Spain-based hiring platform Circular.io announced that it has acquired RecruitersClub, a Paris-based talent recommendation platform for tech start-ups.

Financial details were not disclosed.

Alice Duranteau founded RecruitersClub in 2017, and successfully built a community of over 200 companies who were recommending tech talent in France. Following the acquisition, Circular enables this to be done at scale. Duranteau remains in charge of national operations as Director of France at Circular.

“RecruitersClub was born out of the conviction that winning the "war for talents" could only be done together, as a community,” Duranteau said. “And I believe we proved that even in very competitive markets, recruiters know they need to play the long game and invest in their candidate experience by recommending talents. Circular is our chance to make this a worldwide movement.”

Pedro Torrecillas, co-founder and CEO of Circular, said, “We are really excited about our partnership with RecruitersClub. Not only has this enabled us to expand into a new city and leverage the local insight from the team at RecruitersClub, but we are now able to expand our network of in-house recruiters who share our ethos. We’re thrilled to welcome recruiters from RecruitersClub to Circular, who share our same view on collaborative recruitment and who are keen to help us on our mission to change the way hiring works for the better.”

Circular.io is a platform for recommending developers between companies. The group also describes itself as a network for hiring tech talent recommended by in-house recruiters.

“With Circular, in-house recruiters can hire up to 10x faster by harnessing a network of 6,000 like-minded peers, all benefiting from the recommendation effect: filling their hard to fill tech roles, by recruiting from, and recommending, peer approved talent, at scale,” the group states.
