Joaquin Titievsky, CEO at Talentum, Why AI Recruiters Are Making HR Firms 50% Faster

What happens when AI stops optimizing the recruiting process and starts replacing the parts that never needed a human in the first place? That's the question Joaquin Titievsky answered by building Talentum, an AI recruiting platform born from running an 80-client talent agency in Latin America and realizing the only way to scale was to stop hiring more recruiters. Talentum automates sourcing, outreach, screening, and interview scheduling so HR consulting firms can focus on the one thing AI still can't do: evaluating culture fit and soft skills. The result? 50% faster placements and more closed deals for the firms using it. We're building Human Cloud to solve the same problem from the company side, giving businesses a single front door to discover, compare, and deploy the right workforce solutions. Talentum makes the recruiters faster. Human Cloud makes the companies smarter about which recruiters to use. In this episode, Joaquin shares: Why resumes tell you who doesn't fit, not who does, and how that insight shaped Talentum's entire AI approach How HR consulting firms are using AI recruiters to close 50% more deals without hiring additional staff The case for building step by step toward a vision rather than trying to disrupt an enterprise's entire workflow on day one Why context-aware AI that understands "managed a 10K-person company" outperforms keyword-based tools like LinkedIn Recruiter How a 23-year-old founder in Argentina built a global recruiting platform with customers across the US and Europe, proving the flexible workforce works both ways Joaquin Titievsky is the CEO and co-founder of Talentum, an AI-powered recruiting platform serving HR consulting firms across the US and Europe. He started Talentum at age 20 as a talent agency in Argentina, grew it to 80+ clients and 100+ placements, then rebuilt it as an AI-first platform after seeing that manual recruiting couldn't scale.
