Talent ... is an exclusive professional networking/recruiting service.
You need an invite to create a profile.
Login here.
You control your profile, public or private. And "public" means only within the Talent network. We don't expose any of our pages externally on the internet, or sell it. We take privacy seriously. If you're interested in new opportunities, set your profile to public. If not, set to private. If you're public, you'll only get messages from those explicitly looking for your skillset. And scouts aren't just given access to Talent, they need to be approved through an application process.
But note that whoever invited you will always be able to see your profile. They've endorsed you, their reputation is as important as yours. They won't be able to see if your profile is set to public or private, however.
Looking for talent? You first need to be invited to the Talent network. Then you'll need to fill out an appplication here. Talent is a network for professionals, by professionals. The signal to noise ratio has to be excellent.
Talent is a basic social graph. Professionals in the network have been invited and endorsed by someone else who has also been invited. This ensures maximum integrity and truthfulness by both professionals and those hiring.
If you have access to our search page, you'll see qualified candidates matching your requirements and who they've been endorsed by (we call them "bloodlines"). Since this is a reputation game, that's important.
All other career and social networks sites are self-initiated. As a result, they shamefully have no stake in quality or truthfulness. These traits are paramount when looking for team members.
