Tako scores A on the Alion truth index (A is best, E worst), measured over 12 open roles re-checked against its own hiring board: 0% look like ghost listings, 50% have gone stale and 0% are the same role posted again. It measures how much of what this employer publishes turns into a real, finite search - not the employer as a workplace. How the index is computed
Overview
Tako is a Brazilian platform that builds AI agents to handle HR and people operations, combining deterministic applications such as payroll and real-time calculation with agents that carry out the work. It targets the bureaucracy and labor complexity that slow Brazilian companies, and hires software engineers, sales development staff, legal counsel and agent operations analysts. The company is headquartered in São Paulo, Brazil.
