Consolidation is one of the biggest trends among HR technology vendors….Last month the recruiting world learned that Jobvite would be acquiring both JazzHR and Nextthing RPO to form a super vendor, having already acquired Talemetry, Rolepoint and Canvas. They now form “the most comprehensive provider of talent acquisition and recruiting solutions for organizations of all sizes, spanning from SMBs to global enterprises.”
Joining me now to discuss the merger and give us an update is Pete Lamsom, Pete was the CEO for JazzHR and now heads up the combined entity.
