If you used FileFinder at a search firm, or someone you trust still mentions it, you’ve found the right place. FileFinder has been retired. The team that built it for more than 30 years now builds Talentis.
For around three decades, FileFinder was the database behind over 1,000 executive search firms in more than 60 countries. Researchers lived in it. Partners pulled their client reports from it.
We are retiring it on 1 January 2027, after completing the migration of our client base to Talentis. If you’re looking for FileFinder now, Talentis is what we’d point you to. It comes from the same company and the same support team, and it starts from the same view of what a search firm needs.
The things people liked about FileFinder are still there:
FileFinder was a database you filled. Talentis does that job and also goes looking for people.
Talentis is built for retained executive search firms, from one-person boutiques to multi-office teams, and for in-house executive search teams.
If your firm mostly does high-volume contingent recruitment, a general recruitment ATS will probably suit you better. We’d rather say so now than after a demo.
Pricing is broadly comparable to FileFinder and is available on a SaaS basis.
If you still have a FileFinder database from years ago, a spreadsheet you’ve kept going since, or records in another system, talk to us. We’ve moved a lot of FileFinder data and can usually tell you quickly what’s possible.
