Talented

Talented is an international recruiting service that helps founders and entrepreneurs delegate day-to-day work by hiring experienced overseas professionals. The company runs a 14-day recruiting campaign, defining each role around the client’s responsibilities, desired experience, working style, and compensation range. Its team recruits across the Philippines, South Africa, and Latin America, then assesses candidates through background checks, skills tests, written work, and live interviews. Clients meet vetted finalists and choose whom to hire, with no payment due until they make a hire.

Talented places professionals in operations, executive assistance, customer success, sales support, marketing, paid advertising, bookkeeping, and technology. Depending on the role, hires can manage projects, processes, reporting, administration, client relationships, lead follow-up, campaigns, or AI tools and workflows. The selected person works directly for the client rather than being shared across multiple customers. Talented charges a one-time placement fee, while clients pay the hire directly without an ongoing salary markup.
