CURRENTLY COMPRISING TWO KEY BRANDS, DARTMOUTH PARTNERS AND PURE SEARCH, KERNEL OPERATES AND INVESTS IN HIGH-POTENTIAL RECRUITMENT BUSINESSES GLOBALLY.

  • Kernel is well established as a sector specialist, with over 280 employees and a network of 260,000+ candidates and over 900 clients globally
  • Funding was used to acquire passive shareholders, allowing the founder to regain control of the business, while also supporting Kernel’s ambitious growth plans centred on building out the platform through add-ons and new recruitment verticals
  • Due to the highly fragmented nature of the industry, the deal provides a highly attractive consolidation opportunity
