Adecco Favors Florida's Business Climate

When Adecco made the decision to move our North American headquarters, we knew that Jacksonville was the right fit for our organization. As the leader in workforce solutions, we have a unique understanding of cities across the United States, and the economic growth taking place on a local level appealed to us greatly. We look forward to building our presence in Jacksonville and appreciate the efforts of Governor Scott and the economic development officials that made this move a reality.

Adecco Group is the world’s leading provider of human relations solutions. In 2015, the company chose to relocate its North American corporate headquarters from New York to Jacksonville.

Adecco is a partner for Fortune 500 companies and a career advisement expert for American workers, serving many key industries and professions. Adecco has hundreds of career centers and connects tens of thousands of talented workers to the best job opportunities across the country daily.

The relocation will bring 185 jobs and a capital investment of $3.4 million to Florida’s Northeast region. Adecco’s facility houses positions across a number of departments, including marketing, finance and real estate operations.

Florida’s favorable business climate, coupled with its exceptional quality of life and Jacksonville’s economic growth factored heavily in to the company’s decision to relocate.
