Virtual Talent Bench
Every applicant seen. The right ones matched
Add one link to your job ads. AI screens and ranks every applicant in seconds, so you meet only the best fits.
For Clients
Cut through the noise, hire with confidence
Add VBench to your existing ads and let AI screen every applicant on what matters to you, then rank them with full transparency. Your team spends more time with the right people instead of sifting through the noise.
Screen on What Matters
AI screens every applicant on your real criteria: visa, location, salary, and both hard and soft skills. You only speak to the people who genuinely fit.
Interview-Ready Insights
Get personalised interview questions for each candidate plus in-depth analysis, including cross-functional skill opportunities and any concerns or areas worth probing.
Fits Your Workflow
VBench sits between your job adverts and your CRM or email. Keep advertising where you already do, and connect it to your existing systems with API and webhook integrations.
Extended Network
Reach beyond active applicants with TA's Extended Network for proactive headhunting across large talent pools, surfacing passive candidates who never apply to ads.
Sponsored Talent
We can sponsor. If a candidate needs sponsorship we show you the all-in cost up front. Happy with the price and we sponsor quickly and handle the rest. Minimum 12-month term.
Deep Search
Struggling to fill? Upgrade to Deep Search and have your bench populated for you in real time by the best recruiters in your sector.
For Candidates
If you are right for the job, you ARE seen
Your skills speak for themselves. VBench makes sure you are never lost in a sea of applications, assessed on merit rather than how your CV is formatted. AI does not replace the human here. It gives recruiters more time to spend with the right people, so you get genuine human engagement.
You ARE Seen
If you are right for the job, you will not get lost in a sea of applications. VBench makes sure the right people see your profile.
Skills Speak for Themselves
Bias eliminated. No gatekeeping on names or backgrounds. Your abilities are assessed on pure merit with AI-powered skill scoring that lets your talent do the talking.
Beyond the CV
VBench surfaces your cross-functional skills and opportunities to employers even when your CV does not look like an obvious fit. Formatting it a certain way is not essential. If the information is there, you will be seen.
Everyone Gets Closure
No ghosting, no black holes. Real-time status updates mean you always know where you stand at every stage.
See Roles Early
Open a new avenue to see up-and-coming positions before they go live, putting you ahead of the queue.
More Human, Not Less
AI does not replace the human. It gives recruiters more time to spend with the right people, so you get genuine human engagement rather than an automated brush-off.
Sponsorship Pathway
Need visa sponsorship to work in Australia? Employers on VBench actively want to sponsor the right talent. TA handles the entire process so you get placed and sponsored without navigating it alone.

- Scores hard and soft skills 0-100% with written evidence
- Gates on visa, location, and salary before scoring fit
- Detects cross-functional and adjacent skill opportunities
- Produces personalised interview questions and areas to probe
A 60-second click-through. No sign-up required.

Candidates apply
Applicants add their details and preferences through your link. No cover letters, no lengthy forms.

Full transparency on every score, so your team can trust the ranking.

Candidates are ordered so the best matches surface first on your secure dashboard, scored and ready to go, with privacy controls until you engage.
