How we work

Four things HoldTalent actually does.

01

Three fields, EU-wide

Roles across Europe in Cybersecurity, GRC and Privacy & AI Governance. Nothing else.

02

Straight to the employer

Every listing links to the company's own page. No aggregators, no reposts, no dead ends.

03

Screened, not scraped

A person checks every listing, and we block job sources known for fake AI posts, no replies or reselling applicant data.

04

Free for jobseekers

Free to browse, apply and upskill, no account needed. Employers get a free trial to start.

Who it is for

One board, built for both sides.

For jobseekers

  • Apply on the employer's own page, never an aggregator
  • A salary label when the employer states a range

For employers

Reach specialists, keep control

  • In front of people who already do this work
  • Applicants apply on your own page
  • The niche is the filter, so we never rank or score your shortlist
  • Verified employer badge after a human check
  • Free EU AI Act hiring kit, free trial to post your first roles

What this is

Three fields, nothing else.

Narrow scope means a search takes minutes, not evenings.

01

Cybersecurity

Keeping systems, networks and data safe, and responding when something breaks.

Blue & red team
02

GRC

Governance, risk and compliance. Policies, controls and audits.

Policy & controls
03

Privacy & AI Governance

How personal data and AI systems are collected, used and governed. GDPR day-to-day, plus who is accountable when AI is built or used.

GDPR & EU AI Act
Our position on AI in hiring

We are a job board, not a screening tool.

HoldTalent never touches, ranks, scores or sells your applicants. And the niche is already the filter: the board only carries three fields, so your shortlist is narrow before you start. There is nothing left for an algorithm to cut down.

What we will not feature

  • Ranking or scoring candidates with AI
  • Automated interview scoring
  • AI avatars standing in for a recruiter
  • One-way video with no human interview
  • Auto-reject with no human in the loop

What we welcome

AI that helps with admin only: scheduling, status updates, note summaries, drafting emails. A person still decides who advances.

The EU AI Act treats candidate-filtering AI as high-risk. A plain-language readiness checklist and timeline for employers live on the Employers page.

This page is educational information only, not legal advice. Employers are responsible for their own hiring practices and for any notices they owe candidates. Guidance here follows EU AI Act aware practice and is updated as the rules change.

About the project
Ani Barry
“I built HoldTalent because these roles get buried on generic boards. A small, focused board that's honest about hiring and sends you straight to the employer, with nothing in between.”
