Many agencies need to hire the same mission critical positions. Talent pools allow agencies to share hiring certificates. Talent pools streamline the federal hiring process by giving your agency access to qualified candidates who are already on an approved hiring certificate without having to do the work around recruiting, announcing and examining applicants. Candidates in Talent Pools have opted-in to accepting a job at any agency. You can quickly review their resumes and speed up the hiring process if the hiring certificate matches your position(s).
If you want to hire a candidate from a talent pool, you must work with your Shared Certificate Coordinator to complete the hire using your talent acquisition system.
