HR consulting and recruitment firm expanding into SaaS and automation
Talent Switch is a 30-person HR consulting and recruitment boutique founded in 2020, now pivoting toward product. The tech stack reveals an unusual shape for an HR firm: infrastructure (Azure, AWS, GCP), automation (Jira, Azure DevOps, CI/CD), and AI/NLP tools (chatbot, document intelligence, generative AI for docs) sit alongside traditional HR tooling. Active projects span a new SaaS offering, cloud provisioning, and NLP deployment—indicating a shift from pure services toward productized, scalable solutions. Hiring velocity is accelerating across sales, engineering, and product, with leadership gaps being filled.
