We are pleased to announce that Wynden Stark has acquired untapt, bringing 
in-house a world-class team of Data Scientists and Software Engineers. Founded 
in 2013, untapt boasts many accolades and features in Forbes, Fast Company, 
NASDAQ, and more. The acquisition accelerates Wynden Stark's growth globally 
with additional capability, enabling the delivery of unparalleled solutions. 

The acquisition has brought in-house the Artificial Intelligence (AI) that the 
two companies collaborated on; a groundbreaking model that matches job seekers 
with opportunities using Natural Language Processing with a state-of-the-art 
Deep Neural Network. The patent-pending model encodes human interactions from 
years of recruiter experience in a massively scalable algorithm.

Wynden Stark CEO Steven Talbot explained: "With this acquisition, we are 
combining best-in-class talent acquisition with best-in-class engineering and 
data science. We have a mission to create an intelligent talent acquisition 
platform that reimagines recruitment and elevates human experiences. I am 
incredibly excited about what we can achieve."

Ed Donner, the founder of untapt and now Chief Technology Officer of GQR, 
added: "This acquisition is everything that we had hoped for as a startup: an 
opportunity to collaborate with one of the fastest-growing talent acquisition 
firms in the world. An opportunity to massively amplify the impact of 
recruiters, employers, and job seekers, and an opportunity to take our 
technology to a scale that we had only dreamed of."

GQR's Executive team remains the same with new additions from untapt; Ed Donner 
as CTO, Jon Krohn as Chief Data Scientist, and Gareth Moody as Head of 
Enterprise Sales at GQR.
