CEB to buy Wanted Technologies, provider of data to staffing firms

September 11, 2015

CEB Inc. struck a deal to acquire Wanted Technologies Corp., a provider of market intelligence and analytics for staffing firms, the firms announced today.

The transaction is scheduled to close Nov. 3. Wanted will be integrated into CEB’s predictive talent data offered through its CEB TalentNeuron offering, and its executives will remain with the company.

“The acquisition of Wanted Technologies will further our commitment to helping business leaders solve high-value talent challenges with the precision required to drive business impact,” said Jesse Levin, head of Corporate Strategy & Development, CEB. “With the addition of Wanted Analytics, we will have an unmatched ability to provide clients actionable guidance based on our understanding of trends in labor skills, demand, availability and cost within and across geographies — exactly the kinds of insights HR and other talent-focused executives crave to inform workforce planning, but can’t access in a meaningful way today.”

CEB will acquire Wanted for C$1.79 per share under the deal, for a total final cost of C$46 million.

CEB is based in Arlington, Va., and Wanted is based in Quebec City, Canada, with a US subsidiary in New York.
