The Kind of Talent That Fits an AI-First Product The talent quality has been the part I've appreciated most. The people we worked with weren't just technically capable; they were curious about how the product worked and comfortable experimenting with newer tools. That made a difference when we were working on things where there wasn't always an established playbook to follow. I'd like to have more visibility into upcoming talent availability, particularly when we're planning projects a few months ahead. Aside from that, the experience has been positive. Working on an AI-focused product means the technical side changes pretty quickly. Some of the people we needed had to be comfortable with AI tools and workflows rather than treating them as something completely new. Second Talent helped us bring in people who could work in that kind of environment without a long adjustment period. It gave the team more flexibility when several product priorities were moving at the same time.

Made Cross-Team Collaboration Much Easier I liked that things simply kept moving. There was less waiting for unfinished work, fewer last-minute schedule changes, and better coordination between teams. Even though I wasn't directly involved in the technical work, the impact was noticeable in my day-to-day responsibilities. Nothing major comes to mind. It would be nice if there were more ways to preview available talent for upcoming projects, but overall we've had a good experience. As someone working on product content, I rely quite a bit on engineering timelines. When development gets delayed, content plans usually shift as well. After working with Second Talent, it became easier to keep projects moving because the additional engineering support helped reduce bottlenecks. That made planning launches and preparing supporting content much less stressful.

A Useful Extension to a Fast-Moving Product Team What I appreciated most was the way the collaboration developed after the first few weeks. Once they had enough context, the people we worked with were comfortable taking initiative and bringing their own perspective to the work. For a smaller product team where conversations and priorities can change quickly, that made a real difference. The talent quality was strong, but I also liked that the people felt comfortable working in an environment that wasn't overly structured. I don't have any major complaints. It could be useful to have a clearer view of the types of talent that may become available for future projects, especially when planning further ahead. The tricky part for us wasn't simply having more people on a project. It was finding people who could step into a product that sits close to both marketing and sales workflows and get comfortable with the context quickly. Working with Second Talent gave us access to talent that could contribute without turning the rest of the team into full-time onboarding support. That helped us keep making progress on product improvements while still giving existing priorities the attention they needed.

Nuanced, Logistics-Savvy Matching That Stands Out The specificity of their matching. They didn't just send us "AI people', they sent us people whose experience was genuinely applicable to logistics and operations. That level of nuance is what separates them from every other agency we've tried. Would appreciate more options for contract or project-based placements, not just full-time hires. Our logistics operation was going through a major AI transformation and we needed people who could support that shift, not learn from scratch. Every hire from Second Talent came in already fluent in AI tools relevant to our space, from route optimization software to demand forecasting platforms.

A Team That Could Keep Up With Our Pace What stood out wasn't just the technical ability, but how quickly people became part of the team's day-to-day workflow. Within a short time they were joining discussions, contributing ideas during planning, and working comfortably alongside the existing team. It never felt like we had to constantly explain how we work or revisit the same context over and over. Nothing significant. It would be useful if there were occasionally more candidates with direct experience building B2B SaaS products, but overall we've been happy with the experience. We're constantly releasing improvements and new capabilities, so there are always multiple teams working in parallel. During one of our busier periods, we needed additional engineering support to keep things moving without delaying other priorities. Bringing people in through Second Talent helped us spread the workload more effectively, and it meant product updates stayed on schedule while our internal team could continue focusing on longer-term work.

Transformed How We Think About Hiring for an AI-First SaaS Operation The mindset of the candidates. Every person Second Talent introduced thought in systems and wasn't afraid of automation. That cultural fit is just as important as the technical skills, and Second Talent clearly screens for both As with every startup, budget is always constricted when it comes to marketing. Especially if your company is bbotstrapped. Pricing is fair for the value delivered, but more flexible engagement models for early-stage companies would be welcome. As a marketing mananger working in an AI-first SaaS business, I needed people who could move fast and weren't intimidated by new tools. Traditional staffing agencies didn't understand the brief. Second Talent did — they sent us candidates who were already using AI to build complex workflows, not just learning about it.

