Your job requisition is made up from a variation of fields which are somewhat customizable to your organisation. These include essential fields which are either a fundamental part of how TalentLink works, or a prerequisite of information required for the front end search. Optional fields are added to meet the needs of the recruiting organisation.


Essential Fields

The essential fields must be used by all organisations. We do not personalise the selections to these fields with the exception of defaulting and limiting which of the available options are visible. They are listed as follows:
