NOT A GENERAL MARKETPLACE — AI & GENAI ONLY

Hire AI talent you don't have to take on faith.

Talentzu doesn't do general recruiting. We verify people in three AI domains only — Agentic AI & GenAI, AI Infrastructure & LLMOps, and AI Trust & Security — so every sandbox challenge, reference check, and trust score is specific enough to actually mean something.

HOW TALENTZU WORKS

The 90-second version, in five scenes.

01 — THE PROBLEM

Anyone can claim five years of LLM experience.

Almost no one can prove it before you've already made the offer.

02 — THE VERIFICATION ENGINE

Five factors. One weighted score.

05 — READY TO HIRE

Verified. Scored. Ready.

Every profile you see has already cleared the engine — so your next step is a conversation, not a background check.

The problem
01 / 05
THE PROBLEM WITH LISTINGS

Anyone can list "5 years of LLM experience." Almost no one can prove it.

A profile marketplace
  • Skills are whatever the candidate typed in
  • Employment history is unverified by default
  • You screen, you interview, you find out too late
  • Every profile looks equally confident
Talentzu
  • Skills are graded in a live technical sandbox
  • Employment is confirmed directly with past employers
  • You see a weighted trust score before the first call
  • Gold, Silver, and Bronze badges tell you exactly what's been checked
THE VERIFICATION ENGINE

Five checks. One weighted score. No shortcuts.

Every candidate's trust score is a weighted composite of five independently verified factors. Nothing here is self-certified — each factor has its own evidence trail, visible on the profile.

01

Identity verification

Government ID matched against a document scan and a liveness check — confirming the person behind the profile is who they say they are.

20/ 100
02

Employment verification

Prior employers confirm dates and title directly with Talentzu — not taken from a resume, and not left for you to chase down.

25/ 100
03

Certification validation

Claimed certifications are checked directly with the issuing body, so a listed credential is never just a line of text on a profile.

15/ 100
04

Technical skill assessment

A live, timed sandbox challenge scored against real engineering criteria — the same bar whether the candidate is in Lagos, Bengaluru, or Berlin.

25/ 100
05

Reference verification

Named references are contacted directly to confirm the working relationship and role — not just listed as available on request.

15/ 100
PROOF OF SKILL

Skills are graded, not just claimed.

Before a "Technical skill assessment" checkmark ever appears on a profile, the candidate works through a timed sandbox challenge in their domain. This is the actual challenge served to Agentic AI & GenAI candidates.

TALENT DOMAINS

Three domains. Verified to the same standard.

Talentzu doesn't try to cover every technical discipline — it goes deep on three, so the sandbox challenges and reference checks stay specific enough to mean something.

Agentic AI & GenAI

Agent builders and applied GenAI engineers

From prompt & context engineering to multi-agent orchestration and evaluation.

LLM fine-tuning Agent orchestration Eval harnesses
AI Infrastructure & LLMOps

AI Trust & Security

Governance, risk, and compliance for AI systems

READING A PROFILE

What the badge on a profile actually tells you

Every candidate's tier reflects how much of the verification engine they've cleared — and how their trust score compares to the marketplace bar.

BRONZE VERIFIED

Listed and identity-checked

Identity is confirmed. Employment, skills, and references may still be in progress — check the profile's verification detail before moving fast.

SILVER VERIFIED

Trust score of 70 or higher

Most of the engine has cleared. A solid default for standard roles where you still want to run your own final interview loop.

GOLD VERIFIED

Trust score of 90 or higher

All five factors independently confirmed. This is the tier we'd point you to for anything client-facing or production-critical.

PORTABLE CREDENTIAL

Every verified profile becomes a portable ID.

Once a candidate clears the engine, their verification isn't locked inside our platform — it's issued as a shareable talent ID, sized like a real credit card, that they can carry to any conversation.

  • Front: identity, role, domain, and trust score at a glance
  • Back: all five verification stamps plus a signed, scannable record
  • True CR80 dimensions — real card size, not a digital-only badge

FROM HIRING TEAMS

What the trust score replaces

Four hiring teams, four verticals, the same problem: too much time spent finding out what was true after the offer, not before it.

"
We used to lose a week per hire just fact-checking resumes before the first interview. With Talentzu, the trust score does that work — we walk into round one already knowing what's real.

"
A candidate's profile said "agent orchestration expert." The sandbox score told a different story. That one check saved us from a bad senior hire — and from the six months it takes to notice a bad one.

"
Reference checks are the step everyone skips under deadline pressure. Talentzu runs them before the candidate ever reaches our desk, so we're not the ones deciding whether to cut the corner.

"
Our compliance team needs to know an AI governance hire understands regulatory risk, not just the vocabulary. Gold Verified is the first credential we've trusted enough to skip a second technical round.
