GatedTalent, which was launched in October 2017, to allow executives to share information with recruiters in a private manner while also assisting recruiters in their GDPR compliance, has become the fastest selling new product in the Dillistone Group’shistory. The GatedTalent platform enables executives to ensure their data is always up to date and can only be shared with recruiters of their choice. This change of emphasis gives both executives and recruiters unparalleled confidence in the quality of the network.

With initial demand for the platform driven by GDPR compliance, the company is pleased to report that by the end of November, contracts had been received from firms in more than a dozen countries across the European continent. Pleasingly, a number of additional contracts have been won with businesses based outside of the EU who see the value in the new portal as a way of increasing engagement with candidates.

In the UK alone, contracts have now been signed with more than 20 firms with clients including generalist executive search firms along with boutiques in niches as diverse as Board Search, Financial Services, Technology and Pharmaceuticals.

Clients on the platform will essentially be sending invitations to senior level executives, inviting them to join the GatedTalent network. Many of the early adopters operate internationally, meaning that invitations can be expected to be sent to a truly global executive pool.
