Great people deserve to work for great companies. Everything we build serves that belief.

SocialTalent is a Hiring Intelligence platform.
We help large, global organisations make interviewing a reliable, evidence-based part of how they hire.
Hiring has changed for good. Candidates arrive AI-assisted, recruiting teams are leaner, and more of every decision now rests on the interview itself — the most important and most fragile moment in hiring.
SocialTalent exists to make that moment reliable. We combine a proven hiring methodology, expert-led training, and Cara, our in-the-moment interview intelligence. Interviewers walk in prepared. Decisions rest on real evidence. And your interviewing gets better over time instead of starting fresh with every hire.
Our focus sits with the interviewer, not the candidate. It’s the side of the table an organisation can shape, and the one most hiring tools overlook.
Our Story
SocialTalent was founded by Johnny Campbell and Vincent O’Donoghue in Ireland in 2011. It began with two recruiters sharing smarter ways to find talent, and grew into the most comprehensive library of hiring and interviewing expertise in the world.
That heritage is the reason our AI is different. Cara wasn’t built by developers retrofitting AI into interviews. She’s powered by 15 years of hiring expertise and a defined, teachable methodology for what good hiring looks like in a given role, and how to interview for it.
Today, global enterprises including Siemens, Cisco, Avanade, GitLab, Electronic Arts, Nokia, Citrix and HelloFresh trust SocialTalent to raise the standard of every interview their teams run, and to prove that standard is being met.

What we believe
Four convictions shape everything we make.
Interviewing is a skill, not a knack some people are born with.
It can be taught and improved like anything else, and the AI era leaves no room to pretend otherwise.
Good decisions come from sharper questions and stronger evidence.
We work on those inputs and leave the final call to the people accountable for it.
Cara looks at how an interview was run, never at the candidate in it.
Feedback goes privately to the interviewer, to help them improve rather than to catch them out.
Better interviewing is its own form of risk reduction.
Interviews that are fair and consistent protect the candidate and the organisation alike.
Our Values
Our internal values — Adapt & Achieve, Brave Ownership, Connected Collaboration, Dignity & Integrity, and Experiment & Accelerate (A, B, C, D, E) — inform everything we do.
Adapt & Achieve
We adapt with purpose, learning quickly and adjusting without losing sight of the outcome.
Brave Ownership
We own outcomes, not tasks. That means stepping forward, especially when uncertainty rises.
Connected Collaboration
We work across boundaries with intention, building strong relationships and combining our strengths to deliver more together.
Dignity & Integrity
We act with honesty and reliability, and treat people with respect in every interaction.
Experiment & Accelerate
We challenge old ways of working and make decisions based on what we learn, not on what we’ve always done.
Working for SocialTalent
We love what we do here. We hold different roles, but we’re united by one belief: that great people deserve to work for great organisations. If enabling people is what drives you, whether through building technology, shaping content with leading experts, running sharp marketing, or delivering great customer support, we’d like to hear from you.
