Ceridian HCM Holding (CDAY) has entered a definitive agreement to acquire Ideal.

Ideal is a leading talent intelligence software provider based in Toronto, Ontario

Cerdian expects the acquisition to optimize the company’s talent management offering once Ideal’s capabilities are integrated into the Dayforce platform.

Through the power of artificial intelligence-driven talent capabilities, Ideal’s talent intelligence products enhance recruiting processes. They include screening, shortlisting, and matching top candidates.

Ceridian expects its “new artificial intelligence capabilities will enable Dayforce customers to make more accurate, efficient, and fair talent decisions.”

“Together with Ideal, we stand to further our vision to make work life better by empowering our customers to make smarter, more efficient talent decisions and improve equity across their workforces. Today’s announcement reinforces that we continue to not just meet the needs of organizations today, but well into the future, and we are thrilled to welcome Ideal to the Ceridian family,” said Ceridian Chief Product and Technology Officer Joe Korngiebel.
