This is not a talent shortage. It is a matching failure.
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.
For Candidates
“Open to Work” can become a junk-mail magnet: irrelevant roles, automated messages, and pressure to share details too early.
For Hiring Teams
Inboxes are flooded, shortlists are weak, and good people get missed because the system rewards volume over alignment.
Stay visible without being exposed.
Your professional details are not a commodity. On Talent Direct, you decide who can access your identity, CV, and contact details.
Data control, by design
- Skills first: Hiring teams can assess your fit from high-level profile data, without seeing your identity.
- No consent, no access: Your private details unlock only when you approve a specific request.
Fewer messages. Better conversations.
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.
High-signal matching
- Browse for free: Search profiles without paywalls, contracts, or bait-and-switch upgrades.
- Trust as the filter: Consent reduces spam and protects safeguarding-sensitive roles from scattergun outreach.
A simple, permission-based workflow.

Do you sell my data?
No. Never.
Will I get spam?
No. Requests stay permission-based and you control what you unlock.
Can I stay private?
Yes. Switch off enquiries anytime. You can delete your data instantly.
Who can request access?
Verified hiring teams can request access. You approve or decline each request.
Is it free?
Yes. Joining as a candidate is free.
Trust is the filter, not money.
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.
