For Candidates

Deposit your profile with us.

Lecturers, career services staff, alumni staff and administrators deposit a profile, and we place them with other universities through our network. HR, technology and semiconductor professionals can deposit too.

  1. Deposit

    Your field, your experience and the role you want.

  2. Confidential

    Shared only with your consent.

  3. We recommend

    We check with you first, then introduce you.

A deposit is not a job application or a promise of a role.

How We Work

Permanent, volume or project.

We can also run the whole search.

Three ways to work with us

  • Permanent recruitment

    Young professionals, typically two to 10 years in, hired to stay.

  • Volume and team hiring

    High-volume drives through our community.

  • Project hiring

    A campaign for a new site, market entry or rapid ramp-up.

From brief to first day

  1. Discovery

    The role and the team.

  2. Market mapping

    Our network, then the market.

  3. Sourcing and outreach

    Active and passive candidates.

  4. Assessment

    Screened against your brief.

  5. Shortlist and interview

    A considered few, fully coordinated.

  6. Offer and onboarding

    Closing, then aftercare.

Why Talentbank

A hire, done properly.

Knows your field

Your brief is understood, not just passed on.

Screened, not forwarded

We source, screen and coordinate, so you only meet people worth meeting.

One owner, start to finish

One accountable contact from brief to onboarding, measured by hires that stay, not CVs sent.

Community and data

One of the nation's largest talent communities, deep in young professionals, backed by our Graduate Recruitment Handbook and Good Employer Index.

How Fees Work

Agreed per placement, and in writing.

Role by role

Each placement has its own fee.

Backed by a guarantee

If a hire leaves within the agreed guarantee period, we replace them.

Questions

Good to know.

What do you recruit?

We place lecturers and university staff, HR and people professionals, and technology and semiconductor specialists. For another field, tell us the role and we will say honestly whether we can serve it.

How do I deposit my profile?

Use the Deposit Your Profile button to chat with Amira, our assistant.

Who sees my profile?

Only Talentbank, and we share it only with your consent. See our PDPA Notice.

How is the fee decided?

The fee is agreed per placement, in writing, before we recommend anyone. If a hire leaves within the agreed guarantee period, we replace them.

How is this different from Executive Search?

Recruitment is for professionals, typically with two to 10 years of experience. Executive Search is for senior, specialist and confidential appointments, run discreetly and separately.

Tell us the role, or deposit your profile.

We listen first, then tell you honestly whether we can help.
