Employers bid.
Builders choose.
TalentBid is the reverse marketplace for Data & AI Engineers. Builders publish a profile of shipped work and let an AI Marketing Agent represent them 24/7. Verified employers send concrete bids — role, salary, equity, start date — and you pick the best offer.
A living portfolio of pipelines, agents, repos & startups.
Your AI agent pitches you to relevant employers while you sleep.
Real offers with comp attached. No cover letters. No ghosting.
Free for builders. No résumé required. Setup in 90 seconds. Employer waitlist now open.
Two sides of the same flipped market.
Builders publish. Employers bid. Everyone skips the cover letters, recruiter calls, and ghosting.

Hiring is broken. Builders spend weeks on coding screens for roles they won't take. Companies sift through resumes that don't show what anyone has actually shipped.
TalentBid flips it. You show your real work — pipelines, models, agents. Verified employers send you concrete offers with salary, equity, role, and start date. You decide.
No recruiters. No ghosting. No "quick chats." Just bids.
