Andrew Lavelle, co-founder of TalentPool and managing director of Alvius, commented: “We have seen with TalentPool how technology can take the pain out of hiring.

“Now employers can use our software to create their own talent platforms, replacing slow and inefficient sourcing and selection processes and matching great talent with current opportunities in a fraction of the time.”
