Jobvite, the leading end-to-end talent acquisition solution provider, today announced it is joining forces with JazzHR, the leading recruiting software provider for small and medium-sized businesses, and NXTThing RPO, a high-growth recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) company. Backed by K1 Investment Management, the transaction combines three complementary companies to form the most comprehensive provider of talent acquisition and recruiting solutions for organizations of all sizes, spanning from SMBs to global enterprises.
JazzHR’s Pete Lamson will serve as CEO and will lead the next phase of growth for the company. Aman Brar will continue to provide strategic direction to the organization by joining the Board of Directors.
“Through our combined businesses, we are unparalleled in markets we cover, with purpose-built and data-driven solutions ranging from SMB to enterprise. We are the only talent acquisition provider to offer discrete SMB and enterprise grade technology solutions, and couple both with industry-leading recruitment services,” said Lamson. “Whatever the customer size, budget, technology, or service level required, Jobvite, JazzHR, and NXTThing RPO have the solutions our markets need.”
As the only organization of its scale focused exclusively on recruiting and talent acquisition, the company is uniquely positioned to disrupt the talent acquisition landscape. Combined, the company serves more than 10,000 employer customers and operates a network of more than 1,000 partners to host 485,000 open jobs, attract 11 million job seekers per month, and manage greater than 188 million candidates.

NXTThing RPO now has the unique ability to bring game changing technology to the RPO relationship,” said Terry Terhark, Founder and CEO of NXTThing RPO. “Bringing a complete suite of technology solutions and recruitment services together for companies of all sizes is game changing for talent acquisition teams.”
