From Recruitee to Tellent: A Quick History
If you've been around the HR tech world for a while, you’ve likely heard of Recruitee—a popular collaborative hiring platform. But now, there’s a new name on the scene: Tellent.
So, what’s the story?
Tellent isn’t just a rebrand—it’s a strategic consolidation of three platforms under one unified brand: Recruitee (ATS), Sympa (HRIS), and Javelo (performance management). This move brings end-to-end HR functionality under one roof, serving everything from recruitment to performance tracking and employee development.
And it’s more than just cosmetics. The Tellent brand signals a shift toward fully integrated, scalable HR solutions that work across global teams.
What Tellent Offers: A Look Into the Platform
Tellent now operates as a suite of tools designed for fast-growing companies who want a smarter, more cohesive hiring and HR experience. Here’s a breakdown of what’s included:
Recruitee: Collaborative Hiring at Its Best
This is the original flagship product. Recruitee is still the core ATS under Tellent’s umbrella and it’s known for:
- Intuitive drag-and-drop pipelines
- Team collaboration tools
- Job board multiposting (including Nerd Werk integration)
- Custom workflows and templates
Sympa: The HRIS for Growth
Sympa handles the HR backbone: from onboarding, time tracking, and compensation to org charts and compliance documentation.
Javelo: Performance and Development
Focused on growth and engagement, Javelo helps with 360-degree feedback, performance reviews, and skill mapping.
Together, they deliver a modular, but deeply connected HR stack that fits startups, mid-sized companies, and global teams alike.
Why STEM Employers Should Pay Attention
STEM hiring comes with its own set of challenges: niche roles, high competition, and candidates who are often passive or hard to find on generalist boards.
Here’s where Tellent and Nerd Werk come together.
Features That Make Tellent Ideal for Tech-Driven Teams
- Structured evaluation tools help eliminate hiring bias
- Real-time collaboration means engineering teams can weigh in fast
- Custom workflows let you tailor pipelines to your most technical roles
How Nerd Werk Extends STEM Reach via Tellent
By integrating Nerd Werk into the Tellent ecosystem (via Recruitee), you can automatically surface your roles to a field-specific audience of science, engineering, and tech professionals. That means less noise, better matches, and a clearer path from job post to hire.
