We're Adam Pomerenke and Anjelic Kumedzina, the two LLs behind Tallented.

A get to know with the founders Adam & Anjelic...

Our mantra:
Anj: We don’t take ourselves too seriously but we do serious work!
Adam: We're the good guys- We put the love back into Talent Acquisition! 

‍Describe each other in three words:
‍Adam on Anj: Vocal, Compassionate, focused
Anj on Adam:  Delivery focused, highly likeable, A-grade rolemodel on Dad humour. 

‍Our backgrounds:
‍Adam:  Both of us started our careers working agency side in the talent acquisition industry, honing our skills and gaining valuable experience. However, we soon realised that our true passion lay in helping organisations build and optimise their talent acquisition strategies from within.
Anj: We’ve both spent several years of working as Talent Acquisition Directors in-house, both in a Global and domestic capacity. We’ve had the opportunity to work across a range of cool organisations from establish 50,000 strong headcounts to 100 person scale ups. All of them have been wild and have given us immense learning opportunities. 

‍Why now:
‍Adam:  After what can only be described as a turbulent few years for Talent Acquisition and across the wider economy, we both identified gaps in the market that we felt needed addressing. We have always had a heightened lens on the candidate experience but this period has shown the experience to be exceptionally poor for professionals in the Talent Acquisition space. We know we can do better.
Anj: We appreciate that the market can feel tight for organisations, we are here to challenge and disrupt traditional models to provide solutions that work for both our clients and candidates. We’ve organised returner programmes, helped companies design road maps that are self service, as well as a plethora of other projects that we're buzzing to do again. Further, we've had organisations ask for us to help for 1 day a week due and we accept that agility is the way forward. 
Adam/Anj: We finally decided to take the plunge and set up own talent consultancy. 

About about you both personally?
‍Adam: Avid Aston Villa supporter, love watching and playing most sports, feverantly working on improving my Chess ELO and a new Dog dad.
Anj: Mumtrepreneur, 3 daughters and a SUPER FIT husband ( He owns a gym! lol). Also a traveller and foodie, creative (Love all things art, architecture) but much better taste in football teams. Arsenal supporter.
