About

Built in Prague. Built because resume screening stops working at scale.

Talentiqa started in 2025 when the team experienced firsthand how manual resume review collapses under volume. We built the screening tool we wanted to use ourselves.

The Story

Why we built this.

Talentiqa was founded in Prague in 2025. The founding team came from HR technology, conversational AI research, and in-house talent operations. The combination of those backgrounds made the problem obvious: high-volume recruiting was still being solved by spending more recruiter hours on early-stage triage, not by improving the quality of the triage step.

The resume pile is not a data source. It is a formatting competition. Candidates who spend time polishing documents advance. Candidates who spend time doing the job do not necessarily have time to compete on document quality. That is a bad filter for finding people who will perform.

We started by asking whether a structured conversation, run consistently at scale, could give a recruiter better signal than a stack of resumes. The answer was yes. Talentiqa is the product built around that premise.

We are based at Rohansky ostrov, Prague, and we hire locally and remotely.

The Team

The people who built it.

Three people. Recruiting operations, language AI, and product.

Marek Dian

Marek spent years building automated candidate assessment systems and managing recruiting operations for high-volume hiring. He saw manual resume review break down the same way at every organization and set out to replace the bottleneck rather than work around it.

Petra's background is in dialogue systems and NLP pipelines, with years spent building conversational flows for customer-service automation. She leads the conversation engine and scoring methodology that powers Talentiqa's structured screening.

How We Work

Three things we hold to.

Consistency beats cleverness

A structured, repeatable process will outperform an inconsistent clever one over any meaningful sample. We build for reliability, not impressiveness.

Candidates are not a commodity

Every applicant who completes a conversation gave us time. We take that seriously. The screening process should be fair, transparent about purpose, and respectful of the person going through it.

The recruiter is still the decision-maker

Talentiqa surfaces better information, faster. The judgment call about who to advance is still yours. We are a screening tool, not a hiring system.
