# TalentSync

> Welfare-optimal matching for hiring markets. A weekly talent matchmaker, not a job board. TalentSync introduced candidates and employers using game-theoretic optimization (min-cost flow over the whole market), achieving 95% hireable match rates vs. 24% for conventional boards.

**Status:** TalentSync is currently inactive. The research worked; the two-sided market did not attract enough participants to sustain the platform. The matching engine, research, and published paper remain available. Contact admin@talentsync.pro for inquiries about the approach.

## What it does

- Weekly market-clearing run (Sundays) matches every candidate to every open role simultaneously rather than per-job ranking.
- Scoring weights derive from peer-reviewed meta-analyses; skills are weighted ~5x higher than credentials.
- Candidates receive up to 5 quality introductions per week; employers receive up to 5 pre-vetted candidates. Candidates are always free.
