What Talenter does

Talenter is a Portuguese HR services company founded in 1999, headquartered in Carnaxide (Oeiras), and operating 14 physical store locations across mainland Portugal and Madeira. The company delivers an integrated portfolio of three core service lines: Trabalho Temporário (temporary staffing, including inhouse teams embedded at client sites), Recrutamento e Seleção Especializado (fee-based permanent and long-term placement), and Formação Profissional through the Talenter Learning brand (sector-specific training academies covering Contact Center, Hotelaria, Logística, Indústria, and Construção Civil, with claimed near-100% graduate employability rates).

Talenter serves enterprise clients across five industry verticals—Hospitality, Industry, Logistics, Construction, and Administrative Services/Retail—with named customers including DPD Portugal, Mota-Engil, SANA Hotels, Pestana Hotel Group, Pine Cliffs Resort, Corinthia Hotels, Vila Galé, Stellantis, Dachser, Alliance Healthcare, Recipharm, and ID Logistics. Disclosed operational metrics are 500,000 candidates in the database, 650 active clients, 4,500 talents actively placed or managed, and €68 million in annual volume of business. The technology stack is non-proprietary: no platform, API, or app is disclosed; service delivery relies on the candidate database, recruitment processes, and the training academies.

Commercially, Talenter operates a sales-led GTM with enterprise field-sales account managers, a candidate-facing self-serve job board, and the Eurotemps European consortium (360+ partner agencies) for cross-border distribution. Revenue is generated primarily through temporary staffing mark-ups, recruitment placement fees, and training program fees—all quote-based and non-publicly disclosed. As of September 2025, Talenter became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grupo Constant Portugal following a 100% capital acquisition, and was rebranded to "Talenter – Human Performance" in February 2025. It remains part of the Wellow Network ecosystem (€120M group volume, 8,000+ active workers, 1,000 enterprise clients group-wide) and maintains ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications.
