Modis Rebrands Globally to Provide Expanded Professional Staffing Solutions and Vertical Industry ServicesJACKSONVILLE, Fla., July 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Driven by an increased demand for more customized professional staffing solutions, global and consulting services, Modis has evolved its business model and globally rebranded to become the world's leading provider of consulting, outsourcing, staffing and project services across information technology, engineering and life sciences. Today Modis officially revealed its new modernized branding and expanded services to the US market. At the helm of this transformation is the company's unique US leadership structure, consisting of co-presidents Trent Beekman and Ger Doyle, who are working together on distinct focus areas to create a different kind of specialty staffing and consultancy organization. The company has designed a segmentation strategy to deliver customized solutions to both large national and multi-national companies and mid-sized, regional organizations. For large and global companies, Modis' Enterprise division provides tailored solutions beyond what a typical staffing partner can offer, matching the breadth and speed-to-market of today's dynamic corporations. As part of this focus on Enterprise clients, Modis is also rolling out new outsourcing and managed services, leveraging innovation backed by its parent, the Adecco Group. For mid-sized or regional organizations, Modis' Recruitment division offers flexible, boutique support through localized execution to source niche, in-demand talent. Both the Enterprise and Recruitment divisions will be further segmented to focus on specific industries, with subject matter experts leading each vertical. "The workforce needs of global organizations and those of regional, mid-sized companies are very different," explains Ger Doyle, President of Enterprise Solutions, Modis. "That's why we're approaching them with distinct delivery models. Our segmentation strategy allows us the flexibility and focus to be a full-service provider to clients across industries, scale and need." Modis works with companies in the Medical Device and Pharmaceutical, Energy, Technology, Consumer Products, Automotive, Finance & Insurance, Government and Manufacturing industries. "With historically low unmployment and an increasingly high demand for professionals with niche expertise, especially in STEM fields, the challenge to find essential talent will only grow," continued Trent Beekman, President of Recruitment Solutions, Modis. "Our evolved business model and this rebrand will strengthen our ability to connect skilled candidates with top employers." STEM IQ Survey Modis also today released the results of its new STEM IQ survey, which unveils insights into the public's knowledge and perceptions of STEM careers. The survey shows that even as they acknowledge the financial benefits of STEM jobs, Americans are not readily pursuing those fields, with only 35 percent saying they intend to pursue a STEM career. Factors keeping people from pursuing STEM jobs are that they did not learn the right skills in school (17 percent) or that they do not have the financial means to go back to school or "start over" in STEM (25 percent). Fifteen percent also say they do not know where to look for a STEM job. "STEM fields play a vital role in our labor market and will be even more important as the world of work becomes increasingly technical," said Beekman. "By understanding how people perceive opportunities in STEM, we can better attract, prepare and pipeline to meet the growing demand." More than half of survey respondents (51 percent) are moderately to extremely interested in a career in a STEM field. Almost a quarter (23 percent) of these cite high pay and the opportunity to make a difference in the world as the most appealing factor for having a career in a STEM field. Other survey highlights include:
