Pearl Talent

Pearl Talent is a managed remote staffing agency specialising in placing full-time, dedicated operators with US-based founder-led teams. Formerly known as Catena, Pearl Talent has rebranded with the same mission of connecting businesses with exceptional remote talent. The company distinguishes itself through a rigorous 5-stage vetting process, AI scoring systems, and a comprehensive 29-hour Pearl AI+ training programme that certifies every hire before they start. With over 1,200 placements, a 90% plus client retention rate, and clients who have collectively raised more than $5 billion, Pearl Talent has established itself as a premium alternative to traditional staffing agencies that typically require months to source candidates.

Pearl Talent specialises in recruiting across multiple core sectors including healthcare staffing, technology staffing, consulting staffing, finance staffing, legal staffing, ecommerce staffing, and real estate staffing. The company places operators across diverse roles spanning executive assistants, customer support specialists, developers, sales development representatives, patient care coordinators, automation engineers, and finance professionals. Each hire is selected based on industry-specific expertise, ensuring candidates understand the tools, workflows, and standards relevant to their sector before commencing employment.

Operating globally but focused on serving US-based companies, Pearl Talent sources talent from the Philippines, Brazil, Mexico, and South Africa. The company differentiates itself through managed services that extend beyond initial placement, including dedicated customer success managers, ongoing performance coaching, 30-60-90 day check-ins, compliance management, and international payroll handling. Pearl Talent's commitment to paying nearly double the industry average wage to its talent pool ensures access to top-tier candidates who remain committed to their roles, with most clients expanding their teams within the first year and returning for multiple subsequent hires.
