Overview

The Talent Pool lets you save, organize, and revisit candidates across multiple jobs.

This helps you build a pipeline of strong candidates so you can move faster when new roles open.


Why use the Talent Pool

  • Future role fit
    Save strong candidates for other roles that may open later

  • Faster hiring
    Reach out to pre-qualified candidates instead of starting from scratch

💡 Helpful note: Saved candidates are accessible across your entire company, not tied to a single job.


Access the Talent Pool

  • Go to the Candidates tab from your main dashboard

  • View All or Saved candidates


Save a candidate

You can save candidates from multiple places:

From a candidate profile

  • Open the candidate’s profile

  • Click Save

  • Select a reason (ex: Strong Resume)

From a job dashboard

  • Hover over a candidate card

  • Select the candidate

  • Click Save

  • Choose a reason

From the Talent Pool tab

  • Go to the Talent Pool tab on your main dashboard

  • Hover over a candidate

  • Click Save candidate


View saved candidates

In the Talent Pool, you’ll see:

  • candidate name

  • most recent job applied to

  • application date

  • current hiring stage

Click a candidate’s name to expand their profile.


View full candidate details

From the expanded view, you can access:

  • contact information (email, phone, location)

  • where and when the candidate was saved

  • the reason they were saved

  • comments added at the time of saving

  • candidate tags

  • Invite to Apply option

  • option to Unsave the candidate


Use candidate tags

  • Click the + next to Tags

  • Click Invite to Apply

  • Select an open job

  • Customize your message (optional)

  • Send the invite

The candidate will receive an email with a link to apply.


Manage your Talent Pool

  • saved candidates are company-wide, not job-specific

  • revisit candidates anytime for new roles

  • keep track of why candidates were saved and their status

💡 Helpful note: Future updates may include resumes, cover letters, screening responses, and DISC+ results in this view.


Unsave a candidate

  • hover over the Save icon or open the candidate profile

  • click Unsave candidate

The candidate will remain in your All candidates view.
