Chief Product Officer Nowjobs

CPO at House of HR/Nowjobs?

House of HR? A leading HR service provider focused on Specialized Talent Solutions and Engineering & Consulting and a fast-growing multinational with a fierce entrepreneurial spirit operating through 10 PowerHouses, supported by digital brands and apps.

Nowjobs was founded in 2017 within the House of HR Group as a subsidiary of the 'PowerHouse' Accent, with the purpose of being a 100% digital temp agency. Since 2019, the company has been active in the Netherlands and as of 2021 also in France. In 2022, NOWJOBS started expanding to Germany, but they turned this decision around for the time-being because of prioritization needs. In 2023, NOWJOBS strengthened its presence in France after the merger with StaffMe.
