in nearly all market segments, service-oriented architecture, web services and web 2.0 technologies permeate many IT professional services engagements today. They will be included in solutions supporting nearly 22% of all IT professional services revenue worldwide by 2010. No wonder then that the business consulting market is also growing as organisations try to keep pace with the relentless speed of change. No wonder also that "pure play" service providers are finding it increasingly difficult to maintain their advantage over software and technology providers that can bundle consulting with other products and services. With the top consultancy firms having entered into alliances with various companies across industries to extend their technology and business capabilities the outlook for the sector remains highly competitive.
Whilst in the near term, financial market disruption, demographic shifts and technology-induced changes in consumer behaviour will undoubtedly influence the market many vendors are continuing to face challenges in finding qualified talent as companies across the world invest to create efficient organisations.
Our dedicated team of consultants is drawn from both the Professional Services and Search Industry, and works closely with our other global industry practices such as Financial Services, Retail, Consumer, Industry and Manufacturing as well our global CIO and CFO Practices.
Our unique ability to focus on the professional services sector within specific industries means we are able to attract outstanding leaders with the experience, credibility and domain expertise required to make a significant difference.
