Client Testimonials
"When consultants are involved in all three of those things: delivery, stakeholder engagement and project work, I think you get the most out of Talentful.
And I think, given the quality of the consultants I've worked with from Talentful, I think that's what sets them apart from competitors."
Scott Baxter
Talent Acquisition Manager
"Having Talentful on-site as an embedded partner within our business has allowed us to scale quickly, but to grow in the right way and hire great people enabling us to continue our growth for the future."
Matt Norell
Head of Tech Recruitment
"So to me, if you're going through a hyper-growth scale-up process, if you want to match quality, speed and let's be realistic here, cost, the embedded model is the way to go. I can say that with confidence after working with Talentful."
Kevin Seay
Global Head of Talent Acquisition
"With Talentful, it's not just about doing all of their tactical boots-on-the-ground recruiting.
I mean, they do do that, of course, but another thing that I've found to be super valuable from Talentful is the advice they've given us: how to create a very compelling employer value proposition, doing A/B testing with reach-outs to candidates, how to do growth hacks to tap into additional channels."
Nathan Woo
Head of Engineering
"Talentful really embedded themselves into Depop's team and culture, which meant that we were able to identify strong candidates, run efficient recruitment processes, keep communication high and significantly reduce our time to hire.
I would highly recommend the Talentful crew to any company looking to grow their team quickly and efficiently."
Chris Wilkinson
Director of People
We tried several approaches and none of them were really delivering on the quality that we were looking for. And with Talentful, it was more of an extension of our existing team.
They were coming here, living with us, and experiencing what we were experiencing.
Tom Lienhart
Chief Operation Officer
"Talentful had an immediate impact on our recruitment process. The Talentful community added so much value for us. Everyone we worked with was cheery, outcome and results-driven and a joy to work with.”
Michael Kenway
Recruitment Manager, EMEA
"Talentful really made sure that the hiring managers know what it means when we scale, they gave us a structure.
When building the product team, we needed five product people and Talentful managed to hire all five, the full team, within six weeks. This was really awesome."
Vera Termühlen-Enger
Global HR Director
"Talentful are really helping us find the best talent, that are the right fit culturally for the business. It’s really important, particularly when you’re scaling.
They come in and feel like a part of your business, so by spending time in the office, traveling to the different offices, getting to know the business, makes them feel as though they are part of the company."
Zoe Rumford
Chief People Officer
“The big surprise was the quality difference in the candidates and how much easier it was as a process.
The key is being embedded in the company, and that is so different. The relationship is so much closer. It goes from being like a customer/client relationship to being a part of the team, fully understanding what I want and what the company wants.”
Sam Coley
Co-Founder & CTO
"It feels like a true partnership, so I feel like I’ve got another voice and thinking partner within the organisation who thinks about HR.
Talentful have helped me hire probably in the hundreds now. We’re getting massive traction. Without really great calibre people, we couldn’t do that.”
Tamsin Webster

We’re growing quickly and need talent fast
Hiring plans are not always predictable or consistent. Talentful can plug into your business quickly and seamlessly in a matter of weeks. We’ve hired hundreds of roles in a short space of time for many of our fastest-growing clients, adopting a data-driven approach to ensure our partnerships are strategic and deliver strong ROI. Find out more about how we hire at scale in our client case studies.
We want to improve our recruitment process
Building successful processes that last is essential to team growth in the long run. It’s wise to consider bringing in external expertise to ensure this is done correctly. While some consultancies may advise on process without delivering on your hiring goals, Talentful provides a unique blend of tactical recruitment delivery, strategic process building and long-term planning.
We need extra support for our in-house team
It’s a common misconception that internal teams and external support are at odds with each other. At Talentful, we find that working with internal teams often creates the best results, as it allows us to combine our external expertise and specialised knowledge with the internal and cultural understanding of your in-house team. Our unique embedded approach means that our consultants work incredibly closely with existing team members to maximise results.
We want to keep the hiring bar high
Often, when hiring at scale or at pace, the quality of incoming candidates can drop. With pricing structures based around quick results, many recruitment partners are incentivised to hire the first candidate they engage, rather than the best candidate. By eliminating commission and focusing on quality long-term partnerships, we’re incentivised to deliver you the very best talent in the market.
We want to reduce our recruitment costs
Talentful partners save, on average, almost 50% versus a traditional agency model. This is because, rather than taking commission on individual roles, we focus on building strong partnerships that deliver ROI over time. Many of our partners even find that our model is more cost-effective over time than increasing the capacity of their in-house team.
