European HR Tech Fundings 12/2025

The last month of 2025 contained a few larger European HR Tech fundings for new start-ups or uprising scale-ups. 

Again different areas of employee benefits plays as well as several recruiting and learning focus investments characterize the fundings in the European and also in the US market. US has seen less super large rounds at the end of the year - whilst there is still a chance that some closing from end of December will be communicated in early 2026. 

Here are the details:
