Who Is Talengix?
We are a group of subject matter experts who share a common mindset that recruiters who specialize in a narrow technology niche offer significantly more value to businesses than those who simply generalize in IT. We believe in doing one thing very well, rather than trying to be everything to everybody.
As a network comprised of specialists in all of today’s trending technologies, Talengix offers businesses a one-stop resource for attaining niche recruiting expertise across a wide spectrum of technology requirements. Our network includes numerous independent search consultants representing the search industry’s most highly regarded niche recruiters.
Kevin Jenkins founded Talengix in 2009 and manages our recruiter network. Kevin's personal niche is web technology, specifically open source programming languages and web development frameworks (e.g., Ruby/Ruby On Rails, Python/Django, and PHP/Zend).
Other niches represented by recruiters in our network include:
- Various OS flavors
- Various database technologies
- ERP systems
- .NET framework
- J2EE framework
- Healthcare IT
- Mobile technology
Why Talengix Makes Sense
Our goal is always to provide maximum value to our clients. That means providing you with the right technical talent, in the right place, at the right time. Accomplishing this requires having the best niche recruiters in the industry working on your searches.
Simply put, the best recruiters do not work for salaries in agency “silos.” They are far too successful to do so. Yet the best recruiters are exactly who we want working on your searches. So instead of building an in-house team of mediocre recruiters, we are reaching out to the best recruiters in the business — wherever they are.
To do so requires replacing the traditional agency business model with a superbly managed, dynamic network of independent and highly specialized recruiters who can bring the niche recruiting advantage to every search we perform for you.
