Talentum operates in the recruitment technology sector, offering an AI-driven platform named Sara designed to streamline the hiring process. The company targets businesses, particularly startups and tech companies in markets like Latin America and the Middle East, that face challenges with traditional, costly, and time-consuming recruitment methods. Talentum's business model appears to be service-based, functioning as an AI recruitment agency that charges commissions for successful hires, which it claims are significantly lower than traditional agency fees. The core of its offering, Sara, is an AI recruiter that automates critical stages of talent acquisition.
The platform's primary function is to source, screen, and engage with potential candidates. Sara actively searches for talent on professional networks like LinkedIn, filtering profiles to match specific job requirements. It then automates the outreach process to contact the most suitable individuals. A key feature is its ability to conduct and manage screening calls 24/7, which allows companies to evaluate a much larger candidate pool without the logistical burden of manual scheduling. For candidates, Talentum offers a platform where they can create an anonymous profile to be considered for roles in global startups without jeopardizing their current employment. The platform uses a multi-step vetting process, including an initial application, an interview with an AI recruiter, and a technical challenge, to identify what it refers to as the top 3% of talent.
For its business clients, Talentum delivers a shortlist of pre-vetted, ranked candidates, enabling faster hiring decisions. The system can be customized to align with a company's specific needs and the role being filled. Case studies suggest the platform can reduce hiring costs by as much as 40% and fill multiple roles within a 30-day timeframe. By automating tasks such as screening and verification, Talentum aims to reduce the time-to-hire and allow recruitment teams to focus on higher-value activities, like engaging with top-tier candidates.
