Less noise. More fit. Candidates stay in control, and hiring teams only connect when there is real intent on both sides.
Organisations say they cannot find the right people, while brilliant professionals are stuck in application loops and inbox spam. The third sector feels this harder because time, trust, and reputational risk are not optional.
"Open to Work" can become a junk-mail magnet: irrelevant roles, automated messages, and pressure to share details too early.
Inboxes are flooded, shortlists are weak, and good people get missed because the system rewards volume over alignment.
Your professional details are not a commodity. On Talent Direct, you decide who can access your identity, CV, and contact details.
When a candidate approves your request on Talent Direct, the dynamic changes. You are not just another ping. You are a team they have chosen to engage with.
Candidates create profiles that are reviewed for quality and clarity.

Use a clear "Request Access" action with context about the role.
The candidate chooses whether to unlock their CV and contact details.
Pricing does not fix trust. Traditional databases encourage mass messaging because access has been paid for. By removing the paywall and requiring consent, every connection has meaning, and safeguarding-sensitive hiring is treated with care.
Talent Direct is open to a limited number of founding hiring teams and professionals. No scraping, no list selling, no spam. Just consent-led matching that respects people and capacity.
