An early talent ATS built on a headhunting model. Attraction, matching, engagement, eligibility, compliance, communications and reporting, in one platform designed from the ground up for this market.
Early talent recruitment has its own rules, its own candidates and its own compliance requirements. Talent Portal was built around them.
What’s inside
Candidates build profiles around their interests, aspirations and location. Recruiters search and find matched candidates proactively.
The match is based on what candidates want to do, not what they have already done. Motivated people who would never have found the vacancy are found instead.
Branded careers pages and vacancy listings built into the platform. For FE colleges, course listings and apprenticeship vacancies in one candidate journey.
One registration, one candidate record, whether exploring a course or an apprenticeship.
Email, WhatsApp, SMS and phone from one platform. All interactions tracked and logged.
Early talent candidates do not reliably respond to email. WhatsApp and SMS response rates are categorically better for this audience.
Candidates who stall at any stage are chased automatically via their preferred channel.
The greatest time drain in early talent recruitment is chasing. This removes it entirely.
Direct integration with Find an Apprenticeship and other government platforms. Vacancies syndicated without manual re-entry.
Reduces duplication and reaches candidates where they are already looking.
Built-in accessibility and readability checking for vacancy content, including WCAG compliance.
Accessible job descriptions reach more candidates and reduce structural barriers.
Integrated right-to-work checking within the candidate record.
Compliance happens where the candidate already is. No platform-switching at the point where drop-off is most costly.
End-to-end visibility from first engagement to placement, in real time.
The data to optimise every future campaign is generated automatically.
Talent Portal connects natively to Talent Connect for campaign delivery and Talent Assess for selection.
