LOHNE, Germany and PARIS, April 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — zvoove, the leading provider of digitalisation solutions for the temporary staffing and cleaning services industries in Europe, has announced its acquisition of DirectSkills, a leading provider of External Workforce Management solutions for the French temporary staffing industry. This marks zvoove’s first strategic acquisition in France, solidifying its position as the dominant force in the temporary staffing industry across Europe.
zvoove has established itself as the leader in the temp staffing markets in Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Austria, offering unparalleled SaaS and AI-based digitalisation solutions and services to their clients: temporary staffing agencies and corporate customers. With the acquisition of DirectSkills, zvoove is extending its reach into the French market, showcasing its commitment to providing comprehensive staffing solutions throughout Europe.
CEO of zvoove, Oliver Muhr, commented on the acquisition, stating, “We are thrilled to welcome DirectSkills to zvoove. This strategic move aligns with our vision of expanding our presence in key European markets. DirectSkills brings invaluable expertise, boasting an unrivalled market presence in France by connecting with 99% of all French temporary employment agencies and facilitating over €3bn invoice volume on its platform. With DirectSkills’ credentials and our shared commitment to digitising the temp staffing industry, we are poised to deliver even greater value to our clients and drive innovation across the temp staffing ecosystem.”

With their solutions, DirectSkills’ customers – including Auchan, Daher, Eiffage, GEODIS, and STEF, some of Europe’s most prestigious companies – manage around 300,000 temporary workers annually and process approximately €2 billion in payroll through DirectSkills’ platform.
