Highlights from the report:

  • M&A volumes rebound: HCM M&A was strong in Q1, the third most active quarter over the last five years fueled by a big uptick in Talent Management and Core HR transactions.
  • Everyone is back in the game: Both abundantly funded PE firms and hungry-for-growth Strategics are back in the M&A game and 2024 is expected to power through, despite geopolitical and economic headwinds.
  • Unicorns are back: Notably, for the first time since Q4 2022, two new unicorns emerged - payroll provider DailyPay, and workforce management platform Deputy. However, overall VC activity was muted given the more early-stage investor caution.
