The collaboration brings both companies’ software solutions under one umbrella, providing companies with a full suite of advanced tools for automating HR tasks and amplifying the expertise of HR professionals. Going forward, customers will benefit from the expanded combined product offering, consisting of a leading talent acquisition platform and a comprehensive core HR platform, as well as the group’s significantly increased geographic reach.
The combined group will have over 4,000 customers across Europe and the USA, and a team of over 250 employees. Notable global brands such as Autobahn, Red Bull Media House, Innocent Drinks, Breitling, Oatly, BMW, Toyota, TNT, Dustin, and Byggmax, use the software today to acquire the best talent, hire more efficiently, nurture the development of their employees, and make smarter strategic decisions.
