TALC Management

What TALC Management does

TALC Management is a Dubai-headquartered recruitment and headhunting firm specializing exclusively in the logistics, freight forwarding, and supply chain sectors. Founded in 2016 and operating with approximately 5 employees, the company sources candidates for executive and mid-level management roles, including Chief Operating Officer, Sales Manager, Business Development Manager, and Supply Chain Manager positions, on behalf of client organizations primarily in the UAE (Dubai and Abu Dhabi).

The firm's core platform is a web-based job board and candidate management system organized around ten specialized service verticals: freight and project forwarding, 3PL contract logistics, supply chain management (4PL), maritime and shipping, transportation, aviation chartering and brokerage, courier and express logistics, warehousing and distribution, removals and relocations, and ports and infrastructure. Each vertical has a dedicated landing page supporting candidate application and client enquiry, with a stated 96-hour profile review turnaround. No proprietary AI/ML technology, patents, or third-party integrations are evident.

TALC Management generates revenue through contingency-based recruitment placement fees on successful candidate hires, with compensation for placed candidates (e.g., AED 300,000–336,000 per annum for Sales Manager roles) set by client companies rather than by TALC. Go-to-market combines a sales-led direct engagement model for executive search with a direct-to-consumer job board for mid-level roles. The firm is privately held, has no disclosed funding history, no named enterprise customer logos, no partnerships, and operates exclusively within the UAE logistics talent market.
