This article explains what a Contact Request is, how it’s triggered, and what you need to do to respond. A Contact Request is required before you can begin a Talent Transaction.
Step 1: Someone Views Your Talent
Once you’ve created a Talent Profile (see: How to Create a Talent Profile), another company may view that profile.
If they express interest, you will receive a Contact Request notification:
Step 2: Open the Contact Request
This opens the Contact Request Received page.
You’ll see:
Name and company of the requester
Their contact info (email + availability)
A link: “Go here to respond to this request.”
Step 3: Respond to the Contact Request
Click “Go here to respond to this request.”
Once you respond, your contact info is shared with the requester.
The status will update to show that you’ve replied.
⚠ Important: Both parties must respond to the contact request before a transaction can begin.
