Tellam turns hiring back into word of mouth. Send one link to the people you trust, and they reply however they like — Tellam does the sorting.

Problem

The best hires come recommended, but referral programs bury that instinct under forms. Ask a busy person to fill in structured fields and they won't — so the warmest candidates never make it into the pipeline, and the intros that do get lost.

Solution

Tellam collapses the ask to a single link and a free-text reply. Someone can send a name or ten, in their own words. Tellam reads the ramble and splits it into one tidy row per person, pairs names with LinkedIn when they clearly belong together, flags the hedges, and never invents a profile. Every candidate stays credited to whoever vouched for them.

How it works

You share a link. Referrers reply in plain language — no forms. Tellam parses each reply into structured candidate rows: name, profile, confidence, and the voucher, ready to action and with nothing fabricated.

Why now

Trust is the highest-signal hiring filter there is, and it's the one most tools throw away by demanding structure up front. Make trusted referrals effortless to give and impossible to lose, and the best people surface on their own.
