How Talential works

We turn your gut feeling into something everyone can see.

When three owners vouch that someone's reliable, it stops being an opinion. It becomes a record they carry for life.

1

Post in a minute

Say what you need, salary up front. Done before your coffee.

2

See who's trusted

We shortlist people other owners already trust, matched to your floor.

3

Hire with proof

Real history from owners like you. Not a black box.

4

Build the record

Every good hire you log makes your next one easier.

→ The profile belongs to the talent. The trust belongs to the neighbourhood.

We'd rather have you as a founder than a customer. Your spot is free. You pay in belief, not money. Your word is worth more than the fee.

  • Two simple posts. One on join, one on Founding Day. We send the captions and pictures.
What you get
  • Free Network access, normally 2.2M VND
  • A ready-made content kit, captions and visuals included
  • Your name in the Founding 100
  • A founding badge on your profile
  • A seat on Founding Day
Founding Day

One day. One hour. All of Thảo Điền hears about you at once.

Every founding place posts at the same hour. The whole neighbourhood sees all of you at once. You post once, and get reach you could never buy alone.

Straight answers

The questions every owner asks.

Is it really free?
Yes, for small independents in Thảo Điền. The 2.2M VND fee is only for large multi-outlet brands. If you're an independent shop with real impact here, you pay nothing.
What's the catch?
No catch, no chain. You give two honest intros and two simple posts. That's the whole price. No quotas, no subscription, no fine print.
How is this different from a Facebook group?
A group forgets. Talential remembers. Every recommendation builds a permanent record the worker carries, so the next owner inherits the trust instead of starting from zero.
What content do I have to make?
Two simple posts: one on join, one on Founding Day. We send the captions and visuals. Minutes each.
Who decides if someone is good?
Owners like you. Peer-validated, not an algorithm. The people who worked a shift with someone are the only ones who really know.

Two doors down, the best hire you'll ever make is finishing someone else's shift. Let's put the neighbourhood on one network.
