Software Combined acquires Netherland-based workforce solutions provider

Software Combined has acquired WCC Group, a Dutch company specialising in intelligent workforce matching software.

This marks Software Combined’s third Dutch acquisition in just four months and its thirteenth acquisition globally since its founding in 2020.

The company offers two solutions: Employment Solutions support public employment services and staffing agencies in matching candidates with jobs or training, while its HR Solutions aims to simplify talent retention and internal talent management for large enterprises to reduce external recruitment and onboarding costs.

WCC Group joins Software Combined's growing European portfolio, following the recent acquisition of Unified Streaming in October, and the acquisition strengthens Software Combined's strategic focus on the Benelux market (the economic union of Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg), with its Amsterdam office serving as the European hub.

WCC Group was previously owned by private equity firm Avedon Capital Partners for nine years.

"What attracts us to Software Combined is their long-term commitment and their proven track record in supporting businesses like ours," said Jan Jensen, CEO of WCC Group.

"They are not a traditional investor; they are building a permanent home for companies that have found their niche and want to grow sustainably. We look forward to leveraging Software Combined's global presence to expand our reach, while maintaining the quality and innovation our customers expect from us."

"WCC Group represents the type of company we look for: an enterprise with deep expertise, strong customer relationships, and a leading position in a niche market," said Evert den Hollander, CEO of Software Combined.

"WCC Group has secured a leading position in delivering intelligent workforce matching solutions. Their cloud-based products help organizations on multiple continents transform the way they connect people with employment opportunities. Our approach is to preserve their unique culture and identity while providing the resources to accelerate their growth."
