What Is Executive Search Software?

    How is Talentis different from other executive search software?

    Generally speaking, when you buy a legacy executive search software, it’s empty. Talentis comes with hundreds of million of profiles on tap – with virtually no data entry needed for any of them. It ensures you hit the ground running and dramatically reduces your time to value – by as much as 90%!

    Does Talentis executive search software support GDPR compliance?

    On what legal basis does Talentis collect information? 

    Talentis is based in Europe and, as a result, operates under the terms of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).

     

    We collect data on the basis of “Legitimate Interest”. The Talentis privacy policy contains further information. We also comply with the US-EU and US-Swiss Privacy Shield standards as well as individual US state law such as the CCPA.

     

    Data Protection is important to us and so one of our Directors has the EU GDPR P certification.

    Talentis is a true cloud, browser-based application.  The Chrome extension requires a modern Chromium-based browser, with Google Chrome being our recommendation.
