New York, NY and Vienna – Radancy, the global talent technology leader, is expanding its unified platform with the agreement to acquire Austria-based Firstbird, the global leader in SaaS based employee referral programs. The planned acquisition of Firstbird expands Radancy's presence and commitment to the DACH market and complements its teams across Europe. Combined, the businesses can offer talent acquisition teams a unique recruiting solution, empowering them with a competitive advantage to attract and hire better talent faster in the global job market.
Michelle Abbey, President & CEO of Radancy, said: "In today’s employment market, employee referrals are more important than ever to find qualified talent, quickly. Now, we’re able to offer a significant addition to our unified platform that makes the process of referrals much more efficient. We can help our clients reach their recruitment goals and further extend our end-to-end solutions by ensuring we’re delivering all the essential touch points across the entire candidate journey."
Arnim Wahls, co-founder and CEO of Firstbird, said: "Firstbird has always aimed to help enterprises worldwide shape the future of their organisations by giving their employees a voice in the recruiting process.
