FAQ

Questions about Talzy Insights

How often do you publish?

Twice a month, at most. We only write when we have something specific to say - no filler, no reheated Medium takes. If we haven't shipped in three weeks, it's because we didn't have the goods that week.

Who writes these articles?

Talzy's operating team - the people who run placements, handle employment, and talk to our engineers every week. There are no ghostwriters. If an article has a named byline, that person wrote it.

Can I get notified when new posts go live?

Yes - join the list via the signup below. You'll get the occasional new article in your inbox and nothing else. No drip sequences, no 7-part funnels, no sales cadence. Unsubscribing takes one click.

Can I suggest a topic or ask a question?

Absolutely. If there's a question about hiring in CEE, building a dedicated team, or comparing Talzy to another model - send it to us via the Get Started form. The best questions usually become articles.

Are these articles sponsored or gated?

No. Nothing on this site is paid placement, and nothing is gated behind an email wall. We write because we have a point of view on how engineering teams should be built in Europe. If it's useful to you, great. If it's not, nothing's lost.

Can I republish or quote these articles?

Quote freely with attribution. For full republication, email us - we're usually happy to agree if the context makes sense.
