About Talyn
Talyn grew out of years of working with people, processes and organisations across different markets, and a desire to apply that experience through a more flexible and direct way of working with clients.

Not every project is equally complex or calls for the same way of working. What matters to us is that what we do works in practice and serves a clear business purpose.
Processes should serve the business, not the other way around.
We help you set a hiring strategy, improve processes and define better ways of working. The goal is not only to solve the immediate challenge, but to establish a framework that will support the business in the long run.
The right choice begins long before the first interview.
We manage the entire process - from defining the profile and actively sourcing candidates to selection and coordination of every step. Throughout the process, you have a clear view of progress, market feedback and what comes next.
Growing a team quickly does not have to mean compromising on quality.
We plan and lead large-scale recruitment projects, align processes and build effective candidate sourcing channels to deliver demanding hiring plans without compromising on quality or timelines.
Why Talyn
Talyn brings together a wider business perspective, hands-on delivery experience, and an understanding of both sides of the partnership.
We do not look at challenges through the lens of hiring alone. We consider people, processes and the organisation in a broader business context, so we can propose solutions that make sense for your business.
From entering new markets and building new teams to large-scale projects, working in fast-moving international environments has taught us to identify priorities quickly and maintain quality even when deadlines are tight and expectations are high.
For years, we worked with external partners from the client side. That experience means we understand what organisations expect from a strong partnership and what is often missing in practice.
We believe trust is built through what we do day after day. Clear agreements, thorough preparation and consistency in delivery matter just as much, regardless of the size or complexity of the work.

Words from former managers, colleagues and collaborators who have seen first-hand the professional approach, way of working and results that shape Talyn today.
To put it simply, Martina was the star of our 'Mission Impossible' in Talent Acquisition. She and her team routinely turned roadblocks into results, solving our toughest recruitment challenges. As a driving force behind the success of our German Region, she built a flawless stakeholder network and provided advice that was truly indispensable. Plus, she’s just an absolute pleasure to work with.
Working with Martina can be compared to driving a high-class, brand-new car. She embodies accountability at its finest; you can always be certain that your requests will be met, often accompanied by valuable insights on how to reach your destination faster and more efficiently in the future. Her proactive, goal-oriented approach and seamless communication are the reasons why our cooperation has always been successful.
My first contact with Martina was a phone call less than two hours after I applied for a Business Manager role at Transcom in 2019. Even then, I could sense everything Martina would go on to prove throughout our six and a half years of working together: that she is authentic, honest, results-driven, proactive, persistent and positive, an excellent negotiator, and that she has that indescribable “hunch” for people.
She simply knows how to recognise who will be a good fit, whether for a junior or a C-level role.
We worked together as colleagues on countless recruitment assignments across Europe, some of them seemingly “impossible”, but Martina’s attitude was always: “Let’s give it a try.”
She always thinks outside the box, keeps pace with technology and makes sure everyone around her is informed so that the best decisions can be made together. She holds herself and the people around her accountable.
As both a leader and an individual contributor, Martina is extremely qualified, talented and committed. She is one of the rare people who truly fit into both categories: “easy to work with” and “exceptional at her job”.
Martina Milicevic has served as our Head of Talent Acquisition for the DACH & Balkan regions. Throughout her tenure, Martina has been a top performer, consistently demonstrating a solid knowledge of the Balkan market, recruitment techniques, and recruitment marketing.
While her primary focus was the Balkan region, at her peak, she managed a scope of up to 13 countries in Europe. Martina is recognized for her strong stakeholder management skills and her ability to act as a partner and trusted advisor to senior leadership. Under her supervision, the Croatian market was stabilized from a challenging region into a successful operation, and Serbia grew to become one of the most diversified multilingual hubs in the EMEA.
In 2025, she successfully led her team to hire over 200 C1-level German speakers for one of our critical clients in less than four months. In early 2026, she was heavily involved in the implementation of a new multi-country client, successfully delivering 250 C1-level German and Italian hires. Crucially, alongside these high volumes, she consistently maintained an exceptional quality of hire.
Beyond delivery, Martina has excelled in people development. She mentored two very successful TA Managers, including one whose leadership won the Best EMEA Team award in 2024 and 2025.
I highly recommend Martina for any professional endeavor she chooses to pursue as she moves on to a new opportunity.
Martina is a highly competent professional with strong communication skills and a data-driven mindset, combined with a client-oriented approach that never loses sight of people. Her international experience is a huge asset, allowing her to easily handle large-scale global projects and work with multilingual teams. Working with her is a surefire recipe for success!
Working with Martina was phenomenal. We worked on an extremely demanding project, from a challenging client to a complex candidate approval process, and Martina handled it all flawlessly.
