About Us

Talnted helps sales teams generate long-term revenue and consistent quota achievement.

And we do that through intentional hiring.

Most sales jobs are different. Different markets. Different customer bases. Different compensation systems. If a salesperson is successful in one organization, it doesn’t mean they are guaranteed to be successful in any organization, even if it is in the same industry. The key is to match the seller’s style with your typical (prospective) client and the seller’s drive with your compensation system.

These are soft skills, and they don’t show up on a resume. They only happen through person-to-person contact. We use cutting-edge technology to source potential candidates, but we combine that with the required human interaction that reveals whether a sales candidate’s soft skills align with your selling environment.

I’ve always considered my industry to be unique, and I rely heavily on my network to find top talent. I was pleasantly surprised by Talnted’s approach. They took the time to understand the profile of the sales leader I truly needed and encouraged me to broaden my perspective on potential candidates. They introduced me to exceptional talent outside of my network to fill my open position.

  • We profile the open role.

    Our motto is “Start with the Profile, then find the name.” During the client discovery phase of a recruiting project, we first define the profile of the open role. Understanding the cultural, stylistic, and emotional skills necessary before finding any individuals allows you to view hiring, especially sales hiring, as a scientific task, rather than an intuitive one.

  • We match the role’s profile with a candidate profile.

    Once the open role is profiled, rather than defined, we scour the talent pool for candidate profiles that are a potential match. Names don’t matter at this point. What is most important is that the candidate’s profile will thrive in your organization’s sales environment. We define a candidate profile by analyzing selling style, lead generation technique, and financial motivation.

  • We recruit the candidate that matches your team and target client.

    Once we have sourced the profiles that will thrive in your selling environment, we look at the names at the top of the resume and engage them. Outreach to these candidates is intentional and personal. We do not mass email or “smile-and-dial”. We target, very specifically, individuals who have the right sales profile for your organization’s selling environment. Candidates that you will want to interview and potentially hire.

How We’re Different

A flat-fee, project-based recruiter

For every recruiting project, Talnted charges the same flat fee. It is spread over 4 invoices, and each payment depends on our performance in the previous month. If you ever question the value of what we do, you can terminate the engagement at any time without paying another dime. Our projects are delivered in the following manner:

Step 1: 3 batches of candidates

Talnted believes that the best way for you to evaluate talent is to compare them side-by-side. For that reason, we present candidates in batches, 3 batches to be exact.

Step 2: 3 candidates per batch

Because Talnted intentionally recruits, we are not going to flood your inbox with candidates that do not match your open role, regardless of the name that is at the top of the resume. We target specific individuals based on the defined profile. With a 73% interview rate (presented candidates who are interviewed by a client), you will likely want to meet with anyone we send your way.

Step 3: 3-month project timeline

Most open roles linger, whether recruited in-house or outsourced to a recruiter. However, Talnted has found that recruiting projects are more effective if a deadline exists. With that, we place a 3-month completion date on every project we execute. Importantly, it allows you, the client, to plan accordingly for your new hire and boost to your revenue production.

Talnted's process is innovative and effective. They worked hard to understand our culture and "style" of sales and then assisted us in determining our exact profile match. I am still amazed at the candidates that were turned into us for consideration. Talnted hit the nail on the head, and we truly think we could not have found the same candidates without them.
