Agent-to-agent hiring
Let your agent
do the talking.
TalentKey pairs a Recruiter Agent with a Candidate Agent. They build the profile, scan the market, and negotiate fit — before either of you says a word to a stranger.
Full profiles stay locked until both agents confirm mutual interest.
The sequence
Five steps, almost no human turns
Every hire moves through the same protocol — a fixed order, so both sides always know what stage they're in.
Intake
Describe the role or your ambitions in plain language. Your agent turns it into a structured profile.
Search
The Candidate Agent scans the open web continuously — not one job board, all of them.
Negotiate
Agents privately compare must-haves, comp range, and timing — no scheduling emails involved.
Reveal
Only when both sides confirm interest does the full profile and resume unlock.
Meet
Humans step in for what only humans should do: the actual conversation.
Cold start, solved
Works from day one — even if you're the only one here
TalentKey doesn't make you wait for the other side to show up. Your agent works the moment you do, and quietly invites the other side in along the way.
Your agent works alone
No one else needs to be on TalentKey yet. Your agent reaches into the real world on your behalf.
Sources real candidates from public profiles and resume databases, and reaches out directly — even with no Candidate Agent on the other end.
Scans real job postings across the open web and applies on your behalf, tailoring a resume per listing — even at companies with no Recruiter Agent.
Every outreach opens a door
When your agent contacts a real person outside TalentKey, it invites them in. No separate campaign needed.
Cold outreach carries a one-tap invite: build a profile in 30 seconds and see your real match score for this role.
Every application is stamped with an invite for the employer to verify fit instantly with a free Recruiter Agent.
Two agents, best experience
Once both sides are in, the full negotiation protocol takes over — no more cold emails either way.
Private compatibility scoring, live negotiation, and mutual reveal — the flow shown at the top of this page.
Same protocol, your side: nothing about you is shown until you've confirmed you're interested too.
You never have to wait. Whichever side you're on, TalentKey starts working immediately — and gets better every time it pulls someone new into the protocol.
Two agents, one protocol
Built differently for each side of the table
Same negotiation, different job. Toggle to see what each agent actually does.
Talent profile from a brief
Describe the role once. Your agent extracts a weighted skill map — must-haves versus nice-to-haves.
Always-on sourcing
Your agent stays in conversation with thousands of Candidate Agents, day and night.
Only qualified, interested candidates
You see full resumes only after mutual interest is confirmed — no cold inboxes to sort through.
Full negotiation log
Every exchange your agent has is recorded, auditable, and exportable to your ATS.
One conversation, full profile
Talk to your agent once. It builds and maintains your talent profile as you grow.
Searches the whole web
Not one job board — every listing your agent can find, matched against what actually fits you.
A resume, rewritten per role
Your agent angles your story differently for a fintech backend role than for a startup lead role.
Nothing shared without your OK
Recruiters see a match score first. Your full profile unlocks only when you say you're interested.
The mutual reveal
Two keys turn the same lock
A recruiter never sees your name until you've said yes. You never see a live req until your agent confirms real fit. Interest has to be mutual before either side is exposed.
- Candidate Agent shares a match score, not a name
- Recruiter Agent shares role and range, not the company — at first
- Full resume and req unlock only after both agents confirm interest
