Talent Flex interaction with vendor management systems

Eightfold is working on integrating Flex with several vendor management systems (VMSs). In general, a VMS sends a gig to Eightfold, and the gig shows up on the home page. Eightfold compiles a curated list of candidates that may be a good match for the gig (based on match score, availability, and other factors) and sends that list to the VMS. The list of recommended leads is sent to a Flex customer directly through the Eightfold system, once Flex is integrated. The VMS would then advance candidates, send them to the payroll system, and take other actions on the candidates.

Candidate experience

Candidates can take the following actions in Flex:

• Apply for gigs: See the Talent Flex candidate experience document.
• Manage gig preferences
• Provide gig feedback
