TalentFlood

Chicago, IL: TalentFlood, a new smart hiring software that uses a sophisticated algorithm to match employers to job seekers, was announced as the first place winner of the Moxe Pitch Event at the Moxe Launch Party in Chicago, IL, hosted by Entrenuity. TalentFlood’s prototype and business plan for their newly developed software was ranked by a panel of judges according to excellence in concept, presentation, professionalism and marketability. 

As a Chicago local, Angela Jackson presented at the pitch event and accepted the award at the launch party afterwards. “We’ve been working on this idea for a long time,” Angela explained. “Having sat through the intensity of investor pitches in the past and their subsequent grilling questions, I felt confident that our plan covered most of the bases. But, honestly, it was just fun to talk about it with people who have never heard of the concept or idea before! It’s revolutionary—and that makes me excited to share.”

The team of founders met 6 years ago in South Carolina and began developing the idea soon afterwards. Though life took them to various states throughout the years, they stuck together with TalentFlood because they knew it could change the industry. Whenever they talk with employers, investors or pitch event judges, they tell the story of the pain in the hiring industry. The process is long, there are too many resume results, it involves wasting much time and money, and often the candidate may be the wrong hire when all is said and done. If there’s a better way—one that looks at the company and the job seeker in a more holistic way and matches them based on the combined results—then TalentFlood wants to be that way.

What’s next for TalentFlood?

• Finish developing the working prototype—TalentFlood needs to gain capital to put the finishing touches on the first phase of the product, so they can start running matches and generating revenue.
• Raise venture capital for full product development—TalentFlood will develop the full product in the 2nd phase, which will allow for better interfacing, faster matches, and more industries.
