On February 25, 2020, leading Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) services provider WilsonHCG acquired Hong Kong-based human capital solutions provider Profile Search & Selection to bolster its presence in Asia Pacific, particularly China. The acquisition follows the increasing focus of global RPO providers on China, the world’s largest economy.
