Why Invest in Gattaca?

Our business model

Connecting STEM employers with talent and outcomes

We help STEM employers solve their workforce challenges through tailored solutions, strategic consultancy, and technology-enabled services. Our approach combines deep market knowledge, skills expertise, and robust governance to deliver not just hires, but sustainable workforce outcomes.

Net Fee Income remains our primary measure of financial performance, representing the gross margin earned across all of our revenue streams. This includes:

Contract income: The margin generated on time worked by Independent and Employed Contractors over the duration of their assignments.

Permanent placement fees: One-time charges calculated as a percentage of a candidate’s starting salary.

Statement of Work (SOW) outsourcing: Margins earned from managing defined projects or deliverables where we take responsibility for outcomes, timelines, and quality standards.

Our strategic weighting towards contract and SOW engagements provides resilience and strong forward visibility, as these arrangements typically generate repeatable, predictable fees and foster long-term client relationships.
Economically, both contract placements and SOW projects deliver higher lifetime value and stronger profitability than traditional permanent placements, underpinning the stability and growth potential of our business model.

4 Pillars

Our Strategy

Focusing our efforts on four priority areas to fulfil our potential

We have identified four strategic priority areas to ensure the continued evolution of the Group’s strategy. With these focus areas in mind, there is a real opportunity to build on Gattaca’s many great strengths: the focus on in-demand STEM skills; its core strength in robust sectors; blue chip and long-standing client base; and the strength of the balance sheet.

Gattaca's four key strategic pillars are:

External focus

Over the last 5 years, Gattaca has built market-leading foundations within our technology stack, operating model, people structures and go-to-market brands.

This enables us to increase our external focus at all levels of the organisation, through key investments in marketing, sales and operations.

Culture

Culture was at the heart of how our founder, George Materna, turned a small start-up into a successful global recruitment business.

Intentionally creating a culture that drives the right behaviours will help us fulfil our Mission, reach our Vision and live our Purpose, but it will also, importantly, drive success for our customers.

Operational Performance

Our key focus with this priority is to simply make the most out of what we already have.

Through automating and optimising processes, focusing on key conversion rates, maximising the use of our technology stack and driving high performance from our people, we can make rapid progress against our goals.

Cost Optimisation

This priority is aimed at continuing our focus on cost optimisation over the short & medium term, to help deliver value to our shareholders whilst enabling key investments around the three pillars of our strategy; External Focus, Culture and Operational Performance.