Professional and Smooth Recruitment Experience ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What I like best about Second Talent is that the recruitment process has been smooth and professional. They communicated clearly throughout the process, kept me updated on the next steps, and matched me with an opportunity that aligns well with my experience and career goals. The overall experience has been efficient and supportive. I haven't had any major issues with Second Talent. Second Talent is solving the challenge of connecting experienced professionals with the right international opportunities. It benefits me by making it easier to find roles that align with my skills and career goals, instead of spending time searching across multiple platforms.

High-Quality AI-Native Talent That Fits Fast-Moving Teams The biggest differentiator is the talent quality. We've consistently been introduced to capable engineers who communicate well, work effectively during our US business hours, and adapt quickly to our team's way of working. Their account management is also one of the best parts of the experience. They're responsive, proactive, and genuinely focused on making the collaboration successful. The overall experience has been very positive. A larger preview of upcoming available talent would make resource planning even easier. We regularly have projects where we need additional engineering support but don't have time for a lengthy search process. Second Talent has been a dependable partner for connecting us with AI-native professionals who can quickly understand our product and start contributing. Having people who already work comfortably with AI-assisted development has shortened ramp-up time and helped us keep momentum across multiple initiatives.

AI-Native Talent That Understands Fast-Paced Growth Teams The talent quality has been consistently strong. Everyone we’ve worked with was already comfortable using AI tools as part of their day-to-day workflow, so we didn’t have to spend time teaching new processes or explaining how we operate. They were proactive and collaborative, and they were able to start contributing almost immediately. Another standout has been the account management: the team is responsive, clear in their communication, and quick to adjust whenever our priorities shift. Overall, it feels like they’re genuinely invested in helping us find the right people, rather than simply filling a request. Overall, my experience has been very positive. The only improvement I’d suggest is offering more visibility into upcoming AI-native talent, as that would make it even easier to plan future projects. Our team often runs multiple growth initiatives at the same time, so we occasionally need additional support without slowing down execution. One challenge has always been finding people who already understand AI products and modern AI-driven workflows. Second Talent consistently introduced AI-native talent who adapted quickly to the way we work, contributed meaningful ideas, and became productive with very little ramp-up. That made it much easier to keep campaigns, product launches, and growth experiments moving without losing momentum.

Seamless Multi-Market Searches with One Point of Contact Their ability to manage multi-market searches seamlessly is a standout. One point of contact, multiple markets covered. It made our lives much easier as a hiring manager. Candidate availability for very senior roles in certain markets can be limited, but that's a market reality rather than a reflection of their service. We needed to scale our engineering team across multiple APAC markets simultaneously. A task that would have been overwhelming to manage internally. Second Talent coordinated the search across markets and delivered quality candidates across all locations within a reasonable time frame.

Rewarding remote work with supportive collaboration and growth Pros:The company gave me the opportunity to collaborate with international clients and talented teammates in a fully remote environment. I appreciated the trust, autonomy, and open communication throughout my time here. The account management team was responsive and supportive, making it easy to stay aligned with both project goals and client expectations. Overall, it was a rewarding experience that helped me grow both professionally and personally. Cons:As with any growing company, processes continue to evolve, creating opportunities to learn and adapt along the way.

Reliable partner for enterprise hiring — patient, professional, no drama Their patience and professionalism with enterprise processes. Our approval cycles aren't fast, and they adapted without complaint — kept documentation clean, flagged risks early, and never made us feel like we were being difficult. That kind of reliability matters when you have multiple stakeholders and audit requirements. More proactive check-ins during the approvals stage would have been helpful. There were quieter periods where we had to initiate contact to confirm things were still moving. Building out an internal IT team in Malaysia through traditional local channels was slow and inconsistent. Second Talent navigated the market effectively and placed two candidates who've already made a tangible difference to our internal operations.

