Talo's 9 Figure Flow Reviews 46

We’ve now worked with The Headhunter Talo on three roles. Two of them have been a great fit and are still in the right place.

One candidate didn’t make it through the trial period, but honestly, that can happen and no one can fully control that. What mattered to us was how they handled it. They credited the amount we had spent on that hire, and we’re now using that credit toward a new role.

They’re currently helping us with a fourth position, and we have full trust in them. Fair, professional, and solution-focused.

I’ve been placed with clients through Talo, and the experience has been excellent. We’ve consistently delivered strong outcomes, helping them secure hires and maintain a steady flow of high-quality candidates.

For over a year, Talo has supported both me and the business I was placed in. During that time, I was also recognized as a top performer for the year, which I’m really grateful for.

A massive thank you to Talo for the opportunity and support throughout. The e-commerce business we worked with was booming during that period, and the team was performing exceptionally well. It’s been a great environment to grow and contribute in.

Great experience working with the team. After the first candidate did not work out, the team was quick to take action and we ended up finding a great hire. Thank you!

I was directly involved in screening and interviewing the CSM candidates sent to us by Talo’s 9 Figure Flow.

For the CSM role specifically, we received 17 candidates across multiple batches. None became a successful long-term CSM hire. Most failed screening or interviews, one failed the trial within 5 days, one ghosted before the live interview, and one withdrew before the interview.

The main issue was not that hiring takes time, we understand recruiting requires feedback and iteration. The issue was that the candidate quality was consistently far below what we needed, even after we provided detailed job descriptions, role context, scorecards, ideal candidate profiles, and direct feedback after interviews.

This also created a heavy time cost for us internally. I personally spent around 25 hours on screening, live interviews, emails, feedback calls, setup, test tasks, and trial-related work.

From my perspective, the candidates were not properly matched to the role. Many were not close to the level of communication, ownership, or client-facing ability needed for a high-ownership CSM position.

We were willing to pay for the time already used, but after 2 months and multiple unsuitable batches, continuing the rest of a 12-month agreement made no sense for us.

Based on my direct experience managing the candidate pipeline, I would not recommend them for companies that need carefully screened, high-quality candidates for serious client-facing roles.

We signed up with Talo's 9 Figure Flow after an initial call where the founder set very specific expectations: successful hires within a two-week window, ability to fill any role, multiple candidates per position, "unlimited" sourcing, and active strategies like running ads and headhunting talent from other companies.

Based on those commitments, we paid almost $30,000 for a one-year agreement.

Our goal was straightforward. We wanted to benchmark their service against the in-house hiring process we'd built ourselves, which costs a fraction of this. After giving the engagement a real shot, the comparison wasn't close, and not in their favor.

What we experienced versus what was promised:
▸ The two-week timeline did not hold up for the roles we needed.
▸ Candidate quality was consistently below what we sourced ourselves through standard job platforms.
▸ The "unlimited candidates" framing did not translate into a usable pipeline of qualified people.
▸ We saw little evidence of the proactive sourcing (ads, headhunting) that was pitched to us.

On screening, we put a few of their candidates on trial despite our reservations, just to be fair. The results were rough. In one case, a candidate was caught watching adult content while clocked in on our time-tracking tool, the kind of thing a strong vetting process should catch before a candidate ever reaches a client.

Communication on their end was also weaker than we'd expect for this price point, with slow responsiveness and limited proactive updates throughout the engagement.

Bottom line, we got noticeably better hires through our own direct efforts on basic job boards than through this agency.

For the money we spent, a dedicated in-house recruiting assistant would have delivered substantially more value.

We would not renew, and we would not recommend the service based on our experience.

Terrible experience. They charged us $29k for a year of recruiting. No suitable candidates, no refunds, unprofessional and immoral.

Two months of working with them and we got the following results:

25 candidates, all of them unqualified. They didn't speak proper English, didn't understand what the roles they applied for were about, didn't understand our offer. Mind you, these were the candidates that had been "pre-screened" by Talo's 9 Figure Flow already.

