What Talenttech does

TalentTech is a private talent acquisition (TA) technology consulting firm founded in 2020 by Scott Allan in Australia. The firm provides independent advisory and delivery services across the full TA technology lifecycle: tech stack design and vendor selection, end-to-end implementation, system integration (including custom integrations and AI agent builds), and ongoing maintenance and improvement under a TOps-as-a-Service model. TalentTech is vendor-neutral by design and serves enterprise clients globally, with publicly cited work spanning retail (Baby Bunting, Tesco), healthcare (HCA, DHSV), pharmaceutical (Novo Nordisk), insurance (IAG), professional services (KPMG, Bravura), F&B (Lion), social services (Aruma), and non-profit (YMCA).

The firm's core technology proposition is its practitioners' expertise, not proprietary software. TalentTech specialises in implementing and optimising third-party talent platforms including SmartRecruiters (where it holds global SAP Partner status and is the most experienced delivery partner worldwide with 75+ projects and a 4.9/5 customer rating), Avature, Gloat, PageUp, and Phenom. Underlying technical work includes systems build, project and change management, integration design and development, testing, and automation. A distributed team of 10+ consultants across Melbourne (Australia), the United Kingdom, and Hyderabad (India) executes engagements, supplemented by strategic partnerships with Cielo Talent for Asia Pacific rollouts and SmartRecruiters for global delivery.

Commercially, TalentTech operates as a professional services firm with quote-based, project- or retainer-priced engagements tailored to client scope. Revenue is generated through consulting hours, fixed-fee implementation projects, and recurring TOps-as-a-Service retainers. Go-to-market is sales-led and enterprise-focused, with significant lead flow coming through vendor partnership referrals. The horizontal segmentation approach — selling across industries rather than specialising by vertical — combined with the firm's self-described "balanced" People/Process/Technology methodology, anchors its positioning as a vendor-independent implementation specialist rather than a software vendor or RPO.
