What Talenthub does

Talenthub is a Danish SaaS company founded in 2017 in Copenhagen that provides candidate experience analytics to enterprise and mid-market recruitment teams. Its platform collects candidate and hiring manager feedback throughout the recruitment funnel and surfaces it through dashboards covering Candidate NPS, Hiring Team Performance, Withdrawn Candidates, Employer Branding, and Diversity & Inclusion metrics. The technical stack centers on survey-based feedback collection, ATS/HRIS data aggregation via integrations with Greenhouse, SmartRecruiters, SAP SuccessFactors, Workday, and Lever, and an NLP-driven AI Comment Analysis module that processes open-text candidate responses.

The company operates on a subscription-based SaaS model with custom, quote-based enterprise pricing and a hybrid go-to-market combining direct enterprise field sales (demo requests, personalized tours) with self-serve platform access for existing customers. Its marketing motion is content-led, anchored by blog content, webinars, eBooks, a Hiring Benchmarks Report, and a revenue-cost calculator for demand generation. Primary customer segments are enterprise recruitment teams and HR operations leaders focused on data-driven hiring optimization.

In September 2023, Talenthub merged with Dutch candidate experience analytics firm Starred, consolidating operations under the Starred.com brand while continuing to operate the Talenthub Analytics Platform for existing customers. The combined entity is positioned as a global leader in candidate-centric recruitment, backed by approximately $5.96M in disclosed funding across a 2020 round and a March 2022 $5M seed round led by Seed Capital.

Core offering

Talenthub is a SaaS analytics platform that helps companies measure and improve candidate experience throughout the recruitment process. It collects feedback through candidate and hiring manager surveys, applies AI-powered natural language analysis to open-ended comments, and delivers dashboards on metrics such as Candidate NPS, hiring team performance, withdrawn candidates, employer branding, and diversity & inclusion. The platform integrates with major ATS/HRIS systems and is sold via enterprise subscriptions; following the September 2023 merger with Starred, it now operates as part of Starred.com while the Talenthub Analytics product continues to serve existing customers.

Product overview

Talenthub (now merged with Starred.com) offers a unified candidate experience platform with three core products: Candidate Experience (measures and improves candidate experience), Hiring Manager Satisfaction (surveys hiring managers at scale), and Quality of Hire (ensures right people are hired). These products work together within the platform to provide comprehensive recruitment analytics. The platform also includes multiple features such as Candidate NPS, AI Comment Analysis, Hiring Team Performance, Withdrawn Candidates, Employer Branding, and Diversity & Inclusion. Following the merger in September 2023, Talenthub operates as part of Starred.com, with the Talenthub Analytics platform continuing to provide uninterrupted access to data, surveys, dashboards, and support.

Direct peers

• Starred (Talenthub's merger partner): Starred is the Dutch candidate experience analytics platform that merged with Talenthub in September 2023; it is the most direct comparable given identical product category (candidate NPS, AI comment analysis, employer branding) and overlapping customer base. Now effectively the same entity operating under the Starred.com brand.
• Harver: Harver is a hiring solution providing pre-employment assessments, candidate matching, and recruitment analytics for enterprise employers. It competes with Talenthub's quality-of-hire and candidate experience measurement products in the same enterprise recruitment tech buyer category.
• HireVue: HireVue offers video interviewing, assessments, and AI-driven hiring analytics used by enterprise recruitment teams. Its candidate evaluation and hiring intelligence capabilities overlap with Talenthub's quality of hire and candidate experience analytics, particularly for large employers.
• Survale: Survale is a candidate experience management platform that automates candidate, hiring manager, and recruiter feedback surveys. It is one of the closest direct competitors to Talenthub, targeting the same enterprise recruitment teams with comparable NPS and analytics tooling.

Broad incumbents

• iCIMS: iCIMS is an established enterprise talent acquisition platform offering ATS, candidate relationship management, and candidate experience tools. It competes broadly with Talenthub's enterprise recruitment analytics, though as a full-suite incumbent rather than a specialized analytics layer.
• Phenom People: Phenom is an enterprise talent experience platform providing candidate experience, recruitment marketing, and talent CRM capabilities. It overlaps with Talenthub's employer branding and candidate experience measurement, but as a much broader HR technology suite.
• Eightfold AI: Eightfold AI provides AI-powered talent intelligence, recruitment, and workforce planning for large enterprises. Its candidate matching and analytics capabilities overlap with Talenthub's quality of hire and employer branding analytics at a broader, AI-first scale.
• Greenhouse: Greenhouse is a leading enterprise ATS that Talenthub integrates with and that could natively absorb candidate experience analytics features. As both integration partner and competitive incumbent, it represents a strategic threat and a distribution channel simultaneously.

Emerging players

• Employee Referrals / Teamable: Teamable is an employee referral and recruitment CRM platform with analytics on referral pipeline quality. While narrower than Talenthub, it addresses the adjacent problem of recruitment funnel analytics and candidate quality measurement for talent acquisition teams.

Regional players

• Workable: Workable is an ATS and recruitment platform with built-in candidate experience features (candidate ratings, scorecards). It competes in the same horizontal SaaS recruitment space but primarily serves SMB and mid-market, whereas Talenthub targets enterprise — making it more of a regional/scale-tier peer.
