TalentUnlocked

TalentUnlocked is a marketplace connecting specialist recruitment agencies with employers, without the PSL or procurement gatekeeping. You get a steady flow of relevant roles you're genuinely equipped to fill, winning work based on specialism and quality of service rather than the best relationship with procurement. Employers get vetted, sector-specific expertise without the hassle of managing a dozen supplier relationships.

TalentUnlocked simplifies this by connecting employers with specialist recruitment agencies through a single, transparent marketplace.

TalentUnlocked gives employers access to specialist recruiters with deep sector knowledge, mapped talent communities and the expertise to target the right people effectively. Employers benefit from agency insight and networks without the inefficiencies of managing multiple supplier relationships.

For agencies, TalentUnlocked delivers a constant flow of live, relevant roles, giving them the pipeline they have always wanted without the need for traditional business development.

Zero cost to join. Zero cost to use. You only pay when you place a candidate.

Agencies compete on specialism and quality of service rather than on who has the best relationship with procurement, meaning the roles they receive are ones they are genuinely equipped to fill.

TalentUnlocked was co-founded by Simon Smith, one of the founders of Investigo and JSS Search, alongside a board chaired by Shaun McCabe, current CFO of Tide Bank, formerly of Amazon, ASOS and Trainline. Built by leaders with first-hand experience of the recruitment market, the platform addresses the longstanding inefficiencies experienced by both employers and agencies, bringing greater transparency, speed and specialism to how talent is hired.
