In a time when employers are striving to attract and retain talent, money has been rolling into HR tech like never before. While London-based SaaS employment platform Omnipresent raised $120 million this week, Chemnitz-based Staffbase became a unicorn last week as it nabbed $115 million at $1.1 billion valuation to drive employee communication.

Entering the HR tech scenario with a bang now is Paris-based Lucca, which has raised €65 million funding, after being bootstrapped for a good long 20 years. The capital comes from its first institutional investor One Peak and will be used to build its product portfolio further and expand internationally in Spain and Switzerland.
