Talent network

Understand the limited talent network surface and use proven candidate tools instead.

Current status: The talent network is an optional, early surface backed by limited saved candidate information. The observed production list was empty. It is not a proven sourcing workflow or established business.

Do not plan hiring work around the talent network unless your organization has confirmed that eligible candidates are visible and that its consent process meets your policy.

If Network is available

1. Open Network.
2. Read the availability or empty-state message.
3. Confirm with your organization administrator that the feature is enabled.
4. Confirm that any candidate shown has agreed to be considered for future opportunities.
5. Review prior evidence in the context of the new role.
6. Invite the candidate through the normal position workflow.

Candidates should not enter an active pipeline automatically. Prior evidence may be useful context, but it does not replace a fresh, role-specific review.

If the list is empty

An empty list is expected in the current state and does not mean you configured something incorrectly.

Use the proven candidate tools instead:

1. Open Candidates.
2. Search for people your organization already knows.
3. Use candidate pools, if available, to organize future prospects.
4. Open a suitable position and invite the candidate.
5. Confirm consent and communication preferences before outreach.

Nurture with Sequences

To stay in touch with prospects over time, open Network → Sequences and create a sequence. Add the emails you want to send as steps, setting how many days to wait between each one. A sequence stops automatically for anyone who replies, so you never keep emailing someone who has already answered. Enroll prospects from the sequence page. Sequences are for prospects, not for emails tied to a hiring stage, which live under Hiring → Emails. For the full guide, including text, phone-screen and task steps, see Sequences.

Treat release controls cautiously

You may see an option related to releasing a rejected candidate to the network. The complete cross-organization release and rediscovery workflow has not been proven.

Before using it:

1. Confirm that the candidate gave explicit consent.
2. Follow your organization's privacy and retention policy.
3. Do not promise that the candidate will become visible to other employers.
4. Do not export or share candidate evidence outside approved workflows.

For established workflows, see Create and manage positions and Review candidates.
