    Jessica

    Account Executive Spain TalentDesk
    Hello everyone! My name is Jessica Kelly. I am from Houston, Texas and moved to Madrid, Spain in August of last year. As soon as I graduated from University in 2014, with a Bachelors in International Business and a Bachelors in Spanish, I began working in sales. I took a two year break from sales, while I taught English in Spain and Vietnam. I love traveling, but more so, really immersing myself in other cultures. After those two years, I began selling health insurance and HR PEO plans, before moving back to Spain, where I worked in the sales of SaaS for a bit. I am excited to get to work with everyone and continue learning and growing at TalentDesk

    Roman

    Sales Development Representative United Kingdom TalentDesk
    I was born in Vilnius (capital of Lithuania). Been living in UK for almost 7 years. Graduated with a BA in Marketing Management and Masters in Project Management. Huge fan of boxing and martial arts. My ideal day would start with a morning meditation session that focuses on clearing my mind and being grateful for the things I have. Followed by an audiobook on the way to the gym and sauna. After that, I give my 110% to work and reward myself with a cheeky burrito afterward. Favorite quote: “Judge a man by his question rather than his answer” - Voltaire.

    Max

    Customer Success Manager United Kingdom TalentDesk

    Customer Success has always been a focus of mine because of the great relationships you get to build with your clients. Getting to know their goals and helping achieve them, working on pain points and growing together, what more could you ask for? Every day is unique as you never know what's coming your way! Outside of work I'm rugby crazy, playing every weekend and then straight to the pub after to watch it, the perfect Saturday.

Our story

2008

2008

Planting the seed

Our founder Xenios started a one-pager website called PAperHour. 3.5 million sign-ups later, the one-pager is now called PeoplePerHour and serves as Europe’s largest freelance marketplace.

2016

2016

Light-bulb moment

The world progressed, but businesses still struggled to manage and pay their contractors via spreadsheets. There had to be a better way.

2017

2017

TalentDesk launches

Xenios and co-founder Sotiris turn another idea into reality, with the very first version of TalentDesk.io. It was time for businesses to ditch those spreadsheets and embrace the new world of work.

2020

2020

The world goes remote

Almost overnight, the world saw an unprecedented shift. Businesses had to face the reality that being flexible and working remotely was no longer a luxury, but a necessity.

2030

Talent before geography

The world of work has changed forever. In the not-too-distant future, we strongly believe that our vision of a truly flexible, borderless workforce will be the norm.
