Digital hiring platform provider Alva Labs acquired coding test startup DevSkills.

The purchase allows the Stockholm-based Alva Labs to add technical tests for its developer-recruitment tools. Alva Labs claims to have doubled its revenues each year since 2018 and this year it grew its team by 56%.

It also raised $11.4 million in a Series A funding round, surpassed 800,000 tests completed and expanded its UK team. The acquisition has been led by investor and Alva board member Christoffer Norman, who has been named as the company’s new COO. “The addition of coding tests to our platform takes our digital hiring solution to the next level and allows us to tap into the rapidly growing sector of developer recruitment,” said Alva Labs co-founder and CEO Malcolm Burenstam Linder in a press statement.
