About Beamery
Founded in 2013 by Sultan Saidov, Abakar Saidov, and Michael Paterson, Beamery is a talent lifecycle management platform headquartered in London, United Kingdom. The company targets large enterprises seeking to consolidate workforce data—skills, roles, and labor market signals—into a unified layer for AI-driven hiring and workforce planning.
Beamery's platform spans talent CRM, sourcing and matching, candidate engagement, career sites, workforce intelligence, and skills mapping. Notable enterprise customers include Salesforce, Flex (140,000+ employees), Wells Fargo, and Hilti, which projected 60 million in savings through improved talent acquisition efficiency using Beamery. The platform also supports internal mobility and employee reskilling under a skills-first model.
Beamery has raised approximately 23 million in total, spanning a million seed round in 2016, a million Series A in 2017 led by Index Ventures, a 8 million Series B in 2018 led by EQT Ventures, a 38 million Series C in 2021 led by Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, and a 0 million Series D in 2022 led by Teachers' Ventures Growth, at which point the company reached a billion valuation.

1 product reviewed on TopReviewedAvature is a longer-established, highly configurable enterprise CRM/ATS suite selling to the same Fortune 500 talent-acquisition buyers as Beamery, competing more on deep customization and enterprise tenure than on Beamery's AI-first workforce-planning pitch.
