Earlier this month Entelo announced acquisition of 3TS portfolio company ConveyIQ, the leading provider of candidate engagement solutions. The combined business will be the first in the HR tech industry to offer end-to-end management of all candidate interactions from source-to-hire. Additionally, the combined company’s powerful AI-based targeting and candidate re-engagement capabilities will allow organizations to mine their existing candidate database to uncover and rediscover matched talent for current open roles. Concurrent with the acquisition, Entelo has raised a new round of funding from Entelo and ConveyIQ investors, including 3TS Capital Partners, Battery Ventures, Shasta Ventures, USVP, SC Ventures and StarVest Partners. Entelo’s CEO Jon Bischke will continue to lead the combined business while ConveyIQ’s CEO and Founder, Danielle Weinblatt, will assume the role of President and Chief Product Officer at Entelo. In addition, ConveyIQ’s Andrew Schafer will become Chief Technology Officer and Larry Murff will become Chief Financial Officer at Entelo. We congratulate ConveyIQ Founder and CEO Danielle Weinblatt and the entire ConveyIQ team on this milestone and wish them all the best at their new roles within the greater Entelo family.
