TalentCommunity Explained
TalentCommunity is a web application that enables candidates to search and apply for contract job opportunities. Using this tool, you can create a profile by uploading your resume and setting some parameters to help match you with the ideal jobs you are looking for. After doing so, you will be able to access and apply for a wide variety of job opportunities with a vast range of available work options.
This User Manual will guide you through the steps to creating a candidate profile, navigating through the home page, editing your profile, and getting in contact with recruiters or our tech support team.
IMPORTANT: Please note that this is a comprehensive user manual outlining all available feature functionality. Many of these are configured per client according to individual programs and you may not see all features on your instance. Any such functionality has been marked with an asterisk (*).
Landing Page
TalentCommunity Landing Page is where you can access the registration and login button, view Featured Jobs, and search for available job postings – everything you need to get started on your search for your next exciting opportunity.
Registration
There are several ways to register:
1. Fill out your first and last name, email, and password. Click Register.
2. Sign in with Indeed*
3. Sign in with Facebook*
4. Sign in with LinkedIn*
Should you choose options 2-4, you will be able to sign in without a password moving forward. Once you complete the initial step, it is time to build out your profile.
Resume Upload
Upload your resume: this step may be optional for some programs and if you do choose to upload your resume, the system will use the file to auto-populate your titles, skills, and contact information.
Next, you will be asked to specify your Group based on the dropdown menu. Should you feel none of them apply, you may skip and proceed to the Next Step as this field is optional. Click Next Step.
Enter your Location and Contact Information. You may enter your address or simply enter the city and select from the dropdown menu. Make sure to click on a selection. This information will help match you to jobs that are most appropriate for your location preferences.
Enter your phone number as this will be used by recruiters to contact you. Your birth month and day will be used to generate your unique identifier*.
Enter the minimum pay rate you are comfortable with as this will be used to filter your job matches.
Tip: You can always adjust this once your profile is created and it is best to not set it too high as this may limit the job matches visible to you.
Specify the unit of pay and select your Worker Type* based on the dropdown menu. Should you be uncertain of which category you are, leave this field blank or select Flexible as this is something you can discuss with the recruiter once you are contacted.
Congratulations! Your profile is now created, and you are ready to start searching for your next opportunity. Once you click Complete you will be rerouted to the Community page where you will be able to further update your profile.
Navigating Through the Home Page
When you log in after having created your candidate profile, you will see the Community home page which displays all your job matches in addition to available job postings.
The Applied Jobs tab shows all the job postings that you have successfully applied to – only jobs for which you have applied will be displayed here.
Please Note: Should your applied job be a Matched Job, you will see a percentage – this percentage is NOT your application progress, only jobs for which you have fully completed the application process will show up on this page.
Adjusting your date of availability and pay rate is easily accessible from the main page as well. Simply click the settings cog icon found to the left of your profile dropdown in order to make adjustments
Once you have made your desired changes, simply click away and you should get a prompt letting you know that your profile has been updated.
Click Profile to make changes to your contact information, password, skills and job experiences, and your notifications preferences.
You also have the option to change your resume file, add a display picture, or download your current resume file. Once you have made your desired changes, please make sure to click Update after each section in order to save.
Questions or Issues?
Should you wish to contact a Curator regarding a specific job posting, you may simply access the Contact Us option by clicking your profile. This will prompt a dropdown menu. Once you click Contact Us, you will access the form in which you can specify the job posting and question. If you are experiencing technical issues or have feedback/suggestions, please use our Tech Support tab found at the bottom right. Simply click it and you will be taken to a form that allows you to specify your issue. Please allow 24-48 hours for our team to get back to you.

Enter Skills that you possess, and these will help match you to the Jobs for which you can apply. You may once again click on suggestions in the dropdown menu or input custom skills and include a maximum of 10 skills.
From the tabs, you are able to access All Jobs and Applied Jobs and modify your date of availability in addition to your desired pay rate. All Jobs encompasses both your Job Matches and All Jobs available on the Community.
Job Matches show jobs that the system has matched to your profile based on your skills and titles. The percentages are gradings that indicate the level of match based on the skills required by the job posting.
You may click View or Apply for each job to either see details or directly apply. When you click View, you will be able to see a full job description with all the published details. From here, you will also have the ability to refer colleagues or friends that you feel will be interested.
