About Talpods
Fostering exceptional tech talent
We recognize the urgent need for businesses to build high-performance tech teams that propel them through their product road-map with speed and quality. We know the talent market is falling short of available engineers who qualify for this demand, so we’re investing our energy on the next generation of world class tech talent to bridge this gap.
Our mission is to empower tech leaders to cultivate outstanding software engineers within their teams. To achieve this, we provide a first of its kind apprenticeship program, handpicking the brightest minds with exceptional ambition and drive, and through intensive on-the-job training, we supercharge their performance to superior productivity whilst accelerating their growth. The result is top-tier tech talent, tailor-made for our partners' culture and production environment, and trained by the best.
Transforming lives
We understand the challenges faced by emerging talent when launching their tech careers. Notably, the '3+ years of experience' hurdle increasingly sought by companies acts as a barrier for new entrants, in turn creating an intense bottleneck in the industry’s ability to expand its talent pool.
Our apprenticeship model removes this barrier by eliminating the cost and the friction for tech leaders to hire and nurture emerging talent. We achieve this by providing our partners with top lead engineers as dedicated mentors, guaranteeing immediate productivity of the talent without compromising the partners' own resources. This opens the door for career starters to join leading tech companies and accelerates their growth within a highly prosperous career.

Companies and Talent Love TalPods
"One of our main challenge was hiring and investing in junior engineers because that will require a lot of time and dedication from our senior engineers to help guide them, which will lead to a major slowdown in our roadmap execution... Something we can’t afford to do. Talpods offers a unique service by providing well-trained talent who are being mentored by their in-house senior engineers. We have them working on heavy projects and they deliver at the same level as mid-senior level engineers, while significantly saving our team’s time and efforts. This opens the door for more young talent to come in and be long-term champions in our team!"
Diyaa Hamza
CTO - Floward
"The CarSwitch marketplace is heavily reliant on advanced technology, and TalPods proved to be an asset in grooming our junior developers into the next phases of their careers. TalPods provided dedicated review, coaching and mentorship.. to considerably enhance raw software engineering skills, but also enhance retention as staff valued the investment in their own skillsets. This ultimately improved productivity, quality, and team spirit across the board. It was absolutely a worthwhile investment and would recommend TalPods to any organization seeking to boost their technological prowess to maximize the impact of their team."
Imad Hammad
CEO - CarSwitch
"At Transportr, we have made TalPods our go-to choice for software engineering needs time and again.

Moreover, their steadfast support and involvement throughout every phase of the development lifecycle guarantee seamless execution and exceptional outcomes."
