TalentWall

TalentWall operates as a hiring management and analytics platform, subsequently acquired by Crosschq in May 2022 to become a core part of its Talent Intelligence Cloud™. The company was established in 2016 by co-founders Jacob 'Jake' Paul, Jo Avent, and Nick Urban, who leveraged their extensive backgrounds in recruiting to address common inefficiencies in the hiring process. The founders' journey began from direct experience with the challenges of scaling teams in hyper-growth environments, which inspired the creation of a tool built "For Recruiters, By Recruiters". Jake Paul, with a history as Head of Talent at several startups, and Jo Avent, with over 25 years in recruiting, identified a market need for better pipeline visibility and collaboration.

The business provides a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution primarily for talent acquisition teams, recruiting leaders, and hiring managers at fast-growing companies. Its business model centers on offering a subscription-based, unlimited-seat license to its platform, which integrates with existing Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) like Greenhouse, Lever, and SmartRecruiters. By acting as a command-center layer on top of an ATS, TalentWall generates revenue by helping clients like Reddit, Roblox, and Cloudflare decrease time-to-hire and improve offer acceptance rates.

TalentWall's core product converts standard ATS data into a real-time, visual, and interactive "card wall". This visualization allows recruiting teams to manage the candidate pipeline with drag-and-drop functionality, see job health at a glance, and collaborate more effectively. A key feature is its customizable analytics dashboard, which provides metrics on time-to-hire, offer acceptance rates, source of hire, and diversity data, enabling teams to identify bottlenecks and make data-driven decisions. This functionality aims to save recruiters time on manual reporting, enhance collaboration with hiring managers, and provide executives with a high-level view of all hiring activities.
