HeadFirst Group has acquired award-winning Belgian HR-tech company ProUnity. This marks an important step for HeadFirst as it triples its existing business in Belgium.

ProUnity operates in Belgium as a managed service provider (MSP) with its own marketplace and vendor management system (VMS). This combination helps organisations find and manage external staff via a single platform.

ProUnity’s addition to HeadFirst Group broadens its HR-tech portfolio, which consists of its hiring platform Select and collaborations with external VMS partners. The main HeadFirst Group brands are MSP service provider Staffing Management Services, RPO and recruitment specialist Sterksen, and intermediaries HeadFirst and Between. ProUnity will retain its name and management team.

"ProUnity is an innovative tech company, a digital native platform organisation, with a sense of personal approach. HeadFirst Group was originally an HR service provider and is now making the switch to a platform organisation. A balance between tech and touch is essential in our industry and ProUnity will accelerate this,” Marion van Happen, CEO at HeadFirst Group, said. 

“This step with HeadFirst Group comes at the right time for our team, clients, and partners. We make each other stronger and will continue to blossom, as people and as organisations, with respect for everyone's identity,” David Muyldermans, CEO at ProUnity, added. 

ProUnity serves over forty clients, mostly large profit companies and Belgian organisations in the public domain. HeadFirst Group already has a Belgian office since 2016. With the addition of ProUnity, it triples its existing business in Belgium.
