You just spent €140,000 on the wrong engineer.
You didn't know it yet. But six months later you did. Slow velocity. Team friction. Another round of interviews. The agency took their €18,000 fee and moved on.
TalentQueenAI runs your entire hiring pipeline.
From job description to signed offer — structured, scored, automated. You spend 2 hours instead of 40. You hire the right person the first time.
“We stopped using an agency for engineering roles entirely.”
“Our shortlists went from ‘whoever applied’ to ‘people who can actually do the job.’”
“I used to dread opening my inbox during a hiring cycle. Now I just review the ranked list.”
