512Financial Strengthens Talent and Recruiting Capabilities with Acquisition of HireBetter and its Strategic Talent Planning™ Methodology
Posted September 2025
Company Announcement
512Financial has acquired HireBetter, one of the top executive retained search firms in the country and a Forbes-recognized leader in executive recruiting. The acquisition brings executive search and Strategic Talent Planning™ under the same roof as 512Financial’s finance, accounting, and people operations practices.
The combined firm now serves growth-stage companies across six integrated service lines, from Seed through Series B and beyond.
“This isn’t about getting bigger. It’s about being more useful. A founder navigating a fundraise, a new COO hire, and a people ops build-out shouldn’t have to manage three separate vendors to do it.”
