Hello! Welcome to Talentsky: a new professional network reshaping how people share their work and skills in the context of achievements.

Using Talentsky helps people better understand what others do in their work, making career development and job qualifications more transparent, and organizations more effective at sourcing skill-talented.

When a person follows a Mentor on Talentsky (and if their organization has an Enterprise license), the Mentor and recruiters can see them for their career interest, their skills, and how well they match to the Mentor.

When a person unfollows a Mentor, they disappear from the organization’s and Mentor’s insights. Talentsky operates as a user-privacy platform.

Talentsky makes it easy for people to tell their career story or learn the careers of others, allowing them to follow, learn and connect their skills with future opportunities.

Organizations with an Enterprise License can build a following and talent pipeline by leveraging their Mentor following, making it faster to source community-backed, skill-based talent with those that show career interest.

A profile on Talentsky is your resume, but it highlights your work and education achievements and the skills you used to complete those tasks in a feed. We put the emphasis on your work, not a bullet point.

An achievement (a work or educational task you accomplished) and its tagged skills help others understand what you do in your role and what success looks like in your career.

Home is a feed comprised of achievements posted by the people you follow. Here you can like, comment, or share the content, find others to follow, and post an achievement.

Looking to gain career insights? This is the place. Find Mentors in careers of interest that you match.

Dive deeper into a specific Mentor’s page. Think of a Mentor page as a living job description by a person in the job. Here you’ll see how you compare to the Mentor and their achievements.

Once you’ve become a Mentor – five achievements rated by two or more – you’ll be able to publish your Mentor page. You can hide/show achievements that are important to your role, helping others understand what the role entails and the skills you use.

Enter first/last name, your work or educational organization email (a personal email is fine if you don’t have one), and create a password. An org email is preferred so you can get a badge and appear under the org in Talentsky where other colleagues reside.

Click “Verify” within 24 hours. If you don’t see the email, please refresh and check your Junk and Spam folders – some servers do this for security purposes.

Search for your organization and select. Do the same for your recent/current role, add a location, and the dates of the role. Click “Next” when done.

Choose one of our suggestions based upon the role you’ve entered in the previous step. You can select one or view more by clicking “Suggest more” or “Search”.

If you chose a suggested achievement, you can change our copy here or accept our title and description. If you added a custom achievement via “Search”, you’ll have to add a description here.

Talentsky suggests 10 skills from our database of over 4,500 skills. Pick up to five. You can view the description by hovering on the skill. You can also search or add a new skill if you don’t find the one you’re looking for.

Select from the list, search or invite colleagues to rate your work. At least two (2) ratings are needed so your skills are validated, appear on your profile under “Skills”, and to match to Mentors.

This is where you confirm everything before you see your new Talentsky profile! After posting, you’ll land in your profile where you can continue to post, compare your achievements to others, and become a Mentor.

Congrats! You’ve posted your first achievement to your profile! In your profile, we suggest completing the “Profile completeness” tasks which all take place in your “Settings”.

If you become a Mentor in the first 30 days of signing up, you have the opportunity to receive a $25 Talentsky Virtual Prepaid Mastercard by completing your profile and posting five achievements that have been rated by two or more.

Once you’ve reached 100% completion, you can dismiss the card to see suggested people to follow and your profile link to easily share it.

When you are tagged to provide an achievement rating you will receive an email, an in-app notification, and a rating reminder on the top of your “Home” feed. Click to review and rate the achievement.

Example of a rating request email:

Example of a rating reminder - top of feed in light blue:

All ratings are anonymous – the person does not know what you’ve rated their achievement. Your rating affects all the associated skills and our data science impacts the ratings based upon your relevance to the user.

The rating represents your perspective of the level of what they achieved aka the level of work they’ve done from Apprentice to Expert.

After rating, you will be prompted to “Repost” the achievement if you worked on the achievement as well or you can “Dismiss” it. On a report, the same content, skills, and people invited to rate are included. Talentsky suggests a new image based upon the achievement description.

Simply click “Post” to share the achievement.

After posting, you’ll see the achievement in your Home feed and profile with an “Awaiting ratings” pill.
