      1. Hot Flame / Star Rating

      A Talent Pool allows you to track your top candidates who are immediately available and ready to be placed. This helps speed up the hiring process and ensures that you always have a list of high-quality candidates at your fingertips.

       

      2. Contractors/Temps Currently in Contract

      Keeping a list of contractors or temps who are currently on assignment makes communication easier. You can send bulk emails or SMS updates, and also track candidates whose contracts are ending so you can proactively place them in new roles.

       

      3. Certification/Skill/Language

      If your roles require specific certifications, skills, or language abilities, a Talent Pool saves you time by eliminating the need to run new searches for each role. It also ensures you’re aware of newly added candidates who meet the criteria.

       

      4. Update/CV Last Updated

      A Talent Pool based on last engagement helps re-engage past candidates and maintain an up-to-date database. Identifying candidates who haven’t interacted with you recently can be a great way to refresh your talent pipeline.

       

      5. Candidate Details

      Building a Talent Pool based on candidate details ensures compliance information is always up to date. This helps you keep track of candidates who require specific compliance documentation to be eligible for work.

       

      6. Preferences

      If you specialize in a specific discipline or industry, setting up a Talent Pool for that sector allows you to quickly find matching candidates. You can then directly match them to roles or proactively send them to clients, leading to faster placements.
