About Talento Consulting .ai
We started in the agency world, sharpened across multiple disciplines, then stepped inside organisations to run talent from within. That full cycle experience — agency grit meets internal understanding — is what makes us different. And the belief that getting hiring right changes lives is what keeps us going.
IQS™ wasn't a product we planned. It was the answer to a problem we'd lived for decades and we built it because nobody else had.
Our story
Talento wasn't born in a boardroom. It started in the thick of it sitting inside organisations, running internal talent functions, learning every discipline from finance and operations to marketing and commercial. That breadth gave us something most specialist recruiters don't have: genuine range, and an understanding of how businesses actually work.
As the tech economy accelerated, so did our focus. GTM, Product, Engineering the disciplines that define whether a tech company scales or stalls. We narrowed in, built deep networks, and developed the kind of market knowledge that only comes from being present for thousands of hiring conversations over years, not months.
Immersive tech was a natural extension spatial computing, XR, the infrastructure of tomorrow. The same problems existed there: misaligned roles, under-qualified briefs, and candidates assessed on proxies rather than real capability. Same problem. Same answer. Better tools.
What drives us
Innovation isn't just something our clients do it's in the DNA of how we operate. We build tools, question processes, and refuse to accept that "this is just how recruiting works." Because it doesn't have to.
We don't just recruit for tech companies we operate like one. Constantly questioning, building, iterating. IQS™ exists because we asked "what if we actually fixed this?" and then went and did it.
Recruiting is a deeply human act. Behind every role is a team with a vision. Behind every CV is a person with ambitions. We never lose sight of that no matter how much we automate around it.
A placement isn't a close. It's the start of something a career step, a team being built, a company finding its footing. We measure ourselves by what happens after the offer letter, not before.
Our proudest moment
We'd seen the same failure repeat across hundreds of engagements: roles that were poorly scoped, candidates who were poorly understood, and matches made on gut feel and speed. Friction everywhere. Outcomes that disappointed everyone.
So we built IQS™ not as a product, but as the answer to a problem we knew intimately. A system that qualifies both sides before a single meeting is booked. Role intelligence. Candidate intelligence. True matching.
It's our proudest achievement not because it's clever technology, but because it genuinely works. It removes friction. It finds the real match. And it's built into everything we do.
Explore IQS™The impact
The best part of this job has never been filling roles. It's watching what happens after. Careers that shifted. Teams that found their rhythm. Companies that found the people who helped them get where they were trying to go.
From first GTM hire at Seed to scaling engineering orgs at Series C and beyond. We've been the talent partner through funding rounds, pivots, market expansions, and IPOs. The companies that keep coming back aren't doing it out of habit they're doing it because it works.
We've placed people in roles that changed their career trajectory and we know it, because we stay in touch. The IQS™ candidate dashboard wasn't built for us. It was built for them: so they can see where they stand, what they're capable of, and what to aim for next.
A job isn't just a job. It's how someone spends most of their waking hours. It shapes confidence, security, ambition. When we get a hire right really right we know the ripple effect goes well beyond the company. That's why we care so much about getting it right.
