TAtech LIVE: Consolidation in the TA Solutions Industry: Good, Bad or Unimportant
2025 saw a number of big consolidation moves in the TA solutions industry. Some involved large HR vendors: Workday acquired Paradox and SAP bought SmartRecruiters. Others saw TA solution providers snap up their peers: BOLD won the bidding war for CareerBuilder + Monster and Shaker Recruitment Marketing acquired JobAdX. All of which begs the question: will this consolidation continue in 2026 and if so, is it good, bad or unimportant for the future of the industry?
