Qgroup forms new recruitment firm

<h3>Qlose is the new name of the recruitment firm that demonstrates Qgroup’s vision to spark 
innovation in the industry.</h3>
Qgroup&#8217;s business concept is to individually select the best IT consultants in the industry, which the partly owned recruitment company Onyx has worked with on behalf of the group.
Now Onyx is being merged with the recruitment company 6Degrees, which has also distinguished itself as an innovator in the IT and tech segment. Together they create a recruitment business under a new common name &#8211; Qlose.
Qlose will invest in recruitment, consultant recruitment and consultancy for the IT industry and at the same time create a completely new platform for its candidates. The way of working is characterized by a mindset that has similarities with an agency that works actively for its candidates throughout their careers.
Martin Trikson, CEO at Qlose: 
&#8220;Qlose moves away from traditional recruitment where a certain position must be filled against a static requirement specification. The job market has already shown completely different structures and we see more and more people looking for more than one job. The days when the employer is the only one who can make all the demands are gone. We meet this trend at Qlose by acting more as long-term partners and advisors to both companies, freelancers and candidates, rather than acting as selection machines and traditional recruitment consultants.&#8221;
 Jon Carvell, CEO Qgroup: 
&#8220;We have always wanted to challenge traditional ways of working, and Qlose is a great example of that. We have now created an agency that demonstrates that it is possible to handle recruitment in completely new ways and that appeals to today&#8217;s candidates and their work philosophy. Qlose will contribute to Qgroup&#8217;s future success as a modern IT consultancy that always looks ahead. It will also complement Qgroup&#8217;s overall offering.”
Qlose is partly owned by Qgroup (51%). Recruitment is carried out on a global level, both for Qgroup&#8217;s subsidiaries and for external customers.

Qgroup invests in IT consultant CoreChange

<h3>Following the transaction, Qgroup owns 25 percent of the shares in the parent company CoreChange Group AB.</h3>
CoreChange was founded in 2013 and is a fast-growing IT consulting company with operations in Stockholm and Gothenburg. In 2021, the company had sales of approximately SEK 160 million and more than 100 employees. The business concept is to drive their customers&#8217; digital journey of change &#8211; from strategy to implementation and realization. The basic offer includes consulting services, primarily in business systems and e-commerce for customers in both the private and public sectors.
The investment in CoreChange means that Qgroup buys 25 percent of the parent company&#8217;s shares. The transaction takes place through a new share issue, which at the same time ensures the CoreChange Group&#8217;s continued expansion going forward.
Jon Carvell, CEO of Qgroup: 
“Investing in CoreChange is just right for us &#8211; now we are adding a well-run and fast-growing company to our group. The deal also means that we are entering the business systems (SAP) segment for the first time. This opens up a new arena for us to grow in, and we are very much looking forward to further developing the company together with the existing management. ”
Robert Åberg, CEO of CoreChange: 
“We have methodically built up our company over a ten-year period and are now ready to shift up further. The addition in the form of capital and expertise from Qgroup means that CoreChange can continue its growth journey and, at the same time, gain access to a strong customer portfolio. The cultural similarities are striking, and it is well in line with our partnership strategy to work together with like-minded people in the industry. We look forward to a fun and successful journey together.”
Mikael Kretz, co-founder of Qgroup, will in the future be part of CoreChange Group&#8217;s board.
