Talent Marketplace

The Talent Marketplace at /company/marketplace lets you search talent across your own network, the external marketplace, and partner networks, then shortlist or invite candidates to a project slot. Each candidate is scored against your slot requirements and your culture profile.

Admin only

Searching the marketplace, opening a candidate's profile, and shortlisting or inviting are company_admin actions. Company members don't have access to marketplace search or the invite flow.

Goal: narrow the pool to candidates who fit your slot.

  1. Open /company/marketplace. Choose a source tab: Internal Network, External Marketplace, or Partner Networks.
  2. Use the left filter pane to refine results:
    • Search by skills, titles, or keywords
    • Worker Type (Contractor, Full-time, Agency Partner)
    • Network (Own + partner names)
    • Availability (Any, Available Now, Limited Availability, Booked)
    • Max Rate slider ($50–$300/hr)
    • Clearance Level (None, Public Trust, Secret, TS/SCI)
    • Work Authorization (U.S. Citizen, Permanent Resident, Visa Holder, Sponsorship Required)
  3. Use Clear filters to reset.

Each result card shows the candidate's name, rating, a "Via [Partner]" badge for federated talent, a color-coded match percentage bar, top skills, hourly rate, and availability.

Shortlist a candidate​

Goal: add a promising candidate to a project's pipeline.

  1. On a result card, click Shortlist.
  2. If you have more than one project, pick the target project from the Select a project dropdown. The button changes to Shortlisted with a checkmark.

Shortlisting creates an engagement in the Shortlisted stage without committing. See Engagements for the full lifecycle.

Review a candidate's profile​

Goal: assess fit before inviting, using the explainable match overlay.

  1. Click a candidate to open their detail page at /company/marketplace/people/:id.
  2. Review the Skills card (with proficiency), bio, and links.
  3. In the right column, pick the target role in the Work Environment Compatibility card to see the Overall match percentage and the four CVF dimension bars: Collaborative, Innovative, Results-Driven, Structured. Constraint checks — Work Mode, Work Location, Travel, Clearance, Schedule — appear as pass (✓) or fail (✗) badges.
  4. Expand Skill Match Signals to see verification gaps, proficiency gaps, cert-inferred skills, and related-skill matches behind the score.

Communication style​

The Communication Style card appears only when the candidate has opted in and is legally cleared to share. When present, it shows up to three chips — Collaboration, Feedback, and Accountability — plus an optional disclosure note. Culture Signal Sources above it indicates whether the signals come from the questionnaire and/or analyzed meeting transcripts.

note

Communication style and culture signals are read-only context to inform your decision. They are disclosed by the candidate, not edited by your company.

Shortlist or invite from the profile​

Goal: move the candidate forward.

  1. In the sticky Add to Pipeline card, choose a project.
  2. Click Shortlist Candidate to add them to review, or Send Invitation to make a formal offer (creating an Invited engagement).
  3. Use the Private Notes section to record notes visible only to your company.
