Talent Pools

You can share your talent pools with your team, and your team can share their talent pools with you! Learn how to share a talent pool here.

You can filter the directory list by contractors in a particular talent pool, and through a talent pool, you can request the availability of everyone within the talent pool or propose a job post to individual contractors within the talent pool.
