Stockholm, Sweden – May 8, 2025
Talentium, a next-generation AI-powered hiring platform, announces its official launch with a bold mission: to fix what recruitment tech got wrong.
“We're creating the new standard for how teams are built”
said Sebastian Hjärne, CEO and Founder of Talentium.
The problem: people have been treated like processes
Despite decades of innovation, most recruitment tools still follow the logic of manufacturing, with rigid pipelines, Kanban boards, and KPIs that reward speed over quality. This approach leads to broken candidate experiences, overwhelmed recruiters, and rushed hiring decisions.
Legacy recruitment platforms are being rebranded with AI overlays, often by placing a chat interface on top of outdated systems. But surface level updates don’t fix the real issue. These tools are still built around pipelines, not people. “These tools create noise instead of clarity,” Hjärne added.
Talentium’s approach: human centered, AI powered
Talentium brings the focus back to the people, by using advanced AI to streamline the process while keeping humans at the core.
Here’s how it works
- Top matches in one prompt: Talentium instantly finds and matches top candidates based on what teams actually need, not just keywords. With unmatched speed and precision, it helps companies discover the right people from across the web and your own network faster than ever before.
- Better decisions through enriched data: Talentium automatically enriches candidate profiles with data from across the web, offering deeper insights into skills, experience, and potential. This means hiring decisions can be made with confidence, not guesswork.
- Efficiency through automation: From scheduling and reminders to candidate coordination, Talentium automates the busywork. Recruiters spend less time on admin and more time building real connections.
“Our goal was simple. Build a product that helps recruiters spend less time in systems and more time with people”
Hjärne added.
Early results: faster, better hiring
Companies like Kleer, Mynt, Karma and Yazen are already using Talentium to improve hiring outcomes. Zellify hired a world class engineer in under a week. Brightmill cut their recruitment costs by 70 percent while improving candidate quality.
"When I saw the demo for the first time, I thought it was one of the coolest things I'd ever seen"
said Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO of Klarna and investor in Talentium.
