There has been a lot of talk about the concept of creating talent pools, talent pipelines, and the term "du jour" talent communities. But most of what I have seen in the market is nothing more than custom branded landing pages to segment the candidate flow to your job postings. Talent Circles is about to change all of it.

To create anything like a community there needs to be multi-directional interaction. Web 2.0 technology is designed for interaction, yet we still tend to use it for posting jobs and filling requisitions.

When I got a look at Talent Circles, I said to myself "finally, someone has decided to pull this all together!"

They have built a dynamic portal that brings together social media, web meeting, chat, video, and job listings all on a single interactive platform. In the video demo you will see the following:

• Registration with social profile
• Searching for people to connect with or jobs
• Calendar and messages
• Recorded interactions and sharing content
• Scheduling meetings and webinars
• Job listings
• Candidate segmentation
• Reporting
