STEM recruitment firm Hydrogen expands into Los Angles, California

9 September 2019

​Building on positive trading and significant expansion - with four new US locations launched in the last 16 months alone - this move further demonstrates Hydrogen’s commitment to provide business critical staffing solutions to core STEM markets. Initially the Life Sciences industry will be Hydrogen’s primary market in LA, built on existing increased customer demand within contingent contract markets.


Ian Temple, Hydrogen Group CEOcomments:


“Expanding our presence in North America has been a key focus of ours over the last 18 months and we’re delighted to announce further investment into our capabilities in the West Coast. Supporting our customers drives our business and building out this regional operation enables us to be closer and more connected to them.


​This move builds on a period of significant momentum for our Group and combined with our Minority Interest model, which allows select individuals the ability to maximize reward and share in the Group's success, we’re attracting and retaining top talent to work across our operations in North America.”


​Oliver Coughlan, Chief Operating Officer, USAadds:


“Having a presence in Los Angeles bolsters our capabilities in the West Coast, alongside our established San Diego operation. As a Group, we are excited by the opportunity in California, both economically and for our growing customer base we are committed to. As specialists in providing critical business talent to STEM markets, LA extends our reach and is a strong next step for us, with significant opportunities in Life Sciences and Technology sectors. We look forward to being closer to our customers and expanding our offering to more businesses here.”
