THE HIRING PROBLEM

LinkedIn is
Too Big

It’s overwhelming—top talent and studios get lost in the noise, and the two are unable to match effectively.

Recruiters, Too expensive

Recruiter fees have risen significantly in recent years, making them out of budget for most studios.  

Job Boards Don't work

Job boards don't attract the right talent or roles. Hundreds will apply, but only a few will be right.

The Process
is too slow

Endless resume screening and unstructured interviews lead to a prolonged hiring process and stalled growth.

Reviews

Interior Design Founder in Los Angeles

I recently discovered DukeTalent.io and decided to give it a try. In the past, when posting job listings, I often ended up with candidates who were either under qualified or not even in the relevant field. This platform was a game changer. I was able to find an amazing candidate in just one day – something that would have taken weeks using the standard ways.
Duke was very hands-on and really took the time to understand what I was looking for. The platform itself is incredibly user-friendly, with filters that allow you to narrow down your search by location, years of experience, and more.
This is the service I wish I had known about a year ago. It would have saved me a tremendous amount of time and energy!
