HR Glossary

What is Talent Pool?

A database of candidates who have been identified as potential fits for future roles, sourced from past applicants, referrals, and proactive research.

Why it matters in hiring

Talent Pool comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
