The Taalentfy platform, which unites companies with the best talent and helps candidates get a job based on the capabilities of each person beyond their resume, already boasts 40,000 users and 400 companies registered.

Thanks to its talent measurement tools and TaalentX engine, with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning incorporated, Taalentfy manages to unite users with companies, valuing skills and competencies and "discovering the brilliant talent that companies need to be more and more competitive with happier employees", as indicated by Junta de Andalucía.

Taalentfy is the platform that makes use of tools such as Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning to calculate the percentage of affinity between users, creating a previous diagnosis through tests of personality and skills incorporated. It started in 2016 only with its Founder and CEO Alejandro González, and currently has a staff of 14 employees that continues to grow. Since its inception, it has obtained a total investment of 763,000 euros. Some of its most prominent clients are the University of Malaga and the College of Industrial Engineers of Madrid, which have created employment platforms based on talent for their students through Taalentfy's innovative technology and vision.

The territorial delegate of Employment, Training, Autonomous Work, Economy, Knowledge, Business and University of Junta de Andalucía in Málaga, Carmen Sánchez, recently visited the Taalentfy platform developed by Malaga-based company Knowledgefy Technologies, which was accelerated by the Minerva Program in 2017 call and was one of the five finalists that secured 30,000 euros in financing.

Accompanied by Francisco Bueno, executive of Great Accounts of Vodafone and Marián Valverde, representative of the University of Malaga, has highlighted "the great potential" of the Minerva Program, which has been recognized "as the first advanced business accelerator in Andalusia and number four in Spain in entreprenurial services."

Sanchez has announced that the Minerva Program will open the seventh startup acceleration call next October: "In the Andalusian Government, we are still committed to the great technological potential that exists in our community that can influence the improvement of the quality of life of citizens and business efficiency." He also recalled that "four out of five projects accelerated by the Minerva Program are still active," placing the survival rate at more than 80 percent.

Thus, he stressed that it is "a clear example of this potential well used is the case of Taalentfy, which proposes to go beyond employment", as the delegate said, since "they put companies and candidates in contact according to his talent", pointing out that companies can identify what these candidates are good for, beyond their professional records and experience.

In addition, the Malaga platform has been recognized as "best social work project in the Hispanic region" at the New York Summit 2017. It also won the Internet Day Award for the best research and entrepreneurship project in 2017, the Prize to the Innovative Talent in the V Congress of Collective Intelligence in 2016, and the 2017 Sur.es Evolution Award and BBVA for the best project that applies information technologies to a classic business model.
