Talenteo, Algerian HRTech, Gets Funding From Tunisia's 216 Capital
Talenteo, an Algerian HRTech startup has recieved funding from Tunisia’s 216 Capital to meet the needs of African SMEs and mid-sized companies.
Talenteo offers a complete SaaS platform for human resources and payroll management, and is currently serving over 10,000 active users.
“We believe business success starts with investing in people. Talenteo was designed to help African companies digitize their HR management to support growth and impact,”
says Louai Djaffer, CEO of Talenteo.
In a market where demand for digital HR solutions is growing fast, this new six-figure investment, led primarily by 216 Capital, marks a major milestone for Talenteo.
It will enable the firm to open new operations in Tunisia, the first step in a regional rollout, strengthen its technology, especially AI capabilities and scale across strategic HR markets in Francophone Africa.
Talenteo offers a SaaS platform that combines artificial intelligence, local legal frameworks, and automation of key HR processes.
By 2030, Africa is expected to have more than one billion working-age individuals—becoming the world’s largest talent pool. With over 80% of jobs created by SMEs and mid-sized businesses, HR management is a growing challenge and a key lever for performance, compliance, and competitiveness. Talenteo is emerging as a locally developed, tech-driven solution tailored to these dynamics.
The HR tech startup’s SaaS platform combines artificial intelligence, local legal frameworks, and automates key HR processes such as personnel administration, time tracking and payroll, talent development and regulatory compliance.
As it now expands to Tunisia, its intelligent engine will ensure its client’s HR operations are reliable, automates repetitive tasks, and strengthens HR departments’ ability to anticipate and adapt—especially in a fast-changing economic and regulatory environment.
“Talenteo embodies exactly the kind of innovation we back: locally rooted, scalable, and built to address the operational realities of African companies,” explains Dhekra Khelifi, Partner at 216 Capital Ventures.
