RocketPeople has rebranded. Say hello to Taleron!
We've rebranded. Find out what’s changed and how our new identity better reflects our mission.
RocketPeople got us off the launchpad, but it no longer fits the direction we’re heading in. We’ve grown, evolved, and do more than just hire quickly.
We’ve fine-tuned our recruitment engine while staying true to our purpose: to find remarkable talent and make hiring feel effortless. And now, we start a new chapter with a brand new name: Taleron.
In this article, we explain why we’ve rebranded, what’s changed, and what it means for our customers and community.
TL;DR
New name: RocketPeople → Taleron, built to signal clarity and confidence
Bigger footprint: From one Amsterdam hub to full European coverage
Sharper focus: Building recruitment engines to keep your org scaling smoothly
From a recruitment agency to a talent partner
Back when we started in 2020, Amsterdam’s startup scene was booming. Funding flowed, and founders hustled—but most had no clue how to scale teams effectively. We stepped in to bridge that gap, building a recruitment company that did more than just fire off CVs.
From the start, we set out to be different—helping high-growth and ambitious tech companies find the right talent across all functions, not just within a narrow niche. Our tagline, “the performance of an agency, the dedication of an in-house recruiter”, said it all.
Fast-forward to today: we’ve worked with over 300 innovative and curious companies that know the value of a hiring partnership. We’re now spread across Europe and dialled in on leadership impact. A new brand felt overdue, so here we are.
Cue obligatory rebrand video.
More than a new name: why we’re transforming
As RocketPeople, we belonged to the RocketX branded house. As Taleron, we unveil not only our new brand name, but also a brand new website to showcase what we do and how we do it.
1. We’ve refined our focus and restructured
We believe no role is impossible to fill, yet the stakes rise dramatically at leadership level. That’s why we now operate two dedicated specialist teams: one for commercial leaders and specialists, and another for critical tech roles, from data scientists to engineers.
Whether you need a Manager, Head, VP, or C-suite executive, we zero in on the people who drive scale, where our expertise matters more than ever.
2. We continue to expand our services
Hiring is only one part of building world-class teams. Over the years, we’ve helped clients craft ideal candidate profiles, benchmark compensation, and even conduct training workshops to upskill internal TA teams.
Our three core recruitment services stretch beyond helping you fill key roles. We’ve fine-tuned our own recruitment engine, and can help you with yours.
Expect more: we’re cooking up another new project, but that’s all we can say!
3. We needed a name built for altitude
The name Taleron evokes clarity, confidence, and strength. It hints at talent, feels timeless, and even nods to the talon of an eagle—sharp, focused, precise. Exactly how we work. We scan widely for the right talent. Zero in on high-impact profiles. Landing hires with clean precision.
4. We’ve grown beyond Amsterdam
What started as a local recruitment agency has become a Europe-wide talent partner. With hubs in Amsterdam, Athens, and Spain—and clients from Berlin to Barcelona—we needed a brand that speaks to our broader reach.
What’s not changing
Great brands evolve, but the fundamentals that make them trusted partners should feel immovable. The services that keep clients coming back and the playbook that powers every hire stay exactly where you left them: solid, proven, and ready to scale with you.
Below, meet our three service lines and the five-step approach that ties them together.
Leadership hires: the scale makers
Replacing a VP or adding a fresh C-suite seat? We treat leadership searches like the company-defining moments they are. Whether you’re backfilling a mission-critical position or need a natural-born leader, expect discreet outbound strategies, rigorous assessment, and shortlist precision.
Key hires: the specialist search
Key positions, and the skills needed to perform, are at a pivotal moment. Our key-hire track is built for those moments. When you need a CRM architect in Amsterdam, a data scientist fluent in Spark, or a market-launch lead who speaks your language. We locate the hidden gems you seek, delivering the niche skill sets that unblock projects and open fresh revenue streams.
Embedded recruitment: plug-and-play firepower
Sometimes you need more than a hire. You need velocity. Our embedded recruitment model drops a pod of Taleron specialists into your workflow for however long you need, from three to twelve months (or longer), billed as a monthly subscription.
You get dedicated sourcers, recruiters, and coordinators executing your hiring roadmap, all for less than building the same capacity internally. It’s the same partnership mindset we bring to every search, simply packaged for volume and speed.
Our structured approach: a five-step playbook that never wavers
Over five years and 1,000+ successful hires, we’ve perfected a repeatable framework that delivers results fast without ever trading quality for speed. Every engagement follows the same disciplined cadence, giving you total visibility and an industry-leading success rate.
Audit – Your dedicated recruiter immerses in your culture, role requirements, and success metrics.
Playback – We validate the hiring strategy, outreach messaging, and interview design with you, transparency that underpins our 90% fill rate.
Activation – We tap into our network and outbound headhunting toolkit to engage only top-tier prospects, then rigorously screen for both skills and values fit.
Meet – An efficient interview cadence with tight feedback loops keeps momentum high, presenting multiple qualified candidates at every stage.
Hire – We negotiate, close, and onboard talent—transforming acceptances into long-term wins.
These constants beneath our new name and colours ensure every Taleron partnership moves quickly and lands precisely, every single time.
Looking ahead
Taleron launches with the same heartbeat that powered RocketPeople—helping bold companies soar through exceptional people. Over the coming months, you’ll see us deepen our European footprint, invest in new talent, and expand the networks that feed our key hires, leadership, and embedded recruitment engines.
We promise to keep pairing the discipline of our five-step playbook with the passion of partners who treat your goals as our own. Thank you for being part of our journey so far.
