Talent Pools & Discovery

# Talent Pools & Discovery ## What Are Talent Pools? Talent pools are curated groups of candidates organized by criteria you define. Think of them as folders for your best talent — ready to be tapped when the right role opens. ### Creating a Pool 1. Go to **Talent Pools → Create Pool**. 2. Name it (e.g., "Senior Engineers", "Marketing Leads", "Silver Medalists"). 3. Add a description and set visibility (private or team-wide). ### Adding Candidates - **Manually** — from any candidate profile, click "Add to Pool". - **Bulk** — select multiple candidates and add them all at once. - **AI Suggestions** — HireBee can suggest candidates for a pool based on its name and description. - **Auto-Match** — set criteria and let AI automatically add matching candidates. ## Talent Sourcing ### External Search Use the **Sourcing** feature to search for candidates outside your database: - Search by job title, skills, location, company. - View candidate previews before importing. - Import candidates directly into your database with one click. ### Company Discovery - Search for companies by name, industry, or location. - Browse employee lists to find potential candidates. - Import interesting profiles for outreach. ### LinkedIn Integration - View LinkedIn profiles directly from candidate cards. - Scrape public profile data (when configured). - Track sourcing activity and conversion rates. ## Similar Candidates When viewing a candidate, HireBee can find similar profiles in your database using AI-powered matching. This helps you: - Find alternatives when a top candidate declines. - Discover overlooked talent with similar qualifications. - Build pools of interchangeable candidates for common roles. ## Pool Analytics Track pool growth, conversion rates (how many pool members become applicants), and engagement over time.
