As part of the Robert Walters Group – a world-leading specialist professional recruitment consultancy, our business has considerable resources at its disposal. With a global footprint across 29 countries, we`re able to work in close partnership with organisations and manage everything from global accounts with demanding resourcing strategies to single sites with lower recruitment volumes. We currently source and recruit for clients in over 60 countries, manage a recruitment budget of over £2 billion and hire tens of thousands of employees each year. We`re in a strong position in the market, and aim to build on that further still – developing quality solutions and driving service improvement, innovation and value in order to continuously exceed client expectations.
Gruppo Marcucci, a division of Gallagher Benefit Services, Inc. specializes in the HR and Benefits Administration technology and outsourcing industry. Our in-depth understanding of the service provider market coupled with years of experience sourcing and implementing solutions is key to our clients achieving full operational success. While we serve our clients by navigating traditional benefits and HR technology issues, we also actively monitor the market for potential disruptions—advising clients on solutions before disruptions become problems. Through comprehensive industry research and thought leadership, we deliver unique value to clients by synthesizing data into actionable information. While we’re great at the big picture, we will stick around to implement strategy. We work side-by-side with our clients to make sure our solutions deliver the envisioned success. When an employer is ready to bring in a new outsource partner—or wishes to improve relationships with current outsource partners—GPM is there to help assess options, identify and mitigate risk, and evaluate providers. The service provider-client relationship not living up to expectations? We can mediate a solution to help ensure all parties work to support a long-term, productive relationship. Founded in 2005, Gruppo Marucci focuses on consultation for employer groups from 2 to 25,000+ lives. We work with employers, multiple employer trusts, benefits broker/consultants, outsourcing providers, insurance carriers and the investment community. We maintain intelligence on 600+ service providers, and never accept fees for product placement or endorsement. We take pride in our professional independence which frees us to assess a company’s services and identify a variety of solutions based on objectives, management philosophy and budget.
