About Talen.to
Talen.to is the culture-fit assessment and hiring-decision platform powered by behavioral science (OCEAN+): hire, map potential, and retain with data—not gut feeling.

We help People teams measure personality and values against the real role and company profile—beyond the résumé—so the right talent lands in the right seat.

Why Talen.to exists
Fran Troiano — Founder & CEO
I've spent a good part of my career hiring, managing teams, and letting people go too. And I learned that a bad hire almost never fails for lack of skills. It fails on attitude, on values, on how that person decides when nobody's telling them what to do.
AI makes that impossible to ignore. Technical skills are getting faster to learn, to automate, and to buy. What doesn't automate is judgment: what you prioritize, how you react when something goes wrong, whether your values pull in the same direction as your team's.
That's exactly the hardest thing to assess. A résumé doesn't show it, and an interview shows it only halfway. I built Talen.to to measure it with behavioral science and put it on the table when you decide who to hire, promote, or move.

FAQ
What is Talen.to?
A SaaS platform for culture-fit and hiring assessment: it measures personality (OCEAN+) and values for selection and team decisions.
What do you sell?
Culture Fit Assessment by Talen.to for selection, a hiring ATS with Fit Score, Talento Index by Talen.to for the current team, and a culture diagnostic/workshop.
Who is it for?
People Ops, Talent Acquisition, CHROs, and CEOs choosing assessment tools—not candidates looking for interview tips.
How is it different from Culture Index, Culture Amp, or MBTI?
Culture Index often pairs with an advisor and a proprietary model; Culture Amp focuses on post-hire engagement; MBTI fits coaching better than hiring prediction. Culture Fit Assessment by Talen.to focuses on pre-hire fit with OCEAN+ and values inside the selection flow.
What is OCEAN+ and why six dimensions?
OCEAN (Big Five) is the most widely used personality framework in organizational research. OCEAN+ adds a sixth Structure & Pace dimension for more actionable role decisions, plus matching to your company values.
Why measure attitude and values, not just skills?
Because AI is making technical skills more accessible, so what separates a good hire becomes how that person thinks, decides, and works with your team. It's the hardest thing to see in a résumé or an interview, and it's what Culture Fit Assessment by Talen.to measures with OCEAN+ and values.
