Overview of Talent Network Features and How to Add and Manage Talent

Introduction:

The Talent Network is the core of the FMS (Freelance Management System) portion of the Publicist platform. This is where you manage your Bring Your Own (BYO) talent, track onboarding status, and add new talent from both within the platform and externally. It provides a comprehensive view of your team’s freelance talent, allowing for efficient talent management and streamlined processes.

Key Features of Talent Network:

  • All BYO Talent:

    • The Talent Network displays all BYO talent, including those manually added from the platform or invited externally.

    • You can also see candidates your team has hired and talent manually added to your network from their profile.

  • Tabs for Easy Navigation:

    • All: Shows your entire talent network.

    • On Contract: Displays all candidates who are currently on contract.

    • Pending: Lists all the pending BYO Talent invites to your talent network.
