Talendium Internal Talent Marketplace matches employees with internal roles, stretch projects, and short-term gigs. Employees build profiles describing their skills and aspirations; posted opportunities are then matched and recommended by AI in both directions. The Skill Passport builds and updates skill profiles from work history, projects, learning, certifications, and peer feedback. Employees may opt into project gigs, while conversations and transitions take place within the platform. Matching considers both what people can do and what they want to do. Configurable talent policies are intended to prevent managers from blocking employee movement. Talendium says it connects with ATS, HRIS, payroll, and communication systems, including Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Greenhouse, Lever, BambooHR, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and WhatsApp. The company describes audit logs, role-based access, configurable retention policies, regional data residency, and human review for sensitive decisions. Talendium identifies HR, talent acquisition, people operations, L&D, and compliance teams as users, serving organizations from 50 to 50,000 people.
