Are we alone in thinking recruitment can and should be done better? No? We didn't think so. Talentful are here to provide some much needed change in this space. We believe recruitment should be simple and transparent. We don't believe that agencies present the right kind of innovative, fast moving hiring that start ups require - and don't get us started on process riddled RPO solutions! With over 10 years experience working within agencies, and most recently helping scale rapidly growing teams in-house for the likes of Shazam, Mind Candy, Audible, Thought Machine and Forward3D. We have taken the bits that work and thrown away those that don't, to provide a smart new recruitment solution for today's ever changing, fast moving market. If you'd like to find out more, we'd love to hear from you chris@talentful.co www.talentful.co
