Construit in Europa, pentru Europa
Am creat Talentika pentru ca recrutarea din Europa Centrala si de Sud-Est merita o platforma care intelege cu adevarat regiunea — limbile, reglementarile si talentul de aici.
From Bucharest to the continent
Founded in Romania in 2023, Talentika was born out of frustration with recruitment tools that ignored European regulations, forced English-only workflows, and treated AI as a black box.
Our founders — engineers, researchers, and HR veterans — set out to build the ATS they always wanted: one where AI is explainable, bias is actively audited, and every language in the region is a first-class citizen.
Today, Talentika serves companies across Romania, Bulgaria, and Greece, helping them hire smarter, faster, and fairer — while staying fully compliant with GDPR and the EU AI Act.
What we stand for
Four principles that guide every product decision
Innovation First
We push the boundaries of what AI can do for recruitment — from explainable scoring to real-time anti-fraud detection.
Radical Transparency
Every AI decision comes with a clear explanation. No black boxes, no hidden logic — candidates and employers deserve to know why.
EU Compliance Native
GDPR, EU AI Act, and local data-protection laws are baked in from day one — not bolted on as an afterthought.
Candidate Experience
Recruitment should respect people. Our platform ensures fairness, dignity, and a seamless journey for every applicant.
EU AI Act — Ready by Design
Recruitment AI is classified as “high-risk” under the EU AI Act. Talentika was architected from day one to meet these requirements — not retrofitted.
Explainable AI
Every score, every recommendation comes with a human-readable rationale.
Regular Bias Audits
Quarterly third-party audits ensure our models treat all demographics fairly.
Human Oversight
AI assists decisions — humans make them. Always.
Data Protection
End-to-end encryption, EU-only data residency, full GDPR compliance.
