RSM UK successfully helped LDC-backed Talos360, one of the UK’s fastest growing HR software businesses, acquire performance management platform Appraisd.

The client

Cheshire-based Talos360 helps more than 800 businesses attract, recruit and retain talent through its applicant tracking software and talent technology. Established in 2009, Talos360 received investment from LDC in 2022 and has now become one of the UK’s fastest growing HR software platforms.

Founded in 2012, Appraisd is an award-winning performance management business, empowering over 65,000 employees in more than 65 countries. Created as an employee-first solution, Appraisd promotes talent development, organisational alignment and employee success.

Our solution

RSM’s North West deal team managed the acquisition, led by James Wild and Austin Halewood.

With the successful acquisition of Appraisd, Talos360’s strategic growth plans in the human capital management market can accelerate, helping facilitate a fully integrated talent suite that covers the entire employee lifecycle, from hiring to retiring. The deal also opens different geographies for Talos360, such as the USA, UAE, Australia and Canada, while deepening its presence in Europe.

Testimonial

“I couldn’t be happier we chose RSM as our partner for our recent acquisition. Working with them was like working with an extended part of our team, and we simply wouldn’t have achieved the highly successful outcome without their advice, knowledge and patience. It’s not often you work with advisers who take the time to get to know what is important to you and bring that to the party at every step, while handling sensitive or tricky negotiations with ease. I am looking forward to working with the team on our next deal! Thanks so much.”

Janette Martin, CEO
Talos360 Limited
