Lynk, an AI-driven knowledge management platform, today announces its latest initiative, TalentHub. Enabled by Lynk Circle, TalentHub helps businesses and organizations find the right person with the proper knowledge to fill open positions they're hiring for. On the heels of the company's initial unveiling of Lynk Circle in May, TalentHub empowers recruiting teams to refine the hiring process amid a growing but challenging labor market while providing candidates with better-quality job matches.

There has been an average increase of 388,000 jobs in the last four months, bringing the overall US unemployment rate to a five-decade low of 3.5% and indicating a strong and recovering job market. On the flip side, the companies that hired most aggressively during the pandemic, particularly those in the tech industry, are now overstaffed and being forced to cut back or impose hiring freezes. These conflicting trends demonstrate a common challenge in connecting and accessing the right information.

As part of the technology community, Lynk is helping to alleviate some of the challenges associated with the current job market. An easy to set up and flexible solution, TalentHub helps newly unemployed individuals find opportunities while simultaneously helping companies find relevant candidates. There are many informal and public spreadsheets circulating the internet that include personal info of employees that have been laid off. TalentHub offers a highly secure interface that protects the privacy of users. With TalentHub, individuals can easily connect with recruiters directly and have their profiles enriched through ongoing engagement. Additionally, candidates don't have to be worried about their personal information being listed within a public spreadsheet.

“Given the current state of the market, we've seen an accelerated need for recruiting assistance from both businesses and candidates,” said Peggy Choi, founder and CEO of Lynk. “Being part of the technology community, we want to use our Lynk Circle solution to combat the disconnect in information flow between businesses and talent. At Lynk, we continue to lead notable programs like this one as part of our Lynk Impact initiatives, drawing attention to important issues such as gender equality and diversity.”

TalentHub provides:

• Flexible and easy onboarding for both candidates and recruiters: TalentHub was built in less than two days, and there are already more than 1,200 candidates within the network, with their profiles continuously enriched.

• Highly configurable and secure candidate sourcing: The SaaS solution hosts a private, safe and customizable people network.

• Advanced search: The solution also features advanced search across rich profiles and all activities, so recruiters know who the right person is within the network. Simultaneously, candidates can leverage their experience to match with relevant jobs.

“Through the TalentHub initiative, Lynk is making it easier for newly unemployed individuals to find opportunities and for recruiters and hiring managers to find relevant candidates at no cost to both companies and individuals. Keeping privacy in consideration, only approved companies and recruiters can browse and find candidates in the network,” Choi elaborated.

Lynk is currently offering TalentHub for free, so candidates that recent lay-offs have impacted can connect to relevant businesses and teams that are hiring. Interested parties can sign-up here.
