Stockholm - Private equity firm Main Capital Partners announces that it has successfully completed the sale of Assessio, a leading talent assessment company, to Pollen Street Capital. Assessio has evolved over the past four years from a locally operating recruitment company to an authoritative provider of talent assessment in Northern Europe. The company offers innovative solutions for both pre-hire and post-hire. Following the transition to Pollen Street, Assessio will now be in a good position to expand its boundaries of success and move into new promising markets.

Together with Main Capital, we have grown into a scalable SaaS company, doubled our revenue and established ourselves as a market leader in the Nordics and Benelux.

Johan Masironi, CEO Assessio

Strategic investor Main Capital Partners had invested in Assessio in 2019, recognizing early on the potential to make the company a frontrunner in the talent assessment space. During the investment period, Assessio transformed from a consulting-focused firm to a highly scalable software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider. The company's platform encompasses the entire recruitment process, from pre-screening to post-screening. During this time, Assessio has more than doubled its revenue and consolidated its market leadership in the Nordics and Benelux.

Assessio has developed an exciting and highly differentiated offering that uniquely positions the company in the HCM software market.

Main Capital Partners' support played a critical role in Assessio's growth. The company drove strategic acquisitions to expand its product portfolio and strengthen its presence in the market. The acquisitions of HFMTalentindex, Eelloo and People Test Systems contributed to Assessio's current leadership in talent assessment in the Nordics and Benelux. More than 1,800 customers from diverse industries rely on Assessio.

Through organic growth and a selective buy-and-build strategy, the provider of HR software for talent assessment has become a leader in Northern Europe. We are proud to have supported Assessio on this growth path."

The sale to Pollen Street Capital represents another significant step for Main Capital Partners. Pollen Street Capital recognizes the exceptional value of Assessio's expertise in talent assessment. This transaction will bring Assessio's innovative solutions together with the necessary resources from Pollen Street Capital to help the company grow and strive for a leading position in the industry.
