What is a Talent Pool?

In simplest terms, a talent pool is a database of candidates that have already been deemed qualified for particular positions and who can be offered roles as soon as they become available.

What does this mean for you?

It’s good news because it means, you will still go through the recruitment process (assessments, role plays and interviews) and if you meet our minimum criteria, will be next in line for consideration as soon as we require more staff.

You will remain as an active candidate on our database and we will update you on progress on a monthly basis.
