Introduction Welcome to another special edition of William Blair s Insights, a periodic newsletter in which we analyze M&A and capital markets activity as well as valuations of technology companies providing solutions to help manage all aspects of the employee life cycle. We view the sector broadly defined across the following subcategories: William Blair Industry Landscape Pre-Employment Strategic Talent Management Other HCM Core HR Online Employment Solutions Screening & Assessment Recruiting Performance Management Employee Recognition Services Procurement Workforce Management HRMS Learning and Development Compensation Payroll Benefits Technology M&A activity in the HR tech sector is on an upswing. After the wave of consolidation that swept over the talent management sector in 2012, 2013 was a relatively quiet year in which the large strategics focused on integrating acquired companies and limited activity to a few tuck-in acquisitions. Over the last six months, we have seen an uptick in M&A activity highlighted by SAP s acquisition of Fieldglass on the services procurement front and WEX s acquisition of Evolution1 on the benefits technology front. We expect M&A activity to continue increasing because interest from strategic buyers and financial sponsors in this sector remains robust. The public equity capital markets have also been strong for HR tech companies with notable IPOs from HealthEquity, Paylocity, Paycom, and TriNet, as well as follow-on offerings from WageWorks, LinkedIn, Benefitfocus, and Workday. Institutional investors continue to reward revenue growth with higher valuation multiples, although demonstration of profitability (or at the very least efficient customer acquisition models) is increasingly important for companies looking to go public. Venture capital activity has steadily increased each year since 2010, reaching record levels. Over the last 12 months, 60 transactions represented $711 million in raised capital (excluding the $750 million minority investment in Kronos). This healthy funding environment will drive continued technological innovation and is a leading indicator for strong M&A and public equity activity in the coming years. Some of the major themes we expect to drive investing and M&A activity over the foreseeable future include: Tight Professional Labor Markets Talent remains scarce and the job market remains highly inefficient, driving the need for improved tools for both job seekers and for companies sourcing candidates. Recruiting will continue to witness innovation beyond the application tracking system (e.g., social job referal, mobile job application, and video interviewing) as will technologies that improve employee engagement and retention. Increasing costs will drive adoption of the CRM approach to recruiting as HR professionals manage and automate their candidate pipeline and monitor the ROI of different channels (much like marketing automation has streamlined and optimized the funnel for the acquisition of new customers). Social and Mobile Technology Increasingly defines how employees work and how candidates look for jobs. Driving design principals for new applications and creating innovative new business models. Big Data and Predictive Analytics Key to making human capital management a C-level priority. Enable HR decisions that have meaningful and quantifiable impacts on business performance. Applications range from recruiting and workforce management to learning and development and succession planning in large organizations. ACA and Rising Employee Benefit Costs Increasingly burdensome regulatory environment and rising costs shifting responsibility to employees. Introduction 1
Rise of alternative benefit platforms (e.g., private exchanges, defined-contribution models, high-deductible plans, individual exchanges) is disrupting the benefits industry and driving need for technology. Next-generation wellness platforms provide opportunities to improve employee long-term health, as well as engagement and productivity. William Blair remains active in the HR technology sector, having recently acted as co-advisor to Evolution1 in its sale to WEX, bookrunning manager on Paylocity s IPO, and co-manager on TriNet s IPO; other clients include WageWorks, Cornerstone OnDemand, and Sterling Infosystems, among others.
