Talent pools for recruiters

How talent pools are built, what each candidate summary contains, and the privacy rules that apply.

Talent pools group candidates who opted in, so you can find people by intent rather than by keyword.

How pools are built#

Pools combine role family, seniority band and work mode. A candidate's role family comes from the roles they actually save, with their profile as a fallback. Pools update as candidates opt in, sync or leave.

What a candidate summary contains#

Each candidate appears under a pseudonymous ID that's different for every recruiter organization. A summary can include:

• Role family, level, years of experience band
• Top skills and skill levels
• Coarse region (state or country), work-mode preference, relocation preference
• Highest degree level and target role families
• Work authorization bucket, clearance, availability, salary band, languages, industries and company stages, when the candidate answered them
• Last active date

Summaries never include names, emails, resume text, employers or exact salaries. Name and email are shared only through a contact request, only if the candidate allows it.

Privacy rules#

• Pools below the minimum size (3 today) are hidden.
• Searches that match too few candidates return nothing.
• Candidates can leave pools at any time, and they're removed immediately.
• Every view, search and contact request is logged. See the audit log.
