candidate emails per open role — managed by one recruiter on average

These aren't edge cases — they're the daily cost of using a generic inbox not built for how HR teams operate. Talanoa was designed from the ground up to change that.

The problem

Sound familiar?

You're not the only one. Here's what people in your role deal with every single day.

01

Candidate emails flood your inbox

Every open role generates dozens of applications, follow-up questions, scheduling requests, and rejections to send. When you're hiring for 10 roles at once, your inbox becomes a full-time job in itself.

Application acknowledgements Interview scheduling threads Rejection & offer letters Background check follow-ups
02

Onboarding paperwork chains go cold

New hire paperwork, IT setup requests, benefits enrollment — every onboarding involves a dozen email threads across different teams. Things fall through the cracks. New hires notice.

IT equipment provisioning chains Benefits enrollment reminders Policy acknowledgement follow-ups Manager intro threads
03

Sensitive conversations need discretion

Performance reviews, disciplinary actions, salary negotiations, and personal employee matters need to be handled with care — and your current inbox treats them like any other email.

Performance improvement plans Salary negotiation threads Confidential termination processes Employee relations cases
