Who you work with

Victor Uncuta

CEO, TalentSync · Chișinău, Moldova

Every search runs through one person. Victor Uncuta takes the brief, writes the search, approaches engineers directly, runs the first technical conversation and stays with the engagement through your interviews to signature. There is no account manager between you and the work and no handover to a delivery team once terms are agreed: the person who agreed the shortlist criteria with you is the person who calls when a candidate turns an offer down, and the person who goes back out to the market that week. The trade is worth stating plainly — you get one person's judgement, and you also get one person's bandwidth.

Engineering hiring is a different job from generalist recruitment, and treating them as the same job is how a shortlist fills up with keyword matches. Screening a backend engineer means reading the actual work: what they owned in production rather than what the team shipped, what they have had to debug under load, whether the stack listed on the CV is the stack they wrote or the stack that happened to surround them. That takes a conversation with the engineer before anything reaches a client, and it takes knowing the domain well enough to hear the difference. It also limits how many searches can run at once, which is why TalentSync stays small and says so rather than quietly queueing your role behind four others.

Why Chișinău

TalentSync recruits in the market it lives in. The company is registered and staffed in Chișinău, most candidates are in the same city or a couple of hours from it, and a first meeting is usually in person. The value of that is operational rather than sentimental: we know which employers people are leaving this quarter and why, we hear about a team being restructured before those CVs reach the job boards, and we check a reference by calling someone we have already worked with instead of emailing a form to a stranger.

Being inside the market also disciplines what we can tell you about money and about notice periods. A salary expectation gets checked against what engineers in the same stack are actually accepting here this quarter, not against a range compiled from job adverts somewhere else. When a candidate says they can start in two weeks, we usually know their employer well enough to say whether that is true. Most placements are Moldovan; when a stack or a seniority band is thin here we source across the Eastern European market and say which country the answer came from.

One local fact belongs on your invoice rather than in a brochure: Moldova's IT Park regime replaces most business taxes for resident IT companies with a single tax on turnover, currently 7%, which keeps a Moldovan contractor's own tax position stable across the life of an engagement. The mechanics, the salary bands and the risks worth knowing are on the page about recruiting in Moldova.

How we work, and what we will not do

Principles are cheap stated as ambitions, so here they are as constraints — the four that cost us work, and the reason clients can believe the rest of what we tell them. Where we have something specific to say about contracts, tax or the regional market we write it down instead: what we publish is there to be checked, quoted and argued with.

We do not send a CV we have not talked the person through

Every engineer on a shortlist has had a conversation about the role, the team and the stack before their profile reaches you. A CV forwarded on a keyword match costs you an interview slot to find out what a fifteen-minute call would have told us.

We tell you where a candidate is weak

Each shortlist says what the engineer has not done, or has not done recently, alongside what they have. You are going to find it in the technical interview anyway; hearing it from us first is what makes the rest of the assessment worth believing.

We do not manage engineers on your behalf

TalentSync is not a project outsourcing company. We help companies add experienced engineers to their existing teams while retaining full technical and operational control. We handle sourcing, screening and — on the hourly model — the contract, the invoicing and replacement cover. Nobody here stands between you and the engineer doing the work.

We say when the answer is somewhere else

If the role needs a larger pool than this region can supply at the seniority you want, or an on-site presence in your city, or a firm that can staff thirty engineers this quarter, we will say so at the brief and point you at someone who can. Turning down a search we would run badly is cheaper for both of us than running it.

The two ways to engage us

There are two models and they are described in the same words everywhere on this site, because they are the same two things wherever you meet them. Which one fits is usually settled by how long the work runs and how certain it is.

Direct B2B recruitment

TalentSync sources, screens and technically validates the engineer, then steps out of the relationship. You interview, you select, and you contract the engineer directly for a long-term engagement. The engineer invoices you as an independent business on a B2B contract, so you add senior capacity without opening a local entity, running foreign payroll, or taking on employment obligations in another jurisdiction. You manage the engineer exactly as you manage the rest of your team.

How direct B2B recruitment works

Flexible hourly collaboration

The engineer joins your existing team and is billed for hours actually worked, with no fixed headcount commitment. You retain control of architecture, roadmap, priorities, processes and day-to-day management; the engineer works inside your repositories, your sprint cadence and your definition of done. TalentSync handles the contract, invoicing and replacement cover. Capacity can be scaled up, scaled down or paused at agreed notice, which suits teams between funding rounds and work with an uncertain end date.

How hourly collaboration works

The record

TalentSync has staffed engineering roles for ten named companies, from a senior backend Python developer at Qualiwise to a three-engineer full-stack team at Silvertalent. Across our five most recent placements — eight engineers for SocialBee, Silvertalent, Qualiwise, Foodamigos and Innovatec — the engineer signed within one to two weeks of the brief. Roles with a narrow stack, a security-clearance requirement or a hard on-site element take longer, and we tell you that at the brief rather than at week three.

Each engagement is listed on its own — the client, the role, the stack, the time from brief to signature and what the engineer worked on — in the full placement record.

Working at TalentSync

Two roles are open. Both are full-time, both work directly with the founder because there is no layer in between, and both are judged on the same thing the clients judge us on: whether you can hold a technical conversation and tell someone the truth about it.

Senior Technical Recruiter

Chișinău, Moldova — or remote within Moldova · Full-time

You own the sourcing and screening end of a placement: you read the client brief, find the engineers who genuinely match it, and get them to a shortlist a CTO is willing to interview. Eight engineers across five clients, our five most recent placements, came through that work.

Business Development Manager

Remote — Europe · Full-time

You open and hold the client side of the business: European and international product companies that need senior engineering capacity and want to keep architecture, roadmap and day-to-day management in their own hands.

Frequently asked questions

Who will I actually work with?
Victor, directly, on every engagement. There is no account manager layer and no handover to someone you have not met. That is the honest consequence of being a small firm: you get the person who took your brief, and you also get one person’s bandwidth rather than a bench of recruiters.
How big is TalentSync?
Small and deliberately so. We are not a fifty-recruiter agency and we do not claim to be one, which means we run a handful of searches at a time and turn work down when we are full. If you need thirty engineers this quarter, we will point you at a firm that can.
Why is TalentSync based in Chișinău?
Because the recruiting works better from inside the market. We meet candidates in person, we know which employers people are leaving and why, and we can check a reference by phoning someone we already know. Every competitor ranking for Moldova recruitment is a foreign firm running the same page for a dozen countries.
How long have you been operating?
Since 2020. Our published record covers ten named engagements — Barça Mobile, SocialBee and Silvertalent among them — with the placements, stacks and timelines listed individually rather than summarised into a number. Two of the ten are flagged on that page as not placements at all. We would rather show you a record you can check than a headline figure you cannot.
Are you hiring?
Yes — currently a Senior Technical Recruiter in Chișinău or remote, and a Business Development Manager remote within Europe. Both are full-time. Apply by email with a CV and a short note about a placement or deal you are proud of; we read those and skip the covering letter.
