What stood out to me wasn't really the number of profiles we received, but how easy it was to have an actual conversation about the people behind them. The candidates came into the process with enough context around their previous work that our team could get past the usual CV discussion pretty quickly. That was useful for us because we could talk about how someone approaches their work, communicates with teammates, and handles situations that are closer to what they would actually encounter day to day.

There were a couple of moments where I would have preferred a faster turnaround between one step and the next. It wasn't something that stopped the process, but having clearer expectations around timing would make the experience feel a little smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We initially used Second Talent because we needed someone who could fit into our marketing workflow rather than simply having "marketing" listed on their CV. The profiles we received gave us a good starting point because we could see experience that was relevant to the type of work our team actually handles. That means being able to focus the conversations around things like campaign experience, content work, working with different stakeholders, and how someone approaches their day-to-day responsibilities.

The process can take a little longer when we are looking for a very specific marketing background. For example, finding someone who has the right mix of channel experience and familiarity with our type of business is not always immediate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The people we worked with were able to get into the details pretty quickly. They were comfortable working through unfamiliar parts of the product, asking questions when something wasn't clear, and taking ownership once they had enough context. I particularly liked that collaboration didn't feel overly structured or bureaucratic—we could actually get work done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd like to have a little more visibility into upcoming talent availability, especially when we're thinking about projects several months ahead. Other than that, the experience has been solid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What stood out wasn't just the technical ability, but how quickly people became part of the team's day-to-day workflow. Within a short time they were joining discussions, contributing ideas during planning, and working comfortably alongside the existing team. It never felt like we had to constantly explain how we work or revisit the same context over and over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing significant. It would be useful if there were occasionally more candidates with direct experience building B2B SaaS products, but overall we've been happy with the experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The talent quality has been consistently strong. Everyone we’ve worked with was already comfortable using AI tools as part of their day-to-day workflow, so we didn’t have to spend time teaching new processes or explaining how we operate. They were proactive and collaborative, and they were able to start contributing almost immediately. Another standout has been the account management: the team is responsive, clear in their communication, and quick to adjust whenever our priorities shift. Overall, it feels like they’re genuinely invested in helping us find the right people, rather than simply filling a request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, my experience has been very positive. The only improvement I’d suggest is offering more visibility into upcoming AI-native talent, as that would make it even easier to plan future projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The talent quality has been the part I've appreciated most. The people we worked with weren't just technically capable; they were curious about how the product worked and comfortable experimenting with newer tools. That made a difference when we were working on things where there wasn't always an established playbook to follow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd like to have more visibility into upcoming talent availability, particularly when we're planning projects a few months ahead. Aside from that, the experience has been positive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.
