Our story

TechTalk was born out of frustration - watching talented people get overlooked because they didn’t fit the “typical” tech profile.

Founders Roxanne and Joana know this struggle well. Roxanne moved from South Africa to the UK, faced constant rejection, and was hit by the 2023 tech layoffs just as she landed her dream job at HubSpot. Joana moved from Brazil, overcoming visa challenges, and eventually became a fintech marketing director in London.

They realised that breaking into tech - and staying in tech - wasn’t just about skills, but about how you positioned yourself to employers.

That’s why they co-founded TechTalk - to help people confidently build careers across all areas of tech, from commercial to technical roles. In one year, TechTalk has helped over 200 job seekers across five countries land roles at companies like Google, Salesforce, and HubSpot.

Together, they’re on a mission to change how careers are built in tech - so in 2025, they co-founded Reslink, a platform for personalised video resumes that help candidates stand out, connect with employers, and tell their stories more authentically.
