Software Profile & Review Summary
Halogen Software was founded in Ottawa Canada in 2001 and the original focus of the company was on performance management for mid-market companies. The original product was installed software and the company introduced subscription based software in 2006. Since 2012, they only sell subscription software. The company has expanded its offerings to include recruiting, succession management, 360-degree rater, compensation, and leaning management. Halogen went public in May 2013 raising $50m, which it is primarily using to grow its sales and product development teams, and expand its presence in UK and Australia. A large portion of the proceeds is also being used to strengthen the balance sheet.
