Kalent is an AI-powered recruitment platform that uses natural language processing and advanced filters to streamline hiring. Its core features include AI-driven talent search, automated candidate matching, multi-channel outreach (LinkedIn, email, WhatsApp), interview scheduling, and team collaboration. The platform scans over 1 billion global profiles to identify candidates by skills, experience, and cultural fit. Founded in 2024 in Nantes, France, by Cédric Tournay, Edouard Vaudour, and Vincent Maillard de la Morandais, Kalent aims to reduce sourcing time and improve matching accuracy. The company raised €1.0M in a seed round and plans to use the funds to expand internationally—particularly into the US—and to launch a self-serve version for broader adoption. The raise was led by Kima Ventures alongside several business angels.
