Market
We target and are relevant from scaling startups to global enterprises. Typical clients include hiring managers for tech staff, and recruitment agencies that handle large volume tech positions. The global HR tech market is projected to grow from USD 40 billion in 2024 to USD 82 billion by 2032
Problem or Opportunity
Hiring is broken. In Europe, only 56% of job offers are accepted, and nearly one in five new hires leaves during probation. That leaves fewer than half of new hires still in their roles six months after recruitment. At the same time, investment in recruitment technology is accelerating. The global HR tech market is projected to grow from USD 40 billion in 2024 to USD 82 billion by 2032. Despite these gains, 98% of Fortune 500 companies continue to rely on applicant tracking systems that filter résumés by keywords rather than proven skills.
Solution (product or service)
Atalef was created as a direct response to this gap. Built on a CV-free, skills-first model, its DeepMatch algorithm sources candidates from the most widely recognised databases for tech talent and validates them with role-specific assessments. The goal is to shorten hiring cycles, reduce costly mis-hires, and provide shortlists that employers can trust.

Advantages or differentiators
AI That Gets It: No more keyword-stuffing. Our AI understands what makes a great hire and focuses on real, validated hard skills, personality attributes, and preferences instead of traditional CVs.
Finance
We provide affordable and competitive SaaS tiered plans for companies of all sizes and stages of growth. We additionally provide RaaS, including SaaS + Service from our recruitment agents. The aim is to have signed 400 customers by the end of 2026.
Business model
Our business model is simple: tiered SaaS plans + add-on service packs that scale from early startups to global enterprises. We integrate with ATSs, empower recruiters, and convert agencies into distribution partners, not competitors - creating multiple recurring revenue streams. The result? Faster hires, fewer mistakes, and massive savings on the #1 burn category in your portfolio: engineering talent. We’re now taking Atalef global - and yes, we’re carving off our slice of LinkedIn Recruiter’s €7B market.
