TieTalent

TieTalent operates a curated job marketplace focused on the technology and digital marketing sectors, connecting candidates with companies in Switzerland, Germany, and France. The firm was established in 2017 by co-founders Jovana Rotula and Marc Trillou, who currently serve as COO and CEO, respectively. The idea originated from their identification of a market inefficiency in the traditional recruitment process. Trillou's prior experience in a recruitment startup and corporation highlighted the industry's slow adaptation to change, while Rotula, a graduate of EHL, recognized the frustrations job seekers faced with time-consuming applications and lack of feedback.

The company's core service reverses the conventional hiring model; instead of candidates applying for jobs, companies apply to interview pre-vetted candidates. This approach is designed to address the challenges faced by both sides of the market. For job seekers, it eliminates the need for extensive applications and cover letters, presenting them directly with opportunities that match their skills and career goals. For companies, it provides direct access to a pool of qualified talent, aiming to reduce hiring time and costs associated with screening numerous mismatched applications. The platform utilizes a combination of artificial intelligence and human oversight to facilitate these matches. The majority of candidates on the platform possess at least two to three years of experience, with a focus on junior to middle-level management profiles in fields like data science, cybersecurity, and digital marketing.

TieTalent's business model incorporates several revenue streams tailored to company needs. Creating an account is free for companies, with a fee levied only upon a successful hire made through the platform. They offer an 'On-Demand Hire' plan for occasional recruitment and a 'Sourcer SaaS' subscription for companies with more frequent hiring needs, which provides instant access to their talent pool of over 200,000 vetted professionals. Additionally, companies can use 'Job Ads' to promote specific openings to both active and passive candidates on the platform. The company has secured approximately $1.55 million in funding through several rounds, including a seed round in 2018 and a later-stage venture capital round in March 2022. This has supported its expansion, including the opening of offices in Germany and Spain.
