About us
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.
