## What is Tal?

Tal: The app where bosses hire directly 

Tal is a social hiring app where Bangalore's top founders, product & engineering leaders meet the best engineers & builders directly. 

Hiring was always supposed to be simple - someone who has work to give, offers it to someone who wants to do it. Job boards, middle men, ATS, agencies made it too complicated.

With Tal, the boss and the talent meet directly, once again.

Over 10,000+ engineers and product professionals in Bangalore already use Tal every day.

### 3/5 — Product review

*2026-08-26*

Hi all, from a recruitee’s perspective, how you took the information felt easy to answer. 
However, when seeing the profiles of ‘bosses’, I would prefer to know about the company’s information such as location, what does the company do, how does the team look like, how they work, what are the values etc. 


Thanks.

**Developer response:** thanks for the feedback. I am sure we can do something about it. best. jainam

### 5/5 — Really helpful

*2026-07-08*

never thought I'd say a job app is enjoyable to use but the swiping and prompts make it feel more like
discovering people than filling out applications

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-07-08*

so nice to not get 47 emails from recruiters I never contacted. TAL keeps it clean. that alone puts it ahead of
most platforms I've tried

### 5/5 — amazing

*2026-07-08*

Love that you can see the actual hiring managers and not just a company logo with a generic JD. makes the
whole thing feel human
