As part of a class project, I saw an opportunity not just to fulfill academic requirements, but to create real-world impact. I proactively reached out to Talemy—an HR consulting startup in Vietnam where I previously interned—and proposed a collaboration to improve their onboarding process for new recruiter consultants.
About Talemy
Talemy focuses on identifying potential in candidates and is committed to training employees from the ground up. Their onboarding process targets entry-level recruiters and needed a more structured, scalable approach.
