Pelagic is a fast-growing company supporting expansion across the U.S. They are scaling quickly and hiring across a range of internal roles, from operations to supply chain leads. With multiple roles open at once and several stakeholders involved, staying aligned throughout the hiring process is key.
To bring structure and visibility to their recruitment efforts, Pelagic turned to Talentium.
A Smarter Way to Stay Aligned
Before Talentium, Pelagic relied on Slack threads and Excel sheets to manage candidate pipelines - an approach that quickly became difficult to scale.
“We were very scrappy. Tracking everything in Slack, manually keeping tabs on candidates on LinkedIn. It just wasn’t sustainable.” Liza Cohen, Ecosystem Manager at Pelagic
What they needed was a way to bring structure, visibility, and collaboration into one place. That’s exactly how they’re now using Talentium: to track every candidate across roles, view notes from different team members, and move applicants through a clearly defined process.
A Better ATS Experience
For Pelagic, Talentium’s value has been clearest in its applicant tracking capabilities. Whether a candidate was sourced via email, referred, or came through a job ad, they’re added into Talentium so the full team can stay aligned on next steps.
The team is using Talentium to manage hiring for their internal roles, and they are tracked entirely through the platform. The team especially appreciated the ability to:
- See interview notes across users
- Track status updates in real-time
- Collaborate across multiple stakeholders in one place
They also tested inbound hiring through Talentium’s career site, resulting in a stronger set of relevant applicants. Compared to “easy apply” tools, the quality was noticeably higher.
“We got a bunch of candidates, which was great. Talentium helped break down their profiles and added a level of filtering that really helped.”
Close Collaboration and Fast Iteration
Pelagic also praised Talentium’s responsiveness and product iteration. When they shared feedback on usability and sourcing, the Talentium team acted quickly - offering direct support and often shipping new features in response.
“The team is super responsive. We’ve seen them actually build the things we ask for. That level of collaboration is rare.”
Looking Ahead
As Pelagic continues to grow and needing to increase the team with critical hires, Talentium will remain part of their recruiting stack - especially as a tool to bring alignment to the hiring process.
They’re also excited about what’s next. With a more advanced search experience with the new upgrade, Pelagic sees even greater potential to not just track great candidates, but uncover them too.
“We’re building Talentium to be more than just a sourcing tool or just an ATS. It’s about giving fast-moving teams like Pelagic the clarity and control they need across the entire recruitment journey.” Sebastian Hjärne, CEO at Talentium
