HireHive merger marks ISH’s accelerated expansion into Irish market and comes just weeks after UK SaaS firm bought HRLocker.
UK SaaS portfolio player ISH has expanded its push into the Irish market with the merger of recently acquired Clare firm HRLocker with Cork-based HireHive.
ISH said the merger represents a major strategic step in consolidating its portfolio offering as an end-to-end HR and recruitment platform.
“We’re confident the shared success of both businesses will fuel us as we empower organisations to attract, manage, and develop talent”
It said that joining HRLocker and HireHive together will provide its 3,000+ customers with a single solution to manage and oversee the employee journey from beginning to end.
A Swiss army knife for talent management
“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,” said Adam Reynolds, co-founder and managing partner of ISH.
“We’re confident the shared success of both businesses will fuel us as we empower organisations to attract, manage, and develop talent.”
With a broad suite of HRIS functionalities, including performance management, ATS, and time tracking, Mayo-based HRLocker simplifies workforce management for growing businesses.
Cork-based HireHive has built a user-friendly applicant tracking system. It enables companies to post jobs, manage applications, and collaborate with hiring teams efficiently.
HRLocker CEO Crystel Robbins Rynne expressed her enthusiasm about the merger. “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 family. 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.”
HireHive’s interim CEO Joe Winthrop shared Rynne’s sentiment. “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.”
