The investment round was led by YFM Equity Partners with participation from Mercia and Foresight Group.
"We’re proud of what we’ve achieved so far and are very grateful for the support of our clients and partners, but it feels like we’re just getting started."
The funding round was backed by Mercia, the MEIF Proof of Concept and Early Stage Fund, the Angel Co-Fund, and private investors.
"The world of work has never been more complex, so it is important that organisations make decisions based on accurate data. At HR Datahub our mission is to give them the analysis and the insights they need. The funding will enable us to add a new level of sophistication to the platform and roll it out to an even wider audience."
Playfair Capital led the seed round with participation from Entrepreneur First.
"The magnitude of the skills-gap crisis is astonishing. More than half of companies around the world cannot find the skills they are looking for. Many companies are responding by adopting a new operating model for workforces; one that sees skills as the fundamental building blocks of work. But up until now there was no coherent technology solution to support such a transition. Spotted Zebra changes that! We power skills-based organisations,"
The private equity firm backed Cezanne HR to implement a new growth plan and expand its market presence.
"NorthEdge have built an excellent reputation within the technology sector over the last five years so it was exciting for us to work with them on their most recent investment in Cezanne. I look forward to watching the business continue to grow and excel with this new partnership."
The Stoke-based company secured the capital from Mercia funds and private backers to develop its software and create new roles.
"With flexible working and the war for talent, the market for HRtech is expanding rapidly. Huler simplifies life for employees and enhances engagement and productivity. Nicky and Gareth have built an impressive client base and made inroads into the US market within their first year. The funding will help them drive further growth in the UK and internationally. It’s a pleasure to partner with Nicky, Gareth and the whole Huler team."
