// Overview

One place for the entire placement workflow.

TalentAI is a technical recruiting platform focused on LATAM talent. It brings together AI sourcing, real skill verification, the candidate pipeline and the business side —clients, fees, warranties and invoices— in a single product.

// The problem

Technical recruiters work blind, across five tabs.

The process is scattered across Excel, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and GitHub. Nobody has the full picture, and technical evaluation comes down to reading a résumé.

5apps
Fragmented stack
Pipeline in Excel, conversations in WhatsApp, sourcing on LinkedIn and manual evaluation on GitHub.
USD 170/mo
Expensive tools
Premium sourcing platforms are simply too costly for small LATAM agencies.
CV≠ skill
Weak signal
Candidates show up without verifiable technical evidence and don't make it past the first interview.

// Solution

A product that evaluates, not just stores.

We designed and built a recruiting CRM where AI does the heavy lifting —finding, ranking and verifying— and recruiters make decisions backed by real evidence from the candidate's code.

Semantic search
Recruiters describe the role in plain language; the system understands intent, not keywords.
Verified proof of work
Analysis of the candidate's actual GitHub: stack, commits, contributions and code quality.
Built-in business operations
Clients, multi-currency fees, 30/60/90-day warranties and invoices within the same workflow.
Actionable pipeline
Four clear stages with alerts and dashboards, instead of a shared spreadsheet.

// AI sourcing

How the agent finds and ranks candidates.

Sourcing stops being a keyword search and becomes a query about real capabilities.

01
Natural-language query
“Senior backend engineer with Go and Kubernetes, LATAM time zone.”
02
Semantic search
The engine interprets the role and expands to equivalent technologies and profiles.
03
Technical scoring
Every candidate gets an explainable score, not a black box.
04
Actionable shortlist
The recruiter receives a short list with the evidence behind it.
TalentAI job search with location filters and the match percentage between the profile and each opening.

// Candidate verification

The code is the résumé.

Instead of trusting what's claimed, TalentAI reads the candidate's public activity and turns it into a comparable signal: languages actually used, commit frequency, project contributions and quality patterns.

  • GitHub API integration
  • Stack detected from real usage, not a self-reported list
  • Commit and contribution history
  • Proof of work ready to present to the client

// Recruitment pipeline

Four stages, zero ambiguity.

The whole team looks at the same board and knows exactly what comes next.

01
Pre-candidate
Surfaced by the agent, pending human validation.
02
Candidate
Verified and presented to the client with their proof of work.
03
Hiring
In interviews and negotiation.
04
Placement
Hired. Fees, warranty and invoice kick in.

// AI Fluency

How well the candidate works with AI.

An evaluation dimension unique to the product: not just what the candidate can build, but how they leverage AI tools in their day-to-day work.

—
Usage signals
Evidence of work with AI-assisted tools and workflows.
—
Claimed vs. observed level
What the candidate says is checked against what their activity shows.
—
Readout for the client
Presented as a comparable attribute within the profile.

// Builder Hub

A LATAM talent community, not a database.

The Builder Hub brings together the region's verified profiles and gives them a place where their real work does the talking.

—
Verified profiles
Talent with validated proof of work, ready to present.
—
Regional focus
Built around the context and time zones of LATAM.

[METRIC] — real data pending.

// Clients · Fees · Warranties

The admin side is part of the product too.

A placement doesn't end when the candidate signs. TalentAI models the full business operation so recruiters don't have to track it outside the system.

  • Client and agreement management
  • Multi-currency fees
  • 30 / 60 / 90-day warranties
  • Invoices and payment tracking
  • Alerts for due dates and status changes

// Process

How we built a SaaS with many moving parts.

The challenge wasn't a screen, it was a system: sourcing, verification, pipeline and business operations had to fit together without becoming an unusable product.

01
Discovery
Understanding the craft
We mapped how a technical recruiter actually works and where their process breaks down.
  • Map of the current workflow across 5 tools
  • Definition of the four pipeline stages
  • Prioritization: what goes into the first version
02
Design
Product & UX/UI
Information architecture first, interface second. Dense tables that stay readable.
  • Product information architecture
  • Design system and components
  • Scoring and technical evidence patterns
03
Development
Frontend & AI
Built in Next.js with the AI layer and the integrations that provide the real signal.
  • Semantic search integration
  • GitHub API integration
  • Pipeline, client and fee views
04
Product
Live beta
Launched a private beta with real recruiters and continuously tuned the scoring.
  • Private beta with real users
  • Scoring tuned with feedback
  • [RESULT] — next milestone
