Researchers lived in it. Partners pulled their client reports from it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are retiring it on 1 January 2027, after completing the migration of our client base to Talentis. If you&#8217;re looking for FileFinder now, Talentis is what we&#8217;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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What you&#8217;ll recognize\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The things people liked about FileFinder are still there:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Records organized around people and assignments, the way retained search actually works\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Outlook and browser addins, so you aren&#8217;t copying notes between windows\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reports you can send straight to a client<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Support from people who understand executive search, not a general helpdesk\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What&#8217;s different\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FileFinder was a database you filled. Talentis does that job and also goes looking for people.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentis.global\/recruitment-software\/features\/agentic-web-search\/\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Agentic web search<\/a>.<\/strong> Describe the role and Talentis searches the public web, beyond your own records, for people who fit.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentis.global\/recruitment-software\/passive-candidate-sourcing-software\/\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Passive candidate sourcing<\/a>.<\/strong> Find the senior people who aren&#8217;t on job boards and often don&#8217;t answer LinkedIn messages either.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Chrome extension.<\/strong> Save a profile from a web page into Talentis without retyping it.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Nothing to install or host.<\/strong> It runs in the browser.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who it&#8217;s for\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Talentis is built for retained executive search firms, from one-person boutiques to multi-office teams, and for in-house executive search teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your firm mostly does high-volume contingent recruitment, a general recruitment ATS will probably suit you better.
