Modular HR platform combining ATS, HRIS, and performance management
Tellent operates a multi-module HR tech suite (ATS, HRIS, performance management) built on a polyglot stack—Elixir, Rails, Python, Java, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch—that reflects a mature, distributed system. The company is actively modernizing its legacy codebase while scaling recruitment and sales infrastructure, with hiring skewed toward senior engineers and sales roles across Europe and Peru. Pain-point patterns (complex sales cycles, inbound pipeline gaps, expansion motion) reveal a product-market fit challenge: strong installed base (7,000+ companies, 200K+ users) but friction in GTM execution and revenue scaling.
Tellent is a European HR platform serving mid-market and enterprise organizations across 7,000+ customer accounts with 200K+ active users. The product suite spans three core modules—applicant tracking, HRIS, and performance management—designed to guide talent decisions across the employee lifecycle. The company operates with European data standards and compliance posture (ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II). Tellent's go-to-market mixes partner channels (500+ partners globally) with direct sales, and is currently focused on improving inbound generation, simplifying complex sales cycles, and expanding revenue per customer.
Tellent uses Elixir, Ruby on Rails, Python, and Java for the backend; PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch for data; React, Angular, and TypeScript for frontend; and GCP/AWS for infrastructure. Operational tools include Kubernetes, Terraform, HubSpot, Salesforce, and Chargebee.
Tellent is headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and is privately held with 201–500 employees across multiple European countries plus Peru.
