CANDIDATE.ID, the Glasgow-based recruitment technology specialist, has been acquired by New Jersey company iCIMS.
The deal comes five years after the Scottish firm, which has developed marketing automation software to aid recruiters, was formed by Adam Gordon and Scot McRae. Its investors included Blackfinch Ventures, Crowdcube and several industry experts.
iCIMS, a “talent cloud company”, operates from offices in New Jersey, New York, Denver, Dublin, Madrid, Milan, Paris and London.
Mr Gordon said: “When we started Candidate.ID five years ago, we were on a mission to solve real recruitment challenges with marketing automation software. Our marketing workflows automatically adapt with every candidate click to deliver unique, personalised experiences, while generating data which enables recruiters to be more productive. With iCIMS, our shared vision will enable us to accelerate the adoption of marketing automation technology, for the benefit of recruiters, candidates and hiring managers around the world.”
Steve Lucas, chief executive of iCIMS, said: “From my time leading Marketo, I know first-hand the transformational power of marketing automation. We’re the first company to bring that power at scale to the world of recruiting with Candidate.ID.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
