Recruitment and HR technology VC investment neared $5 billion in the second quarter of 2022, a WorkTech report shows. It puts 2022 on course to even or break the record-breaking year of 2021.

‘Already the second-largest year for work tech ever’

After raising a total of $9.37 billion over the first two quarters of the year, 2022 can already be considered the second-largest year ever in terms of VC investments. It’s nearly double the size of 2020, when only $5m of investments were made. Moreover, the deals that were made seemed to increase in size, the report notes.

“The pace of global work tech VC investment remains brisk in spite of the current global economic conditions.”

George LaRocque

“Eighteen deals with amounts of $100 million or more took place in Q2 alone”, said WorkTech founder George LaRocque. “Five deals reported valuations above $1 billion, however, valuations are reportedly shrinking given the overall climate for investment. The pace of global work tech VC investment remains brisk in spite of the current global economic conditions and a slowing of VC investment across other tech categories.”

HCM carries the load

As far as where those investments end up, HCM seems to be the dominant force. In total, the HCM sector amassed a total nearing $2.175 billion. Talent acquisition’s market share amassed $1.2 billion. Talent management $1.1 billion. And finally, work tech amassed around $0.175 billion.

3 new tech unicorns 

While valuations are no longer seeing unbridled growth, three work tech startups reached the Unicorn valuation level of $1 billion or more during Q2. Global HR Software provider Oyster, tech start-up Multiverse and healthcare talent marketplace Clipboard Health all surpassed the $1 billion valuation and subsequently earned the right to be considered unicorns.
