HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The role of HR and Human Capital Management solutions has dramatically changed over the past decade, as organizations leverage HCM technology and services to drive strategic initiatives. Companies now recognize that their people are their most valuable and differentiated resource, and they increasingly seek outside solutions to help them navigate the War for Talent and the Skills Gap to attract, train, engage and retain the talent required to grow their businesses. Our long history of helping advise and finance companies in the Human Capital Management market, along with our strong relationships with the key strategic and financial buyers in the sector, gives us a unique ability to help you refine your positioning and enhance the value of your business.

We work with innovative firms across the range of HCM functionality – hire through retire – as well as across the continuum of software, tech-enabled services, consulting, staffing, and outsourcing business models.

Equiteq were a brilliant partner for us. They took time to intimately understand our business, unique culture and the goals of our shareholders, which directly influenced how we optimized the positioning of Aware to find our perfect buyer. Alex and the Equiteq team did a sterling job, gave pragmatic advice based on their deep global experience, but equally importantly to us—from the first introductory meeting to sitting side-by-side as we signed the sale agreements—Equiteq worked hard at both a pace and scale to secure the outcome for our team. Our shareholders are over the moon with the result. I would happily recommend Equiteq to all founders of any IT services firm contemplating M&A.

Equiteq proved to be an outstanding advisor, offering invaluable insights at every stage of the process. Their deep understanding and expertise in both the French IT services market and the international landscape were instrumental in guiding Oligos to a strategic position for its future growth within Magellan. Notably, I want to underscore Equiteq's empathetic and human approach to management—a crucial element in the sensitive context of this type of operation, clearly evident throughout the deal.

Sold to Magellan Partners

The Equiteq team has been our 'true strategic M&A advisor' in every sense, essentially becoming an extension of our team. They have worked incredibly hard and were always by our side throughout the process. Their diligent efforts and attention to detail were instrumental in navigating through the twists and turns of the transaction, providing us with sound advice and guidance through every stage of the journey.
