Testimonials

Our Client Stories

VP

Veronica Peshterianu

COO @ System Era Softworks

We had a fantastic experience working with Talent SDK for tough-to-fill roles at a time when candidates were scarce and offers extremely competitive. They listened to our needs, worked within our constraints, and were able to deliver top-notch candidates that would've been impossible to find on our own. We successfully filled our highest needs positions in a matter of weeks, and at least one that had been open for almost a year. We're extremely happy with our experience and are looking forward to working with Talent SDK for future hires.

Eric Danker

Head of Technology - Riot Games - Fmr SVP of Engineering @ Yuga Labs

They are hungry, focused, customer-oriented, and ultimately, and most importantly, they make the hire. The recruiting space is filled with groups that talk a big game, but ultimately struggle to deliver the quality of candidates successful organizations demand. If you’re looking to fill acritical role and you need confidence that not only you’ll fill the role, but you’ll do it with the right candidate, you should talk to Talent SDK.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Talent SDK differ from other recruitment agencies?

Comprised of former internal recruiters, we bring a true partnership approach to our work. From our contract structure, strategic approach, reporting, and talent delivery - our core is built on trust and transparency to provide the best to our clients.

How do contracts work?

Being former internal recruiters ourselves, we were tired of the percentage-based fees and contracts that prioritize dates over performance that populate the agency recruitment world. Instead, we offer a flat-fee structure with a performance-based payout structure.

How does your recruitment process work?

We start with an in-depth intake process that gives us more insight into your organization and the key experience you’re looking for in a hire. From there we do a calibration exercise to align on the exact archetype of candidate that would make a successful hire. With deep research and customized outreach, we build a pipeline of qualified candidates for consideration and have a white-gloved approach to managing candidate relationships until the placement is made.

Am I tied to your process?

No, we tailor our approach to what works best for you and your team. That said, we have proven methodologies that yield the best results, and we will advise you accordingly. Have a preferred communication channel outside of email (Slack/Discord/Teams/Etc.)?  No problem. Do you need us to create a framework to streamline interview feedback from your team? Done. Do you want to skip the lengthy candidate paperwork and just receive a resume and high-level bullets? No problem, we’re adaptable and will work with your team to get the job done.
