Scotty AI × talentsconnect: Strategic partnership to Deploy AI Agents in HR

Scotty AI and talentsconnect announce a strategic partnership to bring agentic AI to HR and talent acquisition teams across the DACH region. Read the full press release.

Utrecht & Cologne, April 28, 2026 – Scotty AI, the agentic AI platform, and talentsconnect, Germany’s leading direct-to-talent HR technology company, today announced a strategic partnership to bring AI agents into the daily workflows of HR and talent acquisition teams across the DACH region.
The partnership combines talentsconnect’s thirteen years of HR domain expertise and a trusted customer base of over 900 companies with Scotty AI’s agentic infrastructure — enabling organisations to deploy AI agents that handle the entire hiring cycle, at scale.
Together, the two companies will deliver joint workshops, co-developed go-to-market programmes, and a shared roadmap designed to move HR teams from AI curiosity to AI capability.
The future of HR won’t be built by one company alone, it will be built by those willing to combine their strengths. We bring thirteen years of deep HR expertise and trusted customer relationships. Scotty AI brings cutting-edge AI technology and the hunger of a team that’s redefining what’s possible in recruitment. This partnership isn’t just strategic, it’s the answer to what our customers have been asking for: smarter technology, grounded in real-world HR experience. Together, we’re not adapting to the future of work, we’re shaping it.
Robin Sudermann CEO, talentsconnect
I’ll be honest, we’ve been heads-down building for a long time. Agents that pre-screen at scale. Agents that onboard. Agents that run across voice, WhatsApp, email, simultaneously at scale. Turns out talentsconnect has spent thirteen years building the trust with the people who need exactly that. That credibility is not something you can build overnight. We should have partnered sooner. Funny how that works.
REINER BRUNS CEO, SCOTTY AI
The partnership launches with a flagship workshop series beginning at Front-Show Cooking in Cologne on April 28, 2026, where HR professionals build and deploy their own AI agents live — experiencing agentic AI as a working tool, not a concept.

Frequently asked questions

Agentic AI refers to AI systems that can autonomously handle multi-step tasks: such as screening candidates, scheduling interviews, sending onboarding communications, and qualifying leads without requiring constant human input. Unlike traditional chatbots or point solutions, AI agents operate across channels (voice, chat, WhatsApp, email) and connect to existing HR systems like ATS, HCM, and CRM platforms

Scotty AI is a horizontal agentic infrastructure platform. For HR and talent acquisition, it enables organisations to design, deploy, and operate AI agents across the full hiring lifecycle, from first candidate touchpoint through to day one onboarding. Agents are built on Scotty's orchestration layer and integrate with existing tools without replacing them.
