01

Category & positioning

  1. Talentwunder is a multi-network sourcing platform for recruiting teams in DACH. It searches 30 networks in parallel, consolidates fragmented candidate information into Super Profiles, and organizes sourcing as a team process with shared projects and talent pools.
  2. LinkedIn Recruiter shows you the LinkedIn universe. Talentwunder shows you LinkedIn and 29 other networks in the same search result, consolidates duplicate profiles automatically, and enables shared team projects across all sources. We don't replace LinkedIn Recruiter. Many teams use both.
  3. A Super Profile is a consolidated candidate profile that merges information from every network a person is visible on into a single structured record. Skills, roles, employer history, activity signals. One place, one format, no manual stitching.
  4. Five things: (1) it turns CVs into structured profiles, (2) it prioritizes candidates by change probability and activity, (3) it explains why a profile is relevant, (4) it supports both search and outreach messaging, and (5) it powers agents built for DACH sourcing workflows.
  5. Recruiting and talent acquisition teams in DACH companies. From scale-ups to DAX-listed enterprises. Typical users are Head of TA, Active Sourcer, Recruiter and HR Leadership.
  6. Yes. Talentwunder GmbH is based in Berlin, works with an external data protection officer (SECUWING GmbH & Co. KG) and is built to enable GDPR-compliant sourcing. Talentwunder plays two different roles depending on the stage of processing. We act as an independent controller when we build and maintain our database of publicly sourced candidate profiles. When a client selects a profile, adds notes or ratings, or initiates contact, the client acts as controller for that specific recruiting activity, and Talentwunder processes the resulting data on the client's instruction under a data processing agreement.

Product

  2. Yes. Talentwunder integrates with Personio, softgarden, HR Lab, Onlyfy by XING, zfm-Talentboard, Karriera, HubSpot, Manatal and Starhunter, among others. New bridges are added regularly.
  3. Both. Experts who need AND, OR, NOT, brackets and wildcards get the full Boolean syntax. Teams who want natural-language search use the AI mode. Same platform, same results, different input.
  4. Via shared projects (with funnel view), reusable talent pools (with tags), candidate notes and status, an action agenda and notifications. Knowledge stays with the team, not with one person.
  5. Four signals per company and candidate: Loyalty (employee retention), Competitiveness (attractiveness), Career (career momentum), Diversity (diversity indicators). They help with prioritization and outreach strategy.
