NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TalentNeuron, a Leeds Equity portfolio company, today announced the acquisition of HRForecast, a Munich-based provider of strategic workforce planning and skills management software. The acquisition extends TalentNeuron’s strategic workforce planning capabilities beyond any solution in the market today.
The combined platform is the first to integrate internal workforce data and external labor information and insights across a unified data architecture, enabling customers to forecast, scenario plan, and solve for future talent, skill, and capacity gaps. This is an end-to-end solution—from planning future business scenarios and predicting future skills and jobs to building a skills-based workforce. HRForecast's advanced workforce planning software and internal talent marketplace module, combined with TalentNeuron's extensive global labor market data and analytics, will deliver the industry's most comprehensive software and associated dataset for strategic workforce planning.
“Our acquisition of HRForecast is a major step forward in our mission to revolutionize HR analytics. HRForecast’s Co-Founders, Florian Fleischmann and Christian Vetter, share our vision of how the integration of rich internal talent data and unparallelled external market labor data will deliver the future of enterprise workforce transformation,” said Julie Peck, CEO of TalentNeuron. “Our solutions build on each other's strengths, bringing together best-of-breed labor market intelligence, demand planning, scenario modeling, internal talent development, and strategic hiring analysis into one comprehensive workforce platform.”
Co-Founder Florian Fleischman added, “Incorporating HRForecast with TalentNeuron allows us to bring mission-critical solutions to a global marketplace. Together, we're not just expanding our reach, we're redefining what's possible in strategic workforce planning. We are thrilled with what this combination will mean for our current and future clients.”
“The acquisition of HRForecast immediately enhances TalentNeuron’s ability to provide predictive data-driven insights, expanding our capabilities to meet the rapidly evolving needs of modern business leaders particularly as they adapt to the resource challenges of automation and AI,” said Chris Mairs, Managing Director at Leeds Equity. “We welcome Florian, Christian, and the HRForecast team to the TalentNeuron family and look forward to innovating together for the benefit of our clients.”
Customers of both TalentNeuron and HRForecast will continue to receive uninterrupted service, with the added benefit of accessing new features and capabilities in the coming weeks and months. The combined entity will serve a significant global client base, including over 700 Global 2000 companies.
HRForecast will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of TalentNeuron LLC, with Fleischmann and Vetter joining TalentNeuron to help drive the company’s vision of strategic workforce planning across the globe.
