A London-based recruitment scaleup has raised £100 million in Series C funding.
Beamery, billed as a talent operating system, serves global corporations including AstraZeneca, Autodesk, Nasdaq and Workday.
The round was led by the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan Board through its Teachers’ Innovation Platform.
Accenture Ventures also participated alongside existing investors EQT Ventures, Index Ventures, M12 and Workday Ventures.
The round follows a record year for the company, which finished with 337% annual revenue growth in Q4, and surpassed one million roles filled on its platform during 2020.
Beamery provides a single platform to manage the entire talent lifecycle. This aggregates and enriches enterprises’ existing talent data with billions of relevant data points to help organisations quickly identify and prioritise potential candidates that are likely to thrive at their organisation.
It also measures and helps them to reach diversity targets and provide better learning opportunities and career pathways for existing employees.

This new investment will fuel extensive product development, accelerate commercial growth in existing and new geographies, double its rapidly growing employee base, and solidify Beamery’s leadership position in the talent space.
“Changes to the way we work, shifting expectations of candidates, and the sheer pace of recruiting demands, have led organisations to rethink how they approach recruitment and retention,” said co-founder and CEO Abakar Saidov.
