Second Talent Reviews & Provider Details

The mindset of the candidates. Every person Second Talent introduced thought in systems and wasn't afraid of automation. That cultural fit is just as important as the technical skills, and Second Talent clearly screens for both Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As with every startup, budget is always constricted when it comes to marketing. Especially if your company is bbotstrapped. Pricing is fair for the value delivered, but more flexible engagement models for early-stage companies would be welcome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like Second Talent because it connects skillful talent to global opportunities. Yosafat Tobing, an agent at Second Talent, is incredibly professional, helpful, and always communicative. This made my process of landing a full-time remote offer very smooth and trustworthy. The communication style and responsiveness are something I truly appreciate, and I would recommend their service to others looking for quality talent matching. I also find Read.ai and Fireflies.ai, the third-party services they use, very helpful for recapping meetings with their summaries and action items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Perhaps a dedicated portal or dashboard where candidates can track their application status in real-time would be a nice addition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The specificity of their matching. They didn't just send us "AI people', they sent us people whose experience was genuinely applicable to logistics and operations. That level of nuance is what separates them from every other agency we've tried. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would appreciate more options for contract or project-based placements, not just full-time hires. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked that things simply kept moving. There was less waiting for unfinished work, fewer last-minute schedule changes, and better coordination between teams. Even though I wasn't directly involved in the technical work, the impact was noticeable in my day-to-day responsibilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing major comes to mind. It would be nice if there were more ways to preview available talent for upcoming projects, but overall we've had a good experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their patience and professionalism with enterprise processes. Our approval cycles aren't fast, and they adapted without complaint — kept documentation clean, flagged risks early, and never made us feel like we were being difficult. That kind of reliability matters when you have multiple stakeholders and audit requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

More proactive check-ins during the approvals stage would have been helpful. There were quieter periods where we had to initiate contact to confirm things were still moving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest differentiator is the talent quality. We've consistently been introduced to capable engineers who communicate well, work effectively during our US business hours, and adapt quickly to our team's way of working. Their account management is also one of the best parts of the experience. They're responsive, proactive, and genuinely focused on making the collaboration successful.

The overall experience has been very positive. A larger preview of upcoming available talent would make resource planning even easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate how Second Talent helped us fill three compliance-sensitive engineering roles across two SEA markets simultaneously, all within 9 weeks. The EOR was handled cleanly, and all three hires are actively contributing to our new product line, which has expedited the process and fast-tracked the timeline, ensuring the specs are implemented flawlessly and saving us a lot of headaches. Their compliance awareness, regulated development environments, and audit-conscious practices stood out as they screened for all of this naturally without our input. The shared candidate tracker they offer gave our stakeholders real-time visibility without requiring constant check-ins. The entire engagement was clean and well-managed, making it genuinely hard to find something to nitpick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing worth flagging. The engagement was clean and well-handled througout. It's genuinely hard to find fault with the entire process and how it runs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their ability to manage multi-market searches seamlessly is a standout. One point of contact, multiple markets covered. It made our lives much easier as a hiring manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Candidate availability for very senior roles in certain markets can be limited, but that's a market reality rather than a reflection of their service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They managed meeting scheduling effectively and gave follow-ups to connect me with potential employers, which was crucial in landing my role as a senior AI engineer. The advice I got from the agent was readily useful and critical in matching my skills with market opportunities. I'm also impressed with the collaborative services that connect candidates with job openings. I would definitely recommend Second Talent, as their agents have been amazing.