Her approach to the client, management of expectations and organisation of the team were exceptional. She showed incredible dedication and creativity, found solutions to seemingly impossible situations and worked beyond regular hours to keep everything running.
I can honestly say that without her, the project would not have been brought to a successful close. Martina is the kind of professional you rarely come across, and I would warmly recommend working with her to anyone.
I’ve worked with Martina for over six years, and she is easily one of the most capable recruitment leaders I’ve come across. Managing a global BPO recruitment team is a complex, high-volume role, but she handles it all seamlessly.
A few things that really stand out about working with her:
Deep market expertise: Martina has a thorough understanding of the global BPO landscape. She truly knows the regions she supports, acting as a genuine strategic partner rather than just filling vacancies.
Highly proactive: She doesn't simply react to recruitment needs as they arise; she anticipates shifts in hiring demands and always has a plan in place.
Brilliantly collaborative: Martina works effortlessly across different time zones and cultures, building strong, trusting relationships with stakeholders at all levels.
Consistently professional: No matter how high-pressure or fast-paced the environment gets, Martina remains completely calm, composed, and reliable.
Martina is an exceptional leader who delivers brilliant results, and I cannot recommend her services highly enough.
Working with Talyn
We tailor each engagement to the nature and scope of the work and the timeframe - from individual hires and advisory projects to larger recruitment initiatives and long-term partnerships.
When you need to find people for key positions or address a specific organisational challenge.
Covers individual, more demanding hires and clearly defined advisory projects, such as process improvement, defining roles and responsibilities, or preparing for business expansion.
When you need to hire a larger number of people within a short timeframe or maintain a high hiring pace over the longer term.
The focus is on coordinating multiple recruitment processes in parallel and organising a process that can respond to intensive and changing needs. This may include team growth, increased turnover, seasonal demand or new business requirements.
When you need ongoing external support over a longer period.
The partnership can combine consulting, process development and recruitment support, depending on current priorities. This approach ensures continuity while allowing priorities to evolve with the needs of the business.
Regardless of the model
We define the way of working, next steps and realistic expectations from the start. Open communication and information sharing are the foundation of a successful engagement.
One person leads and coordinates the agreed activities and follows them through from start to finish.
We adapt our capacity to the scope of each project, bringing in additional specialists when needed to maintain quality and continuity.
Clients
We work with organisations at different stages of growth – whether they are looking to improve the way they work, hire for key roles, expand their teams or enter new markets.
We bring particular experience in BPO and high-volume hiring, as well as recruitment across industries with very different workforce needs - from telecommunications and banking to tourism.
FAQ
The first step is simple - get in touch through our contact form, by email or by phone. We'll talk through what you want to achieve, the context we need to consider, and your initial requirements and timelines.
We then gather the information relevant to the specific service or project so we can realistically assess the resources required, timeframe and costs.
Based on that, we prepare a proposal outlining what Talyn will take responsibility for, what we need from you, the expected timeline, how results will be tracked and the price. For more complex projects, we also agree on key contacts, communication and reporting, and each side's responsibilities.
For advisory services, our work is not necessarily tied to a particular market. We can support organisations beyond the region when the project can be delivered effectively regardless of location, while still taking into account any local factors that may affect the outcome.
For recruitment, our focus is more specific. We work primarily in Croatia and the wider region: Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and North Macedonia, including on projects spanning multiple markets or languages.
Pricing depends on the type of service, the scope and complexity of the project, and the way we work together. We agree the commercial terms and all known costs before we begin, so you know in advance what is included in the agreed price and when you will be invoiced.
For advisory services, pricing is based on the scope and duration of the project, with invoicing on completion or at agreed stages for longer projects.
For individual hires, the fee is based on a successful hire and is invoiced only on the candidate's first working day. If a candidate withdraws before starting, no fee is charged. We also offer a 30-day replacement guarantee. If the candidate leaves within that period, we will carry out a new search for the same position at no additional fee, subject to the terms agreed in advance.
For large-scale projects, pricing is tailored to the scope, pace and specific requirements of the project. Where a fee per hire is agreed, it is invoiced on the candidate's first working day. Higher volumes may allow for a lower fee per hire, while any replacement terms are agreed based on the specific requirements of the project.
For long-term partnerships, pricing is based on the agreed scope, required capacity and duration of the engagement, and is invoiced monthly.
Any activities or costs outside the initial agreement are discussed and agreed with the client in advance.
No. Talyn provides candidate sourcing and selection, as well as advisory services. We do not employ workers for assignment to clients or provide services related to bringing foreign workers into the country and arranging their employment. Candidates sourced and presented by Talyn are employed directly by the client.
