Thu, 22 Aug 2013Glocomms, the new telco brand of recruitment group Phaidon International, continues its global expansion as it looks to break into the German market from its UK base, with plans to open an office in Munich.

Glocomms was launched last month by director Andrew Crouch, a new joiner from leading telco recruiter Penta Consulting.

A spokesperson for Phaidon International tells recruiter.co.uk that the company is “hoping to open our office in Munich within the next 18 months”.

The company has taken on recent University of Oxford graduate and German native speaker Senem Boyaci as a consultant covering the DACH [Germany, Austria and Switzerland] region, who will work alongside four existing consultants working on the German-speaking market.

Phaidon’s expansion has also recently taken group brands to Hong Kong and Zurich.
