The amount of the deal was not disclosed.
The acquisition of Geektastic – with its mixture of technical assessments and code challenges – means Deazy can now readily demonstrate the skills and quality within its developer community to potential customers.

Its customisable platform allows customers to build their code challenges and review guidelines integrated into their HR Platforms for streamlined recruitment.

Commenting on the news, Andy Peddar said: “We always aim to make digital delivery easier for our clients by giving them access to the best developers and full product delivery teams, and Geektastic helps us achieve that. We know how good our developers and teams are, but we can now be 100% transparent about that quality and communicate that to clients.”
