European leader in learning and HCM software, Talentsoft, has recently announced the conclusion of their $50 million funding round. The investment was led by Francisco Partners, with other contributors including previous investors Bpifrance and Goldman Sachs.

As part of today's announcement, Talentsoft CEO Jean-Stéphane Arcis also shared insight into the company's ambition in the European HR Tech market with a strategic focus on threekey priorities:  

  • Acceleration of the company's international development. 
  • Investment in HR data management and employee experience innovations. 
  • Pivot towards a platform open to external applications.      

$50 Million to Strengthen Position as the European Leader in HR Tech  

The total funding round announced by Talentsoft is $50 million and ranks among the ten largest funding rounds in Europe in 2018 for enterprise software. The entire investment will be used to accelerate the company's continued growth through innovation and international market expansion, reinforcing the company's position as the European leader in HR Tech.

Talentsoft's strategic direction is now based on three pillars:

  • Acceleration of the company's international development :Mastering talent management issues and best practices for international groups, the Talentsoft solution is now used in more than 130 countries and available in 27 languages. The company intends to capitalize on this expertise to support its large customers in their global deployments.
  • Innovation focused on HR data management and employee experience: As the first HR Tech Lab in Europe, Talentsoft will leverage hundreds of developers to transform the work experience of millions of employees, as well as to strengthen Talentsoft HUB, the company's core HR offer.
  • Pivot towards a platform open to external applications: Jean-Stéphane Arcis affirms the strategy to make Talentsoft the leading HR Marketplace in Europe. The company will thus pivot from a SaaS model to an iPaaS model (Integrated Platform as a Service). Technology partners will now have the opportunity to integrate new services on a continuous basis, in order to meet customers' expectations as closely as possible.

"This funding round marks a new phase in the history of Talentsoft, and we are proud to be backed by leading venture capital firms. Our existing partners, Bpifrance and Goldman Sachs, and new investor Francisco Partners, have shown strong confidence in what we are doing. We aim to go even further by becoming the first HR Tech platform in Europe withour new iPaaS program, which will make Talentsoft the number one destination for market innovations in HR," explains Jean-Stéphane Arcis, CEO of Talentsoft.         

The rise of a digital champion in Europe 

Talentsoft is a European success story: the company was co-founded in 2007 by three entrepreneurs (Jean-Stéphane Arcis, Alexandre Pachulski et Joël Bentolila) and has rapidly grown since - +33% in 2018. Today, the company employs 600 employees with customers in more than 130 countries in 27 languages. Revenues will reach $100M in a near future, a first for an Enterprise SaaS company in Europe.

Talentsoft is focused on optimizing the employee experience while taking into account the cultural, linguistic and regulatory specificities of HR management in Europe. As a result, Talentsoft represents a strong alternative for organizations for whom managing employee data is strategic.

Among Talentsoft's 2000 clients are large organizations, including EDF, Vinci, Lacoste, MaxMara, Toyota Europe, ST Microelectronics, Deutsche Bahn, Dorchester Collection hotels and National Bank of Belgium. These benchmark players trust Talentsoft to roll out its solution globally to support their HR transformation. Talentsoft's solution is based on five pillars: recruitment, performance and talent reviews, compensation, learning and core HR.

In 2018, Talentsoft received numerous recognitions: 

  • The company was awarded the Future Unicorn Trophy in March 2018 by Euronext and Roland Berger.
  • The company was also recognized as a 'Visionary' in Gartner's Magic Quadrant of Talent Management Software for the fifth year in a row and has been rewarded for a higher than average customer satisfaction compared to its competitors.
