FileFinder is one of the most popular executive search products in history. From its roots as a UNIX-only platform to the advanced SaaS product it is today, it has – and continues to – support thousands of executive recruiters worldwide day in, day out.
FileFinder clients love it for its robustness. Its power. Its depth of functionality – it’s a “big product” that is perfect for the many search firms that need that.
But the world changes, and executive recruiting changes with it.
Many executive search firms continue to build competitive advantage through the compilation and management of detail-rich internal databases. These firms continue to rely on FileFinder and will do for years to come.
Today, however, so much information is publicly available. Sites like LinkedIn and Bloomberg have transformed how many recruiters find and engage with both candidates and clients.
Increasingly, recruiters turn to the web first and CRM second.
This is where Talentis comes in.
Talentis is a modern executive search software built specifically for executive search firms, in-house executive talent acquisition teams and private equity talent functions.
Unlike traditional executive search software, Talentis combines a full executive search CRM with TalentGraph, giving recruiters access to hundreds of millions of public professional and company profiles alongside their own candidate, client and assignment data.
This approach dramatically reduces manual data entry while helping executive search firms discover, track and engage executive talent more efficiently. Rather than spending time creating and maintaining records by hand, recruiters can focus on candidate discovery, relationship management and search delivery.
Today, Talentis is used by executive search firms across six continents and has become one of the fastest-growing executive search software platforms in the market. Firms choose Talentis for its combination of executive search CRM functionality, AI-powered candidate discovery, talent mapping, relationship management and modern recruiter workflows.
Many firms have successfully migrated from legacy executive search platforms and spreadsheets to Talentis, retaining their historical candidate, client and assignment data while benefiting from a more modern and integrated executive search software platform.
We also continue to sell, support and develop FileFinder, which remains an excellent option for many executive search firms.
However, for any FileFinder client that does wish to consider migrating data into the new Talentis platform, please speak to your account manager.
