Our Story

Building Technology That
Moves People Forward

TalentGrid HCM is a Calgary-based human capital management company on a mission to make the labor market work better for everyone.

TalentGrid HCM was founded with a singular vision: to build technology that removes friction from the employment lifecycle. We saw how fragmented the job market was. Employers struggling to find the right candidates, professionals struggling to stand out. We knew technology could bridge the gap.

From our headquarters in Calgary, Alberta, we've built two platforms that serve distinct but complementary roles in the human capital ecosystem. Placetohire connects employers with candidates across North America, while Nainly helps professionals take control of their career narrative through personal branding and career marketing.

We're building more than products. We're building a connected ecosystem where every tool we create makes the others more powerful.

We believe technology should remove barriers between people and opportunity.
