How Equalture built a fast, data-driven recruitment process with Tellent Recruitee

Equalture approaches hiring with a fresh perspective. The HR technology company believes there’s more to candidates than what’s listed on their CV. And they’re focused on spotting potential, the kind that helps people succeed.

Rapid growth meant their team had to keep up without losing sight of culture or data-driven decisions. By bringing their own assessment tools and Tellent Recruitee’s all-in-one recruitment platform together, Equalture created a hiring process that’s personal, consistent, and built for the speed of a real startup.

About Equalture

Equalture is an innovative HR technology company headquartered in Rotterdam, Netherlands, founded by Charlotte and Fleur Melkert in 2018. The company helps organizations to make fair, data-driven hiring decisions at scale by replacing traditional resumes with neuroscientific, game-based assessments. These assessments measure candidate competencies in a fun, objective, and bias-resistant way, right from the first step of the application process.

With a fast-growing team and a growing enterprise client base, Equalture helps companies attract a wider, more diverse talent pool. Its platform is certified for security and integrates seamlessly with leading applicant tracking systems.

The Equalture team embodies the drive and energy of a typical startup. As co-founder and CEO Charlotte Melkert describes, “We work hard to get things done, but we also celebrate every single success we have. Even if it's a really small thing.”

The challenge

From day one, Equalture’s rapid growth meant hiring was a top priority. As a company that builds pre-selection technology, they needed a hiring process as data-driven and efficient as their own product. Traditional applicant tracking systems (ATS) often struggled with the integrations and flexibility required for Equalture’s unique needs and philosophy. The challenge was to find a recruitment solution that would support seamless data flow and allow custom integrations, without compromising the candidate experience or workflow efficiency.

The solution

Equalture selected Tellent Recruitee for its robust integration capabilities and commitment to data-driven workflows. Charlotte shares, “From the very beginning, we chose Tellent Recruitee because we needed a platform that would let us build a careers site and keep our hiring process truly data-driven. One that could fully integrate with our own technology.”

Even when technical challenges appeared, the Tellent Recruitee team responded with flexibility and determination: “When we ran into technical challenges, the Tellent Recruitee team didn’t hesitate. We reached out to them, and shortly after, they made it happen exactly as we needed it.”

This partnership resulted in a seamless, optimal integration, turning expectations into reality and ensuring Equalture’s specialized technology remained at the core of their recruitment.

The results

With Tellent Recruitee, Equalture now enjoys a recruitment platform that perfectly supports integration, making the entire hiring process smooth, customized, and fully data-driven. Charlotte highlights this as the greatest benefit: “Having that seamless integration in place was a game-changer. It made our entire recruitment process as smooth and optimal as we had hoped. It has really exceeded my expectations.”

The real value for us was in how seamlessly Tellent Recruitee integrated with our own technology. Managing applicants and assessments became one smooth, unified process.
