Questions people ask before they send a brief

Most of what lands in our inbox is about the same handful of things: how profiles get reviewed, what a brief should contain, and who to talk to when something on the site does not behave the way you expected. The answers below are the ones we give most often, written out so you can read them at your own pace instead of waiting on a reply.

Reach the Talentack team directly

Which channel to use

  • Profile or portfolio edits — email with the profile link and the exact field you want changed.
  • Hiring briefs and shortlists — call during working hours if the brief is time-sensitive, otherwise email.
  • References and availability — email is best; attach any updated dates or referee details.

Reaching the right desk, and knowing what happens next

Most questions on this page come from two places: someone building a profile and unsure which field matters, or a hiring manager holding a brief and unsure how to send it. Both routes have a person behind them, and neither one needs a ticket number to start.

Email support

Best for profile edits, brief wording and anything with a screenshot or document attached. Write from the address tied to your profile so we can find it without back-and-forth.

Phone line

For shortlisting questions and brief routing. Weekdays during South African business hours, and it helps to have the profile name or skill cluster ready before you call.

Written enquiries

If your question is about account access, profile visibility or how references are stored, put it in writing and we will reply in the same thread.

Response times

Email is answered within one business day, and usually sooner on weekday mornings. Phone calls are picked up between 08:00 and 16:30, Monday to Friday. Messages that arrive over the weekend or on a public holiday are read on the next working day. If your brief is time-sensitive, say so in the subject line and it moves up the queue.

Not sure which route fits? The help pages cover profile setup, availability windows and how a brief reaches a shortlist. Start there if your question is about how the directory works rather than a specific account.

Still deciding which question to ask first

Most people land on this page halfway through setting up a profile or halfway through writing a brief. If the answer you need is about how profiles are structured, how availability windows are read, or what happens after a brief is sent, the fastest route is to send the question directly. We read every message and reply with a specific answer, not a link to a general article.

Before you write, it helps to skim what a published profile includes and how hiring briefs are routed. That usually clears two or three questions before you ask.

One question per message works best. Include the page or field you are looking at, and we can point you to the exact step.
