Question 1

What if I don’t have a CV readily available? What should it look like?

Accepted Answer

A CV as a PDF file is required to complete registration. Only after the CV’s been uploaded can we put your profile online and find the right position for you.

The more complete your CV, the more you show your motivation for a new job. You can find more useful information on creating your CV on our blog:

It’s also recommended to include a photo in German-speaking countries, even though this isn’t mandatory.

The chronological order of your previous positions, as well as a list of your degrees and certificates, are the most important things, including your personal data (address, email, etc.) to have on your CV.

Companies are interested in getting to know you as a person to see if you’re a “cultural fit.”

If you would like to use the LinkedIn feature to save your profile as a PDF, be sure to check that the PDF file does not contain any typos. Be aware that the PDF conversion feature does not always work.

Question 2

How does Taledo work?

Accepted Answer

If you are an active job seeker or simply open to new opportunities, you can create a profile by uploading your CV and entering your preferences on Taledo.com.

Upon submission, the Taledo team reviews your profile to see if it is suitable for our network and clients' current hiring needs. We check your CV and may even request a call. Once you are accepted, you will be notified via email.

As a candidate on the Taledo platform, all companies in our network (called clients) have access to your profile and can send interview requests to learn more about you in a first chat. Each interview request includes the company name, position title and expected salary that recruiters have in mind for you.

Ideally these interviews lead to multiple job offers. Then you can select your favorite company and start your new, dream position!

Question 3

How much does using the platform cost?

Accepted Answer

Using the platform is completely free for our candidates!

If you find a job through Taledo, you’ll receive a gift box as a small thank you from us.

Do you have a large network and friends that are looking for a new opportunity? Send us their contact information! If they are hired based on your recommendation, you’ll receive €1,000!

Question 4

What if I already have a job?

Accepted Answer

Of course we’re here for you even if you already have a job! Do you have any questions or need help? Then contact your Talent Manager - by email or phone.

For your account, this means: Your profile has several settings relating to security. You can choose between “Actively looking,” “Open for opportunities,” “Not looking,” and “Secretly looking.” You change this easily with the click of a mouse. And we’re happy to help, if needed!

If you want to leave your profile active, you will continue to see appropriate positions. But you will not be visible to companies if you leave your status as “Not looking” or “Secretly looking” (even when your profile is active). You can also blacklist certain companies. This means that these “blacklisted” companies cannot see your profile even if your profile is set to “Actively looking.”

Your profile can be deactivated for a period of time to avoid finding companies or positions that fit with your experience.

Question 5

How can I deactivate or delete my account?

Accepted Answer

If you want to completely delete your account, please contact us at support@taledo.com using the email address you signed up with.

Question 6

Which companies can see my profile?

Accepted Answer

All companies using the Taledo platform have access to your profile.

If you do not want a certain company to see your profile, you have the option to blacklist a company during the signup process or you may edit the blacklist field once you've finished signing up. All companies you blacklist will not be able to view your profile.

If you are secretly looking for a job, we can accept you to the Taledo platform as a private profile. If you want to pre-approve to which companies we send your profile, please select "Secretly Looking" when creating your account.
