Gartner Sells Labor Market Data Unit TalentNeuron

New York-based investor Leeds Equity Partners has paid an undisclosed sum for Gartner's TalentNeuron, which provides human capital data and insights subscription solutions.

TalentNeuron serves labor market data and analytics for corporate human resource and talent analytics functions in major companies, government organizations and educational institutions, using proprietary data normalization and enrichment methods to integrate disparate, unstructured data.

The buy strengthens Leeds Equity's presence in research, data and insight businesses as well as long involvement in human capital management. Partner Jacques Galante comments: 'Business leaders face significant ongoing challenges with how to make informed human capital decisions and manage their global talent and skills strategies, all in the midst of substantial changes in the workplace... TalentNeuron with its technology-enabled data platform and deep market insights serves as a critical partner to these business leaders and their talent analytics teams as they successfully execute on these mission critical initiatives'.

Katherine Evans (pictured), Chief Revenue Officer for TalentNeuron, adds: 'Our team is excited by this new partnership with Leeds Equity as we seek, as a newly standalone entity, to accelerate our product development and innovation to meet the ever-growing data and insights needs of our global customer base'.

While part of Gartner, TalentNeuron offered the services of more than 130 data scientists and labor market economists: the precise number moving across is not known to DRNO.
