Derry, Northern Ireland, May 19, 2026 — Learning Pool, a leading provider of learning technology solutions, today announced the acquisition of confirm, an AI-first talent development platform.
Added verification consolidates employee data into a single source of truth, making talent decisions across the organization more accurate. Based on Organizational Network Analysis (ONA), Confirmation maps real-world working relationships to quantify employee influence and impact, giving leaders a clear view of top performers and quiet contributors alike.
This acquisition expands Learning Pool’s focus beyond providing training to measuring real-world performance. Building on the recent integration of WorkStep, WorkRamp, and Elucidat, Learning Pool aims to power a new era of employee performance by unifying learning, engagement, and performance within a single intelligent Talent Flywheel – a powerful engine that turns employee potential into measurable business results.
High-performing brands like Substack, Foursquare, and Canada Goose rely on confirm to identify their most influential people, ensuring that employee decisions are directly linked to productivity and commercial success.
“The biggest challenge for leaders today is knowing exactly where workforce development will have the greatest impact,” said Benoît de la Tour, CEO of Learning Pool.
By integrating Confirmation into our ecosystem, we provide organizations with insights to identify top contributors, close skills gaps, and make data-driven decisions that directly lead to productivity and business results. confirm transforms talent insights into actionable intelligence, helping customers turn employee potential into measurable growth.
David Murray, CEO of Confirm, said:
Talent decisions are still too often based on perception rather than evidence. Our platform provides leaders with clear insight into who is driving real business impact. This includes low-key contributors who rarely get the recognition they deserve and high-potential people whose growth gaps aren’t visible until it’s too late. Combined with the Learning Pool ecosystem, organizations can surface these signals early, quickly track developments, and ensure that employee growth directly translates into organizational success.
Confirmation will operate as a dedicated performance intelligence division within Learning Pool, leveraging Learning Pool’s global resources while accelerating its AI-driven roadmap. This expanded suite enables organizations to reduce ramp-up time, close skills gaps, and turn talent development into a strategic business driver.
