Hunt Scanlon Ventures Serves as Strategic Advisor to TalentoHC In Acquisition of R2 Global

GREENWICH, Conn., Feb. 13, 2025 -- Hunt Scanlon Ventures, the leading M&A advisory firm focused on the human capital markets, announced today that it has facilitated a transaction between TalentoHC and R2 Global while serving as a strategic advisor on the deal.

Known for delivering cloud and data, business systems, and e-commerce talent, R2 Global brings a wonderful blend of solutions to TalentoHC who can now take this solution to a wider market and scale it to meet growing demand for specialized IT talent solutions.

"The combination of TalentoHC's talent acquisition expertise with R2's deep technical focus marks an exciting new chapter for both organizations," said Juan Gaitan, CEO of TalentoHC, based in Coral Gables, FL.

"R2's agile approach to technology staffing and recruiting aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver tailored recruitment solutions. Together, as R2 Powered by Talento, we are positioned to become a premier go-to partner for IT talent and innovation," he said.

Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Newcastle upon Tyne, U.K., R2 Global specializes in delivering cloud & data, business systems, and e-commerce talent to the technology & software, higher education & research, financial services, manufacturing, and consumer goods industries. The firm has 35 associates.

Growth Funding Round

"TalentoHC and R2 Global customers will benefit tremendously from the portfolio of human capital offerings that the combined organizations now provide," said Scott A. Scanlon, CEO and co-founder of Hunt Scanlon Ventures.
 
"TalentoHC can now take these solutions to a wider market and scale them to meet the growing demand for integrated talent solutions that eliminate the friction caused by multiple vendors serving the same customers," he added. "This is a firm that has been built to operate as an extension of an HR department, but with the results-orientation and high caliber execution of a top-tier professional services firm," he noted.
 
"With expansive services across cloud and data platforms, business systems, and e-commerce, R2 Powered by Talento brings a wonderful blend of solutions to market," said HSV managing director Drew Seaman.
 
"This includes hiring for specialized roles in cloud engineering, data analytics and infrastructure; offering expertise across ERP systems, CRM platforms, and business process automation; and bringing recruitment solutions for front-end and back-end development, architecture, and omnichannel strategies," he said.

The acquisition of R2 Global – TalentoHC's first outside the U.S. – comes on the heels of TalentoHC's recent round of growth funding, said Mr. Scanlon. "With all the proper pieces now in place, Juan and his team are positioned to scale operations much more broadly across key growth industries like technology and information systems," he said.

Just a few weeks ago, TalentoHC acquired The PeterSan Group and PeterSan Legal Staffing. Hunt Scanlon Ventures served as an advisor to both organizations.
