Hireology, a recruitment CRM for multi-location, decentralized companies, announced it acquired EmployUs, an employee referral technology provider.

“As the economy reopens in the wake of the Covid pandemic, employers face a new challenge: finding enough people to hire,” said Adam Robinson, CEO of Hireology. “I’m excited for our customers to see firsthand how running a successful employee referral program can help build a more robust talent pipeline and accelerate hiring.”

Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, EmployUs enables companies to reward employees for recommending people to jobs.

“Employee referrals are hired faster, stay employed longer and are more engaged compared to employees hired through other sources,” said Ryan O’Donnell, CEO of EmployUs. “By bringing our solution together with Hireology, the market leader, employee referral programs will amplify existing sourcing strategies, saving time and reducing cost.”

Hireology is based in Chicago.
