Co Clare-based human resources software developer HRLocker has today announced a merger deal with Cork-based recruitment platform HireHive.
The news comes just weeks after HRLocker was bought by UK-based ISH.
Founded in 2013, HRLocker serves over 860 small and medium-sized businesses, mainly in Ireland and the UK.
It offers a suite of tools to manage workforces and offers solutions from employee records and time tracking to performance evaluations and absence management.
HireHive enables companies to post jobs, manage applications, and collaborate with hiring teams efficiently and it will become a HRLocker Group company after today's deal.
HRLocker CEO Crystel Robbins Rynne said that HireHive's powerful hiring functionality was the missing piece in the HRLocker puzzle.
"As businesses, we already shared a vision of empowering SMEs with innovative HR and recruitment solutions. We're thrilled to welcome the HireHive team to the HRLocker familym" she said.
"As Ireland’s largest home-grown HRIS we are committed to developing cutting-edge solutions to our customers, now with more seamless integration between talent and employee management," she added.
HireHive's interim CEO Joe Winthrop said that joining HRLocker is an exciting opportunity.
"Our merger reflects the market appetite for integrated recruitment and talent management solutions. We'll work closely to offer a complete solution that allows organisations to manage the entire lifecycle, from application to onboarding and the ongoing employee journey," he added.
Adam Reynolds, co-founder and managing partner of ISH, said the merger between HRLocker and HireHive means customers can expect an enriched platform with new features, improved user experience, and a continuation of the unmatched customer experience for which both companies have become so well known.
"We're confident the shared success of both businesses will fuel us as we empower organisations to attract, manage, and develop talent," he added.
