JobTeaser acquisition of Graduateland expands young talent recruitment in Europe

JobTeaser has acquired its Nordic counterpart Graduateland, allowing the French HR tech scale-up to secure a key position in the Nordic countries.

A company statement from JobTeaser said the acquisition was part of its European expansion strategy and its ambition to offer the largest pool of young talent across Europe. This union will also allow the development of new features and services on its platform thanks to Graduateland’s expertise and technology. 

Active in 25 countries, the tech scale-up is consolidating its position in the guidance and recruitment of young talent through the acquisition of Graduateland. The Danish start-up is a major career network in the Nordics, with over 1m students across Europe and 50,000 active recruiters. “This union allows JobTeaser to establish itself in Northern Europe, a highly strategic market given the reputation of the Nordic universities and the attraction of international companies for their students,” JobTeaser’s statement said.

The joining of forces represents a unique opportunity for both companies to continue their expansion, not only in the Nordic countries, but also in other European markets, both firms said: “The ambition is twofold: on the one hand, to offer the largest pool of young talent on a European scale to companies and recruiters, and on the other hand, to open the doors of Europe to students and young graduates through the career services of partner universities.”

The acquisition will also create new career and mobility opportunities for the 400 employees of both entities. The new internal projects resulting from the transaction represent a learning opportunity for existing employees who will be able to broaden their skills and take advantage of internal mobility by changing jobs or teams, or both. At the same time, JobTeaser is recruiting new talent, with currently over 150 open positions across Europe.

JobTeaser was helped in the acquisition process by Leuwen as financial adviser.
