Odewald KMU acquires a majority stake in the High Office IT GmbH

Funds advised by Odewald KMU have acquired a majority stake in High Office IT GmbH (‘High Office’). High Office is one of the leading and fastest-growing providers of social recruiting services in the DACH region and specialises in recruiting blue-collar workers.

By acquiring High Office, Odewald KMU's funds are accessing a dynamically growing market that is characterised by a shortage of skilled workers, digital transformation and the usage behaviour of younger employees in particular. The aim is to establish High Office as the leading platform in the field of social recruiting in the DACH region and to consistently develop the company further by expanding its product, software and service portfolio, targeted internationalisation and strategic acquisitions.

The existing management team will retain its stake in the company and will play an active role in shaping the next phase of growth.

High Office differentiates itself from the competition with its comprehensive, technology- and AI-supported end-to-end solutions: the company covers the entire recruitment process, from employer branding and candidate acquisition and pre-selection to consulting and coaching. As a result of this positioning, High Office is one of the innovation leaders in its industry and is a strong platform for further organic and inorganic growth.

In the coming years, the company's profits are set to increase more than fivefold through technological development, scaling, internationalisation and consistent buy-and-build.
