What are Talent Pool Open Reqs?
Open Reqs let you post a job opportunity directly to the members of one of your curated talent pools. Instead of a full project setup or a one-to-one Quick Hire, you can broadcast a role to a pre-vetted group without it going to the entire public job board.
If you’ve built a talent pool—say, trusted copywriters, design specialists, or agency partners—Open Reqs let you activate that pool quickly whenever an opportunity comes up. Your pool’s saved filters pre-fill the role details so setup is fast and consistent.
How to Create an Open Req
Open Reqs are accessed from your talent pool pages.
Step 1 — Go to your Talent Pool page
Navigate to the talent pool you want to post to. You’ll see the Open Reqs section showing any active or past reqs for that pool.
Step 2 — Click “+ Open Req”
Start a new req from the talent pool page to launch the Create Req wizard.
Step 3 — Define the Role
Review and complete the role details—confirm the role and add the job title and job description. You can also upload a brief at this step. The role’s skills, brands, and industries are automatically pulled from your pool’s saved search filters—no manual entry is needed for those fields.
💡 Tip: Keep the saved filters in your talent pools up to date. These define the role parameters and determine which members are a match.
Step 4 — Set Budget & Timeline
Select your pricing structure and enter the expected start and end dates. This will then allow you to set your budget.
Step 5 — Review & Post
Confirm the details and click Create Req & Invite Pool to post the req. The project becomes visible to pool members on their job board. In addition, all matching pool members receive an email notification that the opportunity is available.
How Open Reqs Compare to Quick Hire
Both features use the same simplified project creation flow. The key differences are:
Who sees it — Quick Hire: one specific talent. Open Req: all matching members of the pool via their job board.
Auto-shortlisting — Quick Hire: yes, talent is auto-shortlisted and invited. Open Req: no, members see it and apply themselves.
Email notification — both send an email, but Quick Hire invites a proposal while Open Req notifies of a new opportunity.
Pre-fill source — Quick Hire pulls from your Browse Talent search filters. Open Req pulls from the pool’s saved filters.
Best for — Quick Hire: one specific person you already want. Open Req: broadcasting to your pre-vetted bench.
Key Behaviors to Know
Visibility is scoped to the pool
The project is only visible to members of that specific pool on their job board. It does not appear on the public Wripple job board.
Pool filters set the role parameters
Skills, brands, roles, and industries are determined by your pool’s saved search filters—not entered manually during setup.
Talent are not automatically shortlisted
Pool members receive an email and can choose to apply. You review and manage proposals as you would on any standard project.
It’s a real project
The req creates a standard Wripple project scoped to your pool. All usual project tools—proposals, shortlisting, messaging, interviews—work the same way.
When Should You Use Open Reqs?
You have a talent pool you want to post to first, before going to the wider marketplace.
You want multiple people to see an opportunity, but not the entire platform.
You post recurring roles against the same pool and want a fast, consistent setup each time.
