What Outsourcing Inc does

Brexa International, formerly known as Outsourcing Inc and now part of Brexa Holdings Inc, is a global staffing and recruitment group acquired by Bain Capital in 2024. The company operates as a holding platform for more than 40 subsidiary brands—including OTTO Workforce, CPL Group, Orizon, Grupo Expro, Bluefin Resources, HOBAN, CDER Group, Liberata, and Advantis—delivering staffing, recruitment, HR services, BPO outsourcing, and debt management across Europe, Latin America, and Oceania. With €3 billion in revenue and approximately 65,000 employees operating from hundreds of office locations in 20+ countries, the group serves enterprise employers, government and public sector bodies, healthcare providers, and mid-market businesses across verticals such as healthcare, IT, engineering, construction, mining, pharmaceuticals, energy, and finance.

The underlying business is operationally service-driven rather than technology-driven: each subsidiary brand maintains its own specialist recruitment, temporary staffing, managed services, and outsourcing capabilities, with localized sales teams and client relationships. Technology use is concentrated in supporting operations—CDER Group cites "tech-enhanced processes and decision intelligence" and Liberata emphasizes digitisation and automation—but no proprietary AI/ML platform or differentiated technology stack is disclosed. Revenue is generated primarily through professional services fees (temporary/contract/permanent placement margins) and managed services contracts (BPO outsourcing), supplemented by debt collection and enforcement fees in the UK. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with go-to-market executed via direct enterprise and public-sector field sales through each subsidiary's independent sales infrastructure, rather than a unified platform or marketplace model.

The business is owned by Bain Capital and led by CEO Dolph Westerbos, who has previously led organizations up to $6.5 billion in revenue across 70+ countries and completed three PE-backed exits. Since the 2024 acquisition, the group has built out a new executive bench—including a CFO from Bain Capital's PE team, a Chief Acceleration Officer from BCG, a General Counsel from Ferguson plc/Ontario Teachers', and senior finance, treasury, internal audit, and controllership hires—indicating PE-style professionalization of the back office.
