Talentito - Consultant

We were contracted to build Talentito as a straightforward directory of vetted developers and designers. Our role was to translate the core business need – speeding up talent discovery – into a lean product roadmap and feature set focused on real portfolio work rather than resumes.

In practice, that meant:

• Defining a minimal viable product that surfaced key profile details (verified work history, portfolio links, hourly/project rates, client ratings) without overwhelming users.

• Designing search and filter functionality so hiring managers could quickly narrow candidates by tech stack, design specialty, experience level, timezone, rate, and availability.

• Architecting an in‑platform engagement workflow (messaging, calendar booking, interview scheduling) to eliminate manual coordination and reduce time‑to‑first-contact.

• Integrating with common hiring tools (ATS systems, Slack) to slot Talentito seamlessly into existing recruiting processes.

• Establishing pricing structures (subscription versus pay‑per‑hire) and quality controls (ongoing profile reviews, performance feedback loops) to maintain a reliable talent pool.

Talentito eventually offered companies a no‑nonsense way to skip job postings, cut through recruiter noise, and connect directly with pre‑screened technical and design talent.