Valued IT role with room for improvement in tools Pros:IT here isn't an afterthought, leadership understands that reliable systems directly affect how well the team can serve clients across multiple markets. You have genuine autonomy to improve infrastructure rather than just fielding tickets. Colleagues are appreciative when systems run smoothly, which makes the often invisible work feel valued. Cons:Some internal tooling is still maturing, which means occasional workarounds while better solutions are built out. Documentation for legacy systems could be more thorough.

Dynamic work environment with supportive team and leadership Pros:No two days look the same here. You're touching everything from client onboarding logistics to internal process improvements, which keeps the work interesting. The team genuinely supports each other and there's no unnecessary competition. Leadership listens when you flag something that's not working and is willing to change course quickly. Cons:Because the company is scaling fast, processes sometimes change before they've had time to fully settle, which requires flexibility. Not ideal if you prefer a highly predictable environment.

Fast, Relevant Hiring with Highly Responsive Support What stood out most was the combination of speed and relevance. They delivered qualified profiles within two weeks and completed both hires within seven weeks. When a candidate withdrew late in the process, they quickly provided a replacement shortlist, demonstrating strong responsiveness under pressure. No significant issues. Hard to fault the overall process. Sourced and onboarded two backend engineers with logistics platform expertise on an accelerated timeline for a critical rebuild. Since joining, real-time tracking accuracy has improved and client escalations tied to shipment visibility have declined.

Real autonomy if you're driven to close deals Pros:You get genuine ownership over your pipeline here. Leadership doesn't micromanage the sales process and trusts you to build relationships your own way. The product is easy to sell because it solves a real problem for clients, and the team celebrates wins together which keeps morale high. Good earning potential if you put in the work. Cons:Targets are ambitious and the ramp-up period can feel long if you're new to the industry. Requires self-motivation since there isn't a lot of hand-holding once you're past initial training.

Compliance-Aware Hiring in SEA, they got it without us over-explaining I really appreciate how Second Talent helped us fill three compliance-sensitive engineering roles across two SEA markets simultaneously, all within 9 weeks. The EOR was handled cleanly, and all three hires are actively contributing to our new product line, which has expedited the process and fast-tracked the timeline, ensuring the specs are implemented flawlessly and saving us a lot of headaches. Their compliance awareness, regulated development environments, and audit-conscious practices stood out as they screened for all of this naturally without our input. The shared candidate tracker they offer gave our stakeholders real-time visibility without requiring constant check-ins. The entire engagement was clean and well-managed, making it genuinely hard to find something to nitpick. Nothing worth flagging. The engagement was clean and well-handled througout. It's genuinely hard to find fault with the entire process and how it runs. We use Second Talent to fill compliance-sensitive engineering roles quickly, ensuring seamless EOR handling. Their compliance awareness and audit practices instill confidence and provide stakeholders with real-time candidate tracker visibility, streamlining our hiring process without constant check-ins.

Understood our hiring needs without us overexplaining What stood out was how quickly they grasped what we actually needed beyond the job description. They asked about our team culture, growth stage, and what success looked like for the role, which made the candidates they sent through genuinely relevant. Saved us a lot of time we would have spent screening irrelevant profiles. Nothing really, the engagement ran smoothly and any minor points were addressed quickly. We wanted to scale our team without diverting marketing leadership time into running a full hiring process. Second Talent handled the search end-to-end and the hire has been contributing meaningfully since joining.

Cut our time-to-hire in half with a shortlist that actually made sense The quality of candidates relative to the brief. They didn't just collect our job spec and start sending CVs — they asked about our team structure and how we work day to day. The shortlist reflected that, and the hire was contributing within two weeks of starting. Nothing significant. The process ran smoothly and any minor points were handled quickly. We needed to hire quickly without running a full recruitment process ourselves. Second Talent compressed our timeline significantly and handled the admin side, which freed up a lot of internal bandwidth.
