WorkGenius Completes Acquisition of Futurepath

In a strategic move set to revolutionize access to specialized talent in the automotive software industry, WorkGenius has finalized the purchase of the remaining 49% stake of Futurepath from CARIAD SE, which is part of the Volkswagen Group. This acquisition, announced on September 4, 2025, marks a significant step following WorkGenius's previous acquisition of a 51% stake in Futurepath in August 2023, positioning the company as a leading player in sourcing talent for electric vehicles (EV) and automotive software.

Enhanced Talent Access

With this full ownership, WorkGenius will tap into Futurepath's extensive database comprising 12,500 skilled candidates, ranging from top engineers and software developers to other in-demand STEM professionals. This expanded access not only strengthens WorkGenius’s service offerings but also provides its clients with a competitive advantage in a rapidly evolving tech landscape, particularly within the EV sector.

Furthermore, Futurepath's expertise in the domain of automotive software sourcing and engineering will now be available to WorkGenius's diverse clientele across Europe and the United States. This integration aims to enhance the precision of WorkGenius's proprietary AI-matching technology, significantly improving the placement processes for freelancers and contractors.

A Commitment to Collaboration

While WorkGenius gains complete ownership, Futurepath will maintain its operations as a standalone brand, consistently serving as a strategic partner to CARIAD SE and Volkswagen. Utilizing WorkGenius technology, Futurepath aims to improve its service quality while focusing on key areas such as electric vehicles, automotive software development, and highly skilled technical talent sourcing.

WorkGenius’s end-users will benefit from this acquisition as it broadens the pool of specialized talent available to them in these fast-growing fields. This synergy is viewed as advantageous for all stakeholders involved, including Volkswagen, which will benefit from enhanced AI technology being applied at Futurepath for more effective talent sourcing.

Marlon Rosenzweig, the CEO and co-founder of WorkGenius, remarked on the deal's natural progression, highlighting that Futurepath's unmatched talent sourcing capabilities combined with WorkGenius’s advanced AI technology will create exceptional value for clients in the U.S., Germany, and more. "It’s a win for Volkswagen, a win for our clients, and a win for our teams," he added, showcasing optimism about the future collaborations.
