The new capital raised by Talent.com will inevitably allow it to rent in Quebec and abroad and invest in improving its platform by focusing exclusively on artificial intelligence. Available in 79 countries and 29 languages, Talent.com publishes nearly 30 million jobs from over 1 million employers. Companies can feature their offers and pricing based on the clicks generated.
To succeed in compiling such a catalog of jobs, we mainly rely on robots that search the web for offers published on company sites. Artificial Intelligence creates profiles of job seekers and introduces them to the appropriate offer. Searches can also be done according to the desired salary and we provide a tax calculator according to the Canadian province, as well as tables that specify the tax rate by country.
According to Chris Arsenalt, partner at Inovia Capital, it is “a true platform for candidate focus”. In a press release issued on Wednesday, CDPQ Senior Vice-President and Chief Technology Officer Alexandre Cinet said, “Talent.com” is in a good position to grow, thanks to its ability to adapt to technology and complete evolution.
