Andreas Burike
CEO
At Talentwunder, our strength is teamwork. Sharing profiles, collecting insights, and using the AiLab makes recruiting precise and efficient. The result is a shared process that drives more success over time.
Company
We build the active sourcing system for DACH.
Talentwunder was founded in Berlin in November 2014. Beating 200 other start-ups, it became the first company backed by the Flying Elephants deep-tech incubator. The first platform read public social-media signals to predict how likely a specialist was to change jobs, and it helped shape the active sourcing category in DACH from the start. Over the next decade the product grew from that single signal into a full recruiting platform. Talentwunder 2.0 brings the pieces that used to live in separate tools into one system: cross-network search, candidate information, AI agents, outreach, project management, and talent pools. The goal is for active sourcing to run as one scalable, shared process instead of a pile of lists and manual steps.
Our story
2014 · Berlin
Talentwunder was founded in Berlin in November 2014. Beating 200 other start-ups, it became the first company backed by the Flying Elephants deep-tech incubator.
The first platform read public social-media signals to predict how likely a specialist was to change jobs. From the start, it helped shape what active sourcing means in the DACH market.
From signal to platform
What started as a single job-change signal became a full recruiting platform, built for the DACH market every step of the way.

Talentwunder 2.0
Over the next decade the product grew from that single signal into a full platform. Talentwunder 2.0 brings the pieces that used to live in separate tools into one place.
Cross-network search, candidate information, AI agents, outreach, project management, and talent pools now run as one scalable, shared process, not a pile of lists and manual steps.

How we got here.
Ten years of active sourcing in the DACH market, in four chapters.
- 2014 - 2018
Founded in Berlin
Talentwunder is founded in November 2014 and beats 200 other start-ups to become the first official investment of Flying Elephants (deep-tech incubator of WestTech Ventures). The first platform calculates the likelihood of a job change for specialists based on social-media signals and shapes the active-sourcing category in DACH from the start.
- 2018 - 2020
All you need is active sourcing
The platform is developed steadily, fed with profiles, the AI trained daily. We experiment with different search logics and recognise: not only adjacent professions but also career switchers with the right skills can fill a role. The work runs primarily on Boolean logic; the idea for Smart Search is born.
- 2020 - 2023
Platform, not tool
Talentwunder joins a network of the top 40 HR companies in the DACH region. Strategic and technical preparations follow to position the app as a recruiting platform. A full brand relaunch happens, the product portfolio expands with adjacent services. With the integration of the employee referral programme we start to talk about active recruiting.
- 2023 - 2024
AI messaging in the app
We add the AI-assisted messaging service to the Talentwunder app. LinkedIn messages, connection requests and emails can be sent directly from the app. The app gains company scores and a city comparison for quality of life and cost of living.
The people behind Talentwunder 2.0
Our team combines recruiting experience, product development, data expertise, and customer proximity. We build Talentwunder together with the teams that use active sourcing every day.
Marko BugarskiHead of Product DesignWhat I love about Talentwunder is designing digital products that make recruiters' lives easier. With the team I turn complexity into intuitive solutions, with results that move the needle for companies.
Ognjen BjelicData ScientistAt Talentwunder I'm the data guy. When everything runs perfectly, nobody notices. But when it doesn't, my role suddenly becomes very visible.
How we work.
Four principles we measure every product and messaging decision against.
Clear over clever
What Talentwunder is and who it helps has to be understandable within ten seconds. On every page and in every conversation.
Process over feature
We talk to TA leaders about teams and outcomes, not buttons. We convince buying committees with process value, not feature lists.
Proof over promise
Every claim is paired with a number, a customer, or a concrete mechanism. AI claims name the recruiter task they replace.
Duality, not dogma
AI and Boolean. Newcomers and experts. Multi-network and ATS-compatible. We don't force anyone into a single mode.
Impact Hero
Responsibility beyond the product.
We believe companies share responsibility for shaping the future of the planet. Together with our partner Impact Hero we support the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Education per month
60 hours
For children and women, to break the cycle of poverty through education.
Trees per month
120
Trees and fruit trees, planted in cooperation with local communities.
Sustainability principles
6
Every funded project is selected against Impact Hero's six sustainability principles.
With every purchase of a Talentwunder product, our customers become part of this mission.
