See how TalentChoice works.

Use the directory to search by industry, location and hiring type. Open a recruiter’s profile to learn about their agency, experience and services, then choose who you want to contact.

Explore the recruiter directory.

Look for experience with your type of role, knowledge of your industry and an approach that suits your business. Read their profile and service information, then discuss availability, the search process and commercial terms directly.

Where published rates are available, you can compare final charges for your requirements. Explore the three steps.

This confirms access to your email address. Your details are shared with a recruiter when you send them a brief.

Yes, where recruiters publish eligible rates. After verifying your employer email, enter your hiring details to compare available final charges for your requirement.

You see the final charge, not the agency’s internal cost breakdown. Confirm the services, fees and terms directly before engaging a recruiter.

Explore available rate comparisons.

You can still choose that recruiter and send them a hiring enquiry. Rate cards are optional, so a profile without published pricing can still be a good fit. Discuss your requirements and ask the recruiter for a quote.

Only the recruiter you choose. Your brief is saved in their workspace and they receive an email notification. TalentChoice does not broadcast the same enquiry to every agency.

Use our recruitment brief template to organise the details.

The selected recruiter receives your enquiry in their workspace and an email notification. You can then discuss the role, their availability, services, fees and next steps directly.

No. Rate cards are optional. You control whether an eligible card is active and visible to employers. Your profile can still receive enquiries without published pricing.

No. Employer comparisons show available final charges. Internal inputs such as agency markup and cost percentages stay in the recruiter workspace.

Test your final amount against your own quote before publishing a rate card.

Check the following in your workspace:

• The industry, specialism, state and hiring type match the work you service.
• The specialism belongs to the selected industry, and the industry is active under your plan.
• The card has a valid-from date and an expiry date, and is currently within those dates.
• Active, Include in employer search and Visible to employers are all switched on.

Expired cards and cards without an expiry date are excluded from current public pricing. Follow the rate-card setup guide.

Recruiters with a TalentChoice account can use it on every plan, including Free. Test your own inputs, save private client scenarios and print branded estimates or save them as a PDF.

Using the account calculator does not change your saved rate cards. Open your calculator.

Use the email associated with your TalentChoice account. If this is your first sign-in to the updated platform, confirm the emailed code and choose a password.

After setup, use your password or the email-code alternative. Go to your recruiter workspace. If you are still having trouble, contact the TalentChoice team.
