Renasens is on a mission to reshape the future of textile recycling. Backed by years of research, they’ve developed a scalable, waterless technology that transforms blended fabrics into high-quality fibers - without compromising on sustainability or performance.
To bring that innovation to life, they’re building an entirely new technical team from the ground up.
Why Talentium became the key sourcing tool
Renasens is hiring across a wide spectrum of technical expertise - from lab technicians to researchers to engineers. But what makes their search uniquely difficult is that many of the roles they’re hiring for… don’t officially exist yet.
As a deep-tech startup, they’re looking for candidates with highly specific skills, often developed in other industries or in academia. These are people working on similar challenges, but under different titles - making them nearly impossible to find using traditional tools.
Before Talentium, Renasens relied on recruiters and their investor network. While that occasionally helped, it wasn’t scalable. They needed to stay close to the process to evaluate not just technical skills, but also personal chemistry and startup readiness. And over time, the cost of external support became hard to justify.
“We’re such a small team, and we know best what we need. It’s faster and more accurate when we’re close to the process ourselves.”
Nora Eslander, COO at Renasens
With Talentium, they found a sourcing tool built for exactly this kind of search. Its flexible filters and skill-first approach helped them look beyond titles - and uncover candidates who might never have shown up otherwise.
At the same time, they’re also using Talentium’s career site to promote roles and attract inbound applicants. Having both sourcing and inbound workflows in one platform helps them stay organized, move quickly, and stay in control of the entire process.
“The most innovative companies are building roles that don’t have titles yet. That’s why we’ve built Talentium to search beyond labels - so teams like Renasens can find the people who will shape the future.”
Sebastian Hjärne, CEO at Talentium
Early results and strong momentum
Since they started using Talentium, Renasens has already surfaced candidates they didn’t expect to find - especially in niche technical areas. The tool gives them a clearer picture of what types of backgrounds and education paths are relevant, helping them build smarter hiring strategies from the start.
☑ They’ve discovered high-potential profiles quickly
☑ Learned what skills to prioritize when titles don’t match
☑ Reached out directly without needing to jump between tools
In one search, they got a match so accurate it felt almost uncanny:
“I searched for something incredibly niche, and the founder of our company doing exactly this came up. That wouldn’t have happened anywhere else.”
Recruitment that just works
Talentium didn’t require hours of onboarding or training. The interface is simple, the functions are clear, and everything just works.
Renasens plans to rely even more on Talentium as their hiring scales up. With several strong candidates already in motion, the platform is already delivering value - and they’re excited to see what more it will bring.
“Make sure to really use the platform and all its features, it’ll make your recruitment process way more efficient than trying to do it all on your own.”
Renasens is just getting started - but with Talentium by their side, they’re building the team that will power the future of circular fashion.
