Acquisition of Breezy HR Inc.

Learning Technologies Group plc (LTG), the integrated digital learning and talent management services and technologies provider, announced that it has completed the acquisition of Breezy HR Inc. (Breezy) for an initial cash consideration of $12 million (£9.2 million).

Breezy is a fast-growing talent acquisition software business, providing small to medium sized businesses with an intuitive and user-friendly recruitment software to optimise their recruitment processes and maximise productivity. Breezy will become part of LTG’s Software & Platforms division. Since its founding in 2014, Breezy's software has managed the recruitment of 15 million candidates across 10,000 companies in 72 countries. The transaction builds on LTG's acquisition of PeopleFluent in 2018, which introduced a transformational talent management capability to LTG. LTG expect to leverage Breezy's software suite to support new feature releases to PeopleFluent's Talent Acquisition enterprise customers.
