For founders and small teams hiring without a recruiter

No recruiting stack.Still a real shortlist.

You do not need a recruiting system in place to screen well. Upload the resumes you already have, describe the role once, and read every candidate scored, ranked and explained against it.

Free to start, no credit card required.
Where the time goes

The first ten hires are the ones you read yourself.

There is no screening team yet, so the pile lands on whoever posted the role, and that time comes straight out of building.

More applications than anyone can read closely

One good post brings in more resumes than a small team can work through properly, and the reading gets thinner as the pile goes on.

The criteria live in your head

Nobody has written down what the role actually needs, so two people reviewing the same folder are reviewing two slightly different roles.

You have to justify the choice

The first hires set the bar for the next twenty. When a co-founder asks why this candidate and not that one, a shortlist you can point at beats a shortlist you remember.

Three steps, then a fourth when the team grows

From a folder of resumes to a ranked shortlist

  1. Bring the resumes in

    Upload resumes in bulk from your device, or share an application form link that collects them for you, with written, video or audio answers to the questions you set. Resumes are read in many languages, automatically.

  2. Describe the role once

    Paste the job description. Talentino extracts the requirements: skills, experience, education, certifications. Mark your must-haves (deal-breakers), and set the weighting across the scoring criteria yourself, or leave each category's default in place.

  3. Read the ranked story

    Every candidate comes back scored, ranked and explained, with the supporting lines quoted from the resume. Shortlist, review or reject from the same screen.

  4. Bring the rest of the team in

    Invite teammates with role-based permissions, leave notes on a candidate, and compare two to four profiles side by side with the comparative read written for you.

What you get on day one

A screening process, not a folder

Requirements you can see

The job description becomes a list of graded requirements, and you decide which of them are must-haves. The same criteria and the same weighting are then applied to every candidate.

Interview questions from the resume

Talentino generates interview questions from the candidate's resume and the role, so the first call starts from what you actually want to test.

Answers by video or voice

Ask questions on your application form and let candidates answer by video or audio. Talentino evaluates each answer on professionalism, communication, sociability and congruence, the same way for every candidate.

Costs you approve before they run

You see the exact cost of a scoring run before it starts, and confirm it before anything is spent. Free tier, then pay-as-you-go credits.

Talentino fits a small team when

  • You are hiring for a handful of roles and nobody's job title is recruiter.
  • The applications are already arriving faster than you can read them.
  • You want the reasoning written down before you argue about candidates.
  • You would rather start free today than choose a system first.

What Talentino does not do

  • It is not an applicant tracking system. Talentino screens, ranks and explains. Job-board posting, interview scheduling, offers and onboarding are not part of it.
  • It does not find candidates for you. You bring them in from your device, your application form, or LinkedIn with Talentino Scout, our Chrome extension.
  • Scores and rankings are advisory: they order the pile and show the evidence behind the order.
  • It does not run your interview loop. Talentino writes the questions and evaluates recorded answers. Scheduling, debriefs and offers happen elsewhere.
