AI reaches 27,000 employees

According to Adecco Group on September 15, 2026, the company began rolling out Salesforce Agentforce Coworker across 40 plus countries. The system is being deployed to 27,000 employees and builds on agentic artificial intelligence already used in recruitment workflows in 10 countries.

The company said those 10 countries represented 50 percent of Adecco business revenues at the time of the announcement. The rollout also draws on more than 2.5 million agent-candidate interactions since April 2025, connecting the technology strategy with a measurable operating base.

Scale supports the strategy

Adecco says its three global brands, Adecco, Akkodis and LHH, operate in 60 plus countries and support over 100,000 clients, according to the group's investor relations overview. The same page sets a through-cycle EBITA margin ambition of 3 percent to 6 percent and describes a 40 percent to 50 percent adjusted-EPS payout ratio.
