DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE^[1])–UK-based Frank Recruitment Group has chosen Dallas as the location of
its next US office, making the 24^th floor of Ross Tower in
Downtown their new home.

The niche technology recruitment specialists will initially recruit
100 people in the Dallas area^[2], with a goal of rising to over 300
employees in just a few years.

The Dallas office, which officially launches on June 5^th,
will primarily focus on Frank Recruitment Group’s signature brand, Nigel
Frank International^[3], a recognized global leader in Microsoft
technology recruitment. The team will be headed up by NFI Executive Vice
President Paul Briggs and Vice President Paden Simmons.

“We’re thrilled to be building an exciting and dynamic team here in
Dallas,” said Briggs. “As the global leader in Microsoft recruitment, we
are looking forward to training and working with the best local talent
and supplying skilled Microsoft Dynamics and Stack professionals to
employers both in America and abroad.”

Texas is a booming hub of technology innovation, with over a half
million workers in the thriving tech sector, the second most in the
country, and Dallas has the largest share, making it an easy choice for
Frank Recruitment Group.

The city has grabbed media attention in recent years and is widely
regarded as one of the country’s best
tech cities in which to work^[4]. Its tech attraction and low median
real estate purchase price ($197K) translate into one of the country’s
highest job growth rates (4.1%).

“Dallas has a huge group of talented, hard-working and highly motivated
people,” Simmons said. “Many college graduates and young professionals
are starting their careers and moving here and, everywhere you look,
businesses are growing or relocating to Texas. It’s a really exciting
time to be working in Dallas right now.”

Founded in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, in 2007, Frank Recruitment
Group has a unique service model that divides its business into six core
brands that are each dedicated to a single product, such as Microsoft
Dynamics, Salesforce, NetSuite and AWS.

The opening of the Dallas office builds on a period of significant
momentum for Frank Recruitment Group. In April of this year, Frank
Recruitment Group was named one of Europe’s
fastest-growing companies^[5] by the Financial Times and was also
recognized as one of the UK’s top 100 private companies with the fastest-growing
profits^[6] over the last three years. In 2016, TPG Growth, the middle
market and growth equity platform of alternative asset firm TPG,
invested in the company. TPG is dual-headquartered in San Francisco and
Fort Worth.

“At TPG Growth, we look to identify and invest in disruptive models that
challenge, enhance, and transform industries,” said Shamik Patel,
Principal at TPG Growth. “The demand for specialized technology experts
continues to grow, creating a need for an efficient and scalable
approach to placing the best people in the right jobs. We look forward
to continuing the company’s growth in Dallas and beyond.”

Since 2016, Frank Recruitment Group has invested significantly, seeing
global employee headcount grow from 254 in 2013 to over 1,400 today,
opening new offices in Newcastle upon Tyne, Berlin, Philadelphia and
Dallas, and launching two new brands: NetSuite specialists Anderson
Frank and Java specialists Pearson Frank.
