Roadmap
Recruitment Tech asked Textkernel what the acquisition means for their customers. Gerard Mulder, CEO at Textkernel: “Nothing changes for our customers in the short term. In the longer term, it will have positive effects, because we will be able to fully focus on our customers and our own roadmap again.”
International expansion
What does it mean for the long term? “There is an ambitious plan for the next 5 years. We are looking forward to realize this plan and through the acquisition we have more resources to make it happen. Our international expansion will be unabated and we hope to actively expand to the ASIA/Pacific region in 2022. We already have customers there, but want to become more active in that market from 2022 onwards.”
Strong potential
Pieter van Bodegraven, Partner at Main Capital Partners: “Strong potential is visible in this particular part of the HR software market. We have known the management team of Textkernel for many years and are pleased with the opportunity to collaborate.
