Congratulations to one of our favorite clients, Fulcrum Workforce Solutions, on their successful merger and growth financing alongside Open Assembly to create Bench Talent Cloud! We were happy to assist in bringing these transactions to a close to kick off Q2 and can't wait to see the successes of Bench! ??
?? Welcome to Bench Talent Cloud! ?? Today marks a significant milestone as we introduce Bench Talent Cloud, born from the strategic merger of Fulcrum and Open Assembly’s Technology division. We’re here to revolutionize how enterprises access talent by offering enterprises their own Virtual Bench filled with technology and innovation talent, curated just for them. Under the leadership of Trevor Foster as CEO and Barry Matthews as President, we combine advanced technology with expert guidance to empower technology teams and service providers to navigate the Future of Work with agility and precision. Our Enterprise Talent Cloud is not just a solution; it's a strategy for dynamic talent engagement, ensuring our clients have the right talent at the right time, seamlessly integrated into their operations. Bench combines known talent (encompassing employees, alumni, and previous contractors) with new talent from online marketplaces, staffing agencies, or direct recruits into a single, cohesive Virtual Bench. This initiative is bolstered by significant growth investment, setting the stage for our mission to provide large enterprises a solution to one of their biggest problems – how to manage and hire flexible talent. A special thanks to Communitas Capital, Greatscale Ventures and Evoce Capital for joining us on the ride!