We jumped on multiple feedback calls with Talo's 9 Figure Flow, really taking our time to point out the short comings, clarified every point of contention, but nothing changed in the next batch of candidates.

We've been working in parallel with other agencies at the same time. All of them delivered multiple suitable candidates without any issues, which further proved to us that something must be fundamentally flawed in the way Talo's 9 Figure Flow is operating.

We have been working with multiple agencies over the past 5 years and never had an experience this unprofessional. We provided Talo's 9 Figure Flow with detailed job descriptions, context on our audience, our company, our offers, scorecards, ideal candidate profiles etc. Judging by the quality of clients that came from them they must have either ignored those or simply didn't care to look.

After 2 months of wasting our time with terrible candidates we decided to cut our collaboration short amicably. Since we had paid $29k for an entire year we offered that they keep funds worth of 2 months of their work (even though they didn't deliver a single suitable candidate) and they refund us for the rest of the year, which they have declined.

After multiple days of back and forth with the owner, Jack Robson he continuously declined our right to a refund and reverted to gaslighting us. He admitted himself in writing that the candidates they delivered were subpar and unusable. The "solution" he then offered was simply that a refund was out of the question and we should continue to work with them (even though he admitted he wouldn't know how to get the quality of candidates up to an acceptable standard).

Stay away from this company.

I've been through multiple recruiting processes but nothing compares to how seamless the process at Talo was. Gladys and Cindy are great people and possess such good communication and coordination skills. They value your time as a candidate, give you valuable advice and keep you posted every step of the way. I'm extremely happy for taking up this journey with Talo and I highly recommend them to anyone!

I had a really great experience with Talo throughout my hiring process.

Gladys and Cindy were incredibly responsive from start to finish. They kept me in the loop at every stage and made sure I always knew what to expect next. That level of communication honestly made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free.

What stood out the most to me was how seamless everything felt. There were no long gaps, no confusion, and no chasing for updates, everything was handled efficiently and professionally.

Overall, it was a very positive experience, and I truly appreciate the effort Gladys and Cindy put into making the process so well-coordinated.

They were very fast and efficient and professional and great to work with overall!

Process was fast, communication was stellar, everything is explained very well, and easy to work with, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Working under TALO has been an incredibly rewarding experience. They go above and beyond to ensure that you are well-supported by your clients, while also prioritizing your overall well-being. TALO genuinely cares about your mental health and stability, making sure that everything is in place for you to thrive both personally and professionally.

I've been a partner with VA2U for over a year now, and they truly stand out. They are incredibly efficient, pairing me with clients much sooner than other agencies. I also love their culture of trust—having no intrusive monitoring makes a world of difference for productivity. Highly recommend!

It's my first time working with overseas talent hunting company, and I can assure you that I'm very lucky to be able to work with TALO. The team is great and very responsive, overall it's very good. 💪

I had the chance to get my first international job experience thanks to Talo's help. Gladys was the recruiter responsible for my process and she was always very supportive and kind in every step of the selection and the hiring process.

It's my second time working with a client under Talo, and they never failed to support me throughout my journey. They always take care of their employees and giving me assurance whenever needed. Glady's and Diosa have been very helpful since day one and I can't thank them enough. Cheers!

I am so grateful that I am hired in this company. Great experiences such as processing our payrolls ahead and on time without delays. Accurate on time in and out on records. And especially a healthy working environment.

I am incredibly grateful to the team at 9 Figure Flow for helping me secure a fantastic new role. The entire process—from the initial discovery to understanding the client’s specific needs—was handled with absolute professionalism. Jack and the team are pure class and truly dedicated to excellence. I can’t thank them enough for this life-changing experience!

Jack and the team amazing to work with very fast and efficient barely had to wait they delivered fast and high quality

Jack and his team at The TaloCo were amazing in the recruitment process, not only did they place my Executive Assistant within a week, but they also placed the best candidate I could ask for.

She has honestly made my life 100x easier and more efficient. Thanks again to Jack and his team, I could not recommend them more, 10/10!
