For a fast-growing startup like Zellify, hiring is a high-stakes challenge. With a lean team and competing priorities, recruitment often takes a backseat to product development, sales, and operations. They needed a way to find top talent quickly - without disrupting their momentum.
That’s where Talentium came in.
Finding the right talent without wasting time
Zellify wasn’t searching for just any engineer - they needed a 10x engineer. Someone who wasn’t actively applying for jobs, but who would stand out in any team, anywhere. Traditional hiring methods weren’t cutting it. Sifting through profiles, reaching out, and waiting for responses was slowing them down, making it difficult to stay ahead.
With Talentium’s AI-powered search and smart filtering, they could quickly identify a highly relevant pool of candidates without spending hours on manual searches. Instead of sorting through hundreds of profiles, they were instantly connected with the right people.
“As a startup, our most valuable resource is time and focus. Talentium has saved us an incredible amount of both.”
Marcus Persson, co-CEO and co-founder of Zellify
From Search to Hire in Record Time
One of the biggest challenges in hiring top-tier engineers is getting in touch with them. Many aren’t actively searching, and response times can be slow. Talentium solved this by providing direct access to candidate contact details, allowing Zellify to reach out immediately and start conversations without unnecessary delays.
By combining intelligent search with instant outreach, they moved through the hiring process at a pace that would have been impossible before. Within a week, they signed their hire.
“Startups can’t afford to waste valuable time on inefficient hiring. That’s why we’re building Talentium - to help companies like Zellify find the best talent in record time - so that they can focus on what really matters: growing their business.”
Sebastian Hjärne, CEO and Founder at Talentium
