Acquisition Strengthens and Expands Talent Management Offerings for SMBs

Hopkinton, Mass. — April 2, 2019 — PrismHR, the leading HR software platform for human resource outsourcing (HRO) service providers, today announced it has acquired AgileHR, a leading provider of cloud-based talent management software.

In January, PrismHR announced that AgileHR’s performance management solution was integrated with its HR platform and made available through the PrismHR Marketplace. With today’s announcement, PrismHR has acquired AgileHR and its full suite of talent management solutions. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“Our HRO customers consistently report that talent acquisition and performance management are key challenges for their small business clients,” said Gary Noke, president and CEO of PrismHR. “We’re excited to add the full suite of AgileHR solutions to the PrismHR platform and remain committed to offering our customers the ability to choose from a wide range of talent management solutions available from both PrismHR and our Marketplace partners.”

According to PrismHR’s 2019 HRO Trends Report, 51% of SMBs cite hiring qualified employees is a significant business challenge, and 56% of HROs see the issue as a top challenge for their SMB clients.

The acquisition of AgileHR and addition of its talent management solutions to PrismHR’s portfolio of HR software products demonstrates the company’s commitment to providing its HRO customers with a wide range of best-of-breed solutions for their SMB clients.
