Talend Leverages Internal Talent to Reach Employment Brand Celebrity Status

In a rapidly growing company, it’s not enough to just hire quickly — you also have to hire the best of the best. Talend’s recruiting team knew that in order to do this, they would have to take their employment brand and candidate experience to the next level. Talend, a Bay Area-based software company, aims to simplify Big Data. Talend offers brands powerful integration software that enables them to gain instantly actionable insight into their organization, customers, and processes. And, given that big data is one of the fastest-growing markets in the world, Talend’s headcount is increasing at an exponential rate — the company already has over 500 employees based in the US, Europe, and Asia, and they expect to add substantially more in the upcoming year. But for sustainable, company-wide growth, it’s not enough to merely increase headcount. “Companies today aren’t just in a competition for talent, but for the best talent,” says Jon Stanners, Global Talent Acquisition Leader at Talend. And to do that, brands can’t just tell candidates how great it is to work there — they have to show them.
