Berlin, 06.06.2024 – Tälist, the leading global provider of talent solutions for the Alternative Protein industry, announces the launch of its AI-powered matchmaking platform, AltProtein.Jobs. The start-up uses AI algorithms to efficiently connect job seekers and employers, ensuring fast and precise matches to accelerate the transition to a sustainable food system.

What Are Alternative Proteins?

Alternative Proteins include plant-based, cultivated, and fermentation-derived food products that offer sustainable alternatives to traditional animal products. They are essential for addressing sustainability, animal welfare, and food security and contribute to UN sustainability goals. With the industry rapidly expanding, there's a high demand for skilled professionals to drive this transformation.

How Matchmaking Works

The AI-based matchmaking platform AltProtein.Jobs is revolutionizing the way companies recruit talent in the Alternative Protein sector:

Highly accurate matches: Advanced data analytics ensure the best matches between thousands of candidates and jobs.
Time efficiency: AI supported candidate screening in seconds significantly reduces recruitment time.
Cost reduction: Filling roles faster significantly reduces the costs of vacancies.

Since its launch a few weeks ago, Tälist’s matchmaking service has found:

25.000 with a score of 7 or higher (out of 10),
9.400 with a score of 8 or higher,
2.000 with a score of 9 or higher.

“Finding the best candidates can be just as challenging as finding the right partner. We bring the concept of dating platforms to HR,” says Pia Voltz, Founder & CEO of Tälist. “Thanks to our platform AltProtein.Jobs, companies can find qualified candidates who also fit in culturally. This leads to higher satisfaction and long-term success.”

“Our AI-based algorithms compare the skills, experience and preferences of candidates with the specific requirements of open roles, calculate matching scores and indicate compatibilities (and incompatibilities),” says Oliver Boldt, CTO of Tälist. “This involves processing volumes of data that are impossible for humans to handle. The result is a more successful and efficient recruitment strategy that saves both time and resources.”
