Wynden Stark, the parent company of GQR, Nebula and untapt, received a significant structured growth capital investment by Corbel Capital Partners. The deal will give Corbel a minority stake in the firm.
“We have a very exciting journey ahead of us,” CEO Steve Talbot said. “Our people continue to rally together and outperform with absolute commitment to excellence, and our platform continues to grow stronger, more advanced, and more capable.”
Wynden Stark’s GQR division appeared among the top 10 staffing firms on SIA’s 2020 list of Fastest-Growing Staffing Firms. The company also last year launched Nebula, an artificial intelligence-powered recruitment platform and talent marketplace. It acquired New York-based untapt, a talent acquisition and recruitment technology company, last month.
The funding will go to expand recruitment and corporate development programs at Wynden Stark, accelerate research and development at Nebula, and expand employee equity and rewards plans.
Corbel Capital Partners is a Los Angeles-based independent investment firm.
Blackwood Capital Group, which announced the deal, acted as M&A and strategic advisor to Wynden Stark.
