MyTalengi is a new recruitment platform, designed and developed in Ireland aimed at helping business to find and hire software talent.

MyTalengi plans to offer software developers personal brand and career management services, building a real-time profile that reflects their skills and achievements.

The founder is Stephen Walsh (pictured), who said that users of MyTalengi include NewsWhip, BriteBill, Hoolux Medical, Keeper Solutions and Taxamo.

“Unlike LinkedIn, MyTalengi focuses exclusively on the software developer community,” said Walsh. “This means that recruiters and businesses using MyTalengi can search, find and access software development talent in complex technical environments such as GitHub and StackExchange.

“Already analysing more than 1 million pieces of data relating to developers each month, plans are already in place to further enrich digital footprint data with the addition of activity on Twitter, Reddit, Google + and other platforms favoured by software developers.”
