The new Deel Talent feature makes it easier for clients to hire new workers by connecting them with talent partners. It allows clients to share hiring needs, create specific job requests, and collaborate with talent partners to find suitable candidates.

This article provides a complete overview of the hiring process for both clients and talent partners. Clients can use this feature to hire any type of worker.

For more information on the feature, please see our Overview: Deel Talent - for Clients and Overview: Deel Talent - for Talent Partners articles.

How to Hire Using Deel Talent

Each step of the hiring process is assigned to either the client or the talent partner. See below for a breakdown of responsibilities.

✅ Step 1 - Creating a Job Request 

Owner: Client 

From the Deel Talent tab, select the option Create Job Request. 

Clients will be asked to add the following:

1. Details - Add job description, contact details, and compensation details
2. Talent Partners - Set a candidate submission limit to be submitted by the talent partners, select the talent partner, and set a fee policy
3. Approval and Hiring - Approval policies define which team members are responsible for reviewing candidates and deciding who progresses to the offer stage after being submitted by talent partners. Choose who will receive tasks and notifications for candidates.
4. Review and Confirm - Review the submitted information and either publish the job request or send it for internal approval before forwarding it to the talent partner.

The job request can be saved as a draft at any stage of its creation. Any unfinished requests will be displayed in the Job Requests tab. Once the request is created, it will appear in this tab, where it can be edited, duplicated, paused, or closed.

✅ Step 2 - Submitting Candidates

Owner: Talent partner

Once a job request is submitted, the talent partner must review it and either accept or reject it.

After accepting, they can begin submitting candidates for the position. Before a candidate can be submitted, their profile must first be created.

Talent partners can create a candidate profile from any tab in their dashboard or directly via the job request by selecting Create a Candidate Profile and filling out the required information. 

To submit a candidate, select one from the available options in the dropdown. The same candidate can be added to multiple positions. Any existing information from the candidate's profile will be auto-populated, and additional optional details, such as a LinkedIn profile or files, can be added.

✅ Step 3 - Reviewing the Candidate

Owner: Client (as per approval policies)

Once candidates are submitted by the talent partner, the members specified in the client’s approval policies will receive an email notification to reject or approve the candidate. Please note that if email digests are enabled, notifications will be sent only once daily. However, the option to review the candidate will be available immediately after submission by the talent partner.

Candidates can be reviewed via the For You Today card or through the Pending Tasks tab.

Interviews can be scheduled by approvers outside the platform by contacting the talent partner or candidate directly via email. Afterward, approvers can either approve or reject the candidate. In some cases, candidates may be approved or rejected without an interview.

✅ Step 4 - Send Offer

Owner: Client (Org Admins)

Once the candidate is approved, they will move to the offer stage. Clients can click Send Offer to send it to the candidate. Most of the information will be pre-filled, but it’s important to double-check the rate. At this stage, the talent partner fee can also be specified.

After the offer is sent, it will be routed through the talent partner.

✅ Step 5 - Review Offer

Owner: Talent Partner

After the client sends the offer, the talent partner can review the details and either accept or reject it.

✅ Step 6 - Create Contract

Owner: Client

After the offer is reviewed and accepted by the talent partner, the candidate’s status will be marked as Ready to Hire. 

From the Candidates tab, clients can click Create Worker Profile to mark the candidate as hired. They will then be directed to the Add People flow, and the worker profile created from it will be linked to this candidate.

Once the request is closed, clients can dismiss multiple non-selected candidates at once by selecting their names via the Candidates tab and clicking Dismiss Candidates.
