Talentech aims to become a leading European talent platform, offering cloud-based recruitment, onboarding and talent management software solutions. By integrating its solutions into one platform, Talentech is making attraction, recruitment, onboarding and retention of new employees easier and more efficient.
By adding new HR technology to the platform, customers get access to valuable and compatible solutions in their talent management work, while Talentech boosts technology development and the launch of new products to the benefit of customers. With the acquisition of Weekli, Talentech adds a leading solution to build proactive workplaces through continuous employee surveys.
“We are excited to welcome Weekli to the Talentech family. Weekli’s employee survey solution has been an important tool in enabling Talentech to become the company it is today. We have enjoyed the benefits of their data-driven and science-based approach, with continuous feedback from our team, as well as the opportunity to take actions when needed. Now, we look forward to offering this solution to existing and new customers as part of our HR technology platform,” says Hans Christian Haanes, CEO of Talentech.
Founded in 2017, Weekli has gained a leading position in the Swedish market in close partnership with Sodexo Benefits & Rewards Services. Today, the company’s solution provides feedback on important topics from thousands of employees every week. Weekli’s employee surveys are positioned at the core of customers’ talent management work, providing employees with the opportunity to speak their mind on a continuous and anonymous basis, and giving managers the opportunity to act on facts instead of assumptions.
“Weekli’s solution is essential for organisations targeting to build proactive and open workplaces. We are proud to have been part of the company’s journey and look forward to following Weekli on its next stage of growth as part of Talentech’s HR technology platform. Talentech is the perfect home for Weekli, and customers across Europe stand to benefit,” says Åsa Severgårdh, CEO/Managing Director, Sodexo Benefits & Rewards Services.
The parties have agreed not to disclose the terms of the investment.
