Built by engineers, for engineers. We're a small team of actual software engineers who've lived on both sides, getting hired and hiring, and we hated how much time it wasted and how little signal it produced. Talentsearch is the solution we want to use ourselves.
We're Leo, Ramon, and Micah. We founded Talentsearch because we got tired of the current hiring process and wanted to build a better one for everyone involved.
For years, we built teams at fast-moving startups and larger organizations. And the pattern was always the same:
Open a role → get flooded with hundreds of applications (in one search, we genuinely saw over 1,700).
Spend weeks sorting through noise: duplicated CVs, low-quality profiles, and increasingly AI-generated resumes.
Run the same screenings again and again, only to find out too late that the "great on paper" story didn't hold up in reality.
On the other side of the table, we felt it too. We've been the candidates sending dozens of applications, repeating the same interviews, getting ghosted, and wondering how a fair process can feel so random. Great engineers were getting lost in the pile, and great teams were making slow, risky hires.
Between us, we bring different perspectives: Micah spent two decades leading recruitment in Silicon Valley, Leo has built and hired international engineering teams, and Ramon has shipped products with reliability and security at the core. But we all came to the same conclusion: hiring should be clearer, more honest, and more human again.
That's why we founded Talentsearch. To reduce the noise, increase the signal, and make the process feel respectful again for everyone involved.
Our Vision
"Connecting potential with purpose."
Our Mission
"To eliminate resume-based hiring by enabling proof-based, trusted connections between engineers and employers."
Four hiring problems that waste time on both sides and what we do instead.
We believe in transparency and fairness. Read our commitment to candidates and employers.
We've built a process that respects both candidates and employers. Leo always says: "It's a win-win-win-situation."
Our core principles guide everything we do.
Roles include salary range, tech stack, location & visa from the start. You choose what fits.
