Tellent
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tellent is a human resources technology company headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It provides cloud-based software for recruitment, core HR management, and employee performance evaluation.[1]
History
Tellent was formed through a series of mergers and acquisitions.[2] In 2022, Javelo, a French performance management software firm, joined the group.[3] In September 2022, the group acquired KiwiHR, a German software provider for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and named it Tellent to unify the three entities. Perry Oostdam was appointed as the initial chief executive officer.[4] In May 2024, Moritz Kothe succeeded interim CEO Robbert Flipsen.[5] In 2025, Tellent renamed its platforms, Recruitee as Tellent Recruitee and KiwiHR and Javelo as TellentHR, and acquired FunnelBridge, a developer of WhatsApp-based hiring tools.[6]
