Talentful

Talentful is an embedded recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) provider for technology companies. It says it was founded in 2015 and describes itself as the world's first GenAI-driven embedded RPO. Its recruiters work inside client businesses on a subscription model with a single monthly cost, rather than charging commission on individual roles.

The company has worked exclusively with technology businesses, with RPO offerings for AI and deep tech, SaaS, fintech, e-commerce, emerging markets and tech hardware. It says it has placed candidates in tech, product, marketing, sales and operations roles. Its packages cover start-ups, scale-ups and large global enterprises. It reports hires in over 80 countries, with teams in APAC, EMEA, LATAM and the US, and says it has partnered with more than 300 organisations. It uses its own generative AI sourcing platform, Talentverse, and also offers global payroll and employer of record services.

Talentful has offices in London, New York and Berlin. Its US headquarters is in San Francisco, where chief executive Chris Abbass is based. Co-founder Phil Blaydes leads the European operation from London.
