Hiring maturity

  4. Level 4

    Validate and certify skills upfront, before deployment decisions are made.

  5. Level 5

FAQs

What is External Talent Marketplace?

Zigtal’s External Talent Marketplace is a hiring model that gives you access to pre-qualified, role-specific talent pools, ready to be deployed as your needs grow.

How is it different from traditional recruitment platforms?

Traditional hiring starts when a role opens and leans on resume screening. ETM builds certified supply in advance—candidates meet defined role standards before placement.

How does it reduce ramp-up and early attrition?

Gaps discovered after join are expensive. ETM surfaces and addresses them before hiring so new hires contribute sooner and leave less often.

Who benefits most?

Enterprises where volume, geography, and frontline capability directly affect outcomes—and where enforcing role-based requirements upfront keeps quality steady as you scale.
