About us

Talentor is an executive search and recruitment organisation for middle and upper management positions. We are one of the world’s top 40 executive search networks with independent partners around the globe.
How it all began!

20 years Talentor International!

Talentor, established in 2003 in Finland, originated from collaboration between two partners who initially forged connections with executive search firms in the Nordics and Baltics. In 2012, the Austrian company epunkt - the biggest recruitment agency in Austria - acquired the Talentor structure, which comprised 12 partners across various countries. Over the last 10 years, we have expanded and refined our network, introducing new countries and making strategic partner changes. As of 2024, Talentor spans 34 countries, and our ambitious goal is to further grow and reach 50 partners by 2026!

Our mission is clear: to fulfill nearly 95% of all client requests on an international scale through our extensive network of local partners. By strategically expanding our reach and collaborating with partners worldwide, we ensure unparalleled global coverage for seamless and effective service delivery to our clients.

What does it need to manage an international network?

A passionate team that cares!

At Talentor, we pride ourselves on having an in-house team exclusively dedicated to driving growth, integrating new partners, and providing ongoing support to our active members. This sets us apart from other networks, as we have a stable management team committed to these responsibilities on a full-time basis. Unlike networks with constantly changing leadership, our team focuses entirely on the crucial tasks of growth and continuous development. We offer targeted support to our partners, addressing strategic, sales, and marketing challenges with precision and expertise.

Regular partner virtual meetings, two physical meetings a year, newsletters, and a network intranet help share important information, industry insights, and best practices across the network.
  • Technology and Artificial Intelligence: We work to leverage state-of-the-art technology to streamline communications, share resources, and provide updates to all network partners. This includes a centralized information sharing platform, project management tools and collaboration technologies. In addition, we have launched an “AI Masterclass” that aims to promote knowledge sharing and skills development among our members. This initiative equips participants with the essential tools to leverage the latest advances in artificial intelligence in the recruiting industry and ultimately increase their efficiency and effectiveness.
  • Quality Assurance Measures: We enforce strict quality assurance measures across the network. Our quality standards
  • Data Security: Given the importance of data security, we implement robust measures to safeguard sensitive information. Partners are educated and provided with resources to adhere to the highest standards of information security, cybersecurity, and privacy protection.

This allows us to quickly respond to market changes, emerging trends, and the evolving needs of our clients and partners. We implemented a program for future leaders in our industry, to exchange and learn from best practices. Talentor Leaders4tomorrow program
