HCM Market Insights: August 2024

In this edition of Founder’s Human Capital Management Market Insights, our team provides insights from the marketplace from Q2 of 2024. M&A activity in Q2 built on the early momentum in Q1 and recorded an 18% year-over-year increase in deal count. Over the first half of the year, estimated deal count has risen 10% compared to 2023. Looking back, Q3 2023 appears to be the bottom of the trough from the market’s slide from the 2021 peak.
