Grade and Talentech Are Coming Together
January 15, 2026
Grade and Talentech have now completed their merger, following approval from competition authorities in all four Nordic countries. The two companies are coming together to form one organization, operating under the name Talentech.
For customers, the purpose of this merger is simple: to strengthen the platform and the partnership you rely on today, while creating better opportunities for development over time.
By combining the strengths of Grade and Talentech, we are building a broader and more integrated HR software offering that supports the full employee journey — from recruitment and onboarding to development and retention.
The combined company serves close to 4,000 customers across the Nordic region, including both small and medium-sized businesses and public sector organizations. With increased scale, Talentech will be able to invest more in product development, security, and long-term innovation, while continuing to deliver stable and reliable solutions.
Walter Leicher has been appointed CEO of Talentech. He brings more than 30 years of experience leading and developing companies across software and other industries.
“HR teams today face increasing complexity and pressure, often without the tools to truly make an impact. The new Talentech will help even more customers to manage recruitment, onboarding and employee development, now also by taking our solutions to the next level,” says Walter Leicher.
Over time, customers will benefit from a more unified platform and a clearer product roadmap. Any changes will be introduced gradually and communicated well in advance.
