You need to drive innovation but lack the right people to do it?
Make use of our proven experience in the innovation space combined with a dedicated focus on talent gaps!

The war for talent is the limited pipeline of candidates with the unique blend of skills required for innovation roles, intensified by evolving workforce expectations, unappealing traditional hiring practices, and intense competition from agile startups.
A barrier to innovation lies in the difficulty of finding uniquely skilled individuals who combine entrepreneurial experience, passion for innovation, and nontraditional skills like design thinking and rapid prototyping, leading to a persistent talent mismatch in corporate innovation roles.
We understand the struggle of finding the unique type of people within this war of talent. Pioneers.Talent is your solution to get the best people for your innovation team or venture. We support organizations in hiring demanding profiles and key positions.
