Why are we different? We believe we work in a different way from others in the recruitment sector. Working from offices across four continents, we operate as one business, with one brand, joining up our regions and practices and sharing candidate and client information through a central IT hub. Whilst many specialist recruiters are location focused, we believe the best way to support our clients and candidates is to base our offering around our global practices. It is through our leading-edge technology and joined-up processes within these practices that our consultants are able to operate globally, finding the right candidates for specialist roles, regardless of location. The investment story Hydrogen was established in 2005 when two of the UK’s most innovative and fastest growing recruitment companies - Partners Group Ltd and PRO Ltd - merged. Hydrogen’s shares were admitted to trading on the Alternative Investment Market on 29 September 2006. The original Admission document can be found here. Between 2008 and 2012 we pursued our vision to transform Hydrogen from a UK-centric professional services recruiter to a global multi-practice recruitment group. We delivered on that vision, launching new practices in the oil and gas and life sciences areas and growing the group to six international offices by the end of 2012. Our strategy for the period to 2016 is to build on that investment and grow value over the longer term by: Growing the international business so that it generates at least 65% of total Net Fee Income (“NFI”) Increasing NFI from newer practices so that the Technical and Scientific segment makes up at least 50% of total NFI Balancing permanent and contract recruitment In the period since admission to AIM, Hydrogen has maintained a steady record of dividend payments, with increases in each of the last three years.
