Exponent-backed SHL, a provider of talent innovation solutions, agreed to acquire Aspiring Minds, a provider of workforce assessments and credentialing solutions. Financial terms were not disclosed. "We see a noticeable gap between those who seek to transform their organizations with a digital strategy, and those who actually have the talent to do so. This acquisition infuses Aspiring Minds' advanced AI technology throughout SHL's portfolio at a platform level and will leverage our rigorous science to enable the technical, emerging and leadership talent required for our 10k-plus customers to succeed in the digital era," Andy Bradshaw, SHL CEO.
