Homerun acquires Frankli to build the first truly connected HR platform

AMSTERDAM, 15th of April 2026 - Homerun, an ATS and HR platform serving 1000s of modern teams across Europe, has acquired Frankli, an Irish performance management and employee engagement platform.

This marks a significant step toward a shared vision of creating a fully integrated HR platform that supports the entire employee journey, from hiring through to performance, engagement and growth, delivering a unified experience designed for scaling, ambitious teams.

Today, too many organisations rely on multiple disconnected tools to manage hiring, employee data, performance and engagement. The result is fragmented employee experiences, inefficient workflows and limited visibility across the business. With Frankli embedded directly into Homerun, we’re building a single, connected system that eliminates that complexity, so teams can focus on the work that matters.

Oliver Pollard, CEO of Homerun, said:

"We believe work is about more than processes and policies - it’s about people. That’s why we build HR tools to empower teams, not add complexity. From hiring through to employee management, everything is designed to feel intuitive, and human - with design at the core of how it all comes together. Bringing Frankli into Homerun is a big step forward. The goal is simple: One platform, one employee record, from first application through to career growth."

Ronan McCabe, Founder of Frankli, said:

“We built Frankli on the belief that performance management could and should be better. Joining Homerun lets us take everything we’ve learned and bring it into a much bigger vision, connecting performance with every stage of the employee journey. We share the same belief that HR software should be simple, impactful and built around people, not process.”

What customers can expect

This partnership is focused on thoughtful, high-impact integration. In the coming months, customers can expect:

• A connected employee journey, bringing hiring, HR data and performance into one integrated experience.

• Continued investment in performance and engagement, building on Frankli’s strengths with deeper functionality and insights.

• A unified product experience that aligns Frankli with Homerun’s intuitive, design-led approach.

• Smarter, AI-powered workflows, reducing admin and enabling better, real-time decision-making.

• New capabilities for growing organisations and features designed specifically for companies scaling from 50 to 500 employees.

Existing customers of both Homerun and Frankli will continue to be fully supported, with enhancements introduced progressively.
