Case Study: Talend achieves employer-brand celebrity status and 145% increase in referral hires with Jobvite

Talend Leverages Internal Talent to Reach Employment Brand Celebrity Status

Talend, a fast‑growing Bay Area big‑data software company, needed to build and promote its employment brand to attract top talent globally as headcount expanded rapidly. The challenge was to show—rather than tell—what makes Talend a great place to work so they could compete for higher‑quality candidates across levels.

Talend adopted the Jobvite platform (Jobvite Hire and Jobvite Engage), equipping employees as brand ambassadors to share content and streamline recruiting workflows. In nine months Talend saw a 67% increase in candidate pipeline, a 145% increase in referral hires (referrals became the top source), improved candidate quality and experience, and agency hires were cut in half (from 16% to 8%).
