Talent2Go

Talent2Go GmbH, established in 2019, operates as a specialized software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider in the German HR technology market. The company was founded by CEO Mike Joszko, whose 11 years of experience in the human resources sector revealed the significant administrative challenges within Germany's dual vocational training system. This direct exposure to the bureaucratic inefficiencies and the growing skilled labor shortage prompted the creation of a digital solution. He is joined by co-founder Sabine. Headquartered in Landau, the firm directs its services toward companies of all sizes, from small businesses to large corporations like BMW, Bayer, and Hornbach, that participate in the country's vocational training programs.

The core of the business is a comprehensive platform designed to digitize and streamline the entire apprenticeship lifecycle. Revenue is generated through a flexible, modular subscription model with different plans tailored to varying customer needs and budgets. The platform acts as a centralized system combining training management, talent management, and e-learning functionalities. It addresses the extensive paperwork and planning required by the German dual training system by offering features such as automated training and deployment scheduling, digital report booklets, and integrated workflows. This automation frees up time for trainers, allowing them to focus more on personal mentorship.

Beyond administrative efficiency, the service functions as a talent identification and development tool. A key feature is the company's proprietary "Talent Index," which uses data-driven insights and 360-degree feedback to help companies identify high-potential trainees early on. The platform also serves as a knowledge hub, providing apprentices with continuous access to learning materials, instructional videos, and exam preparation resources, accessible via a mobile app. To ensure data security, the software is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant, with all data hosted in Germany. The company's strategic direction was reinforced by a seven-figure seed funding round in September 2024, following a six-figure investment from HR tech investor allygatr in July 2024, aimed at expanding its market position and developing new features.
