Introducing Talent Hub Open Beta - New Platform to Find & Post Work!

what?! i cannot use this because of the pin. i didnt add this to my account for parental reasons i did it to up my security so if i got hacked my pass cant be changed. this isnt good. im not disabling my security to use this. please re do this. a lot of us use the pin to keep our accounts safe. just block accounts that are under 13, dont have a verified email, havent been on roblox for longer than a year and have parental controls enabled on the account (such as disabled chat or messaging functions). the pin should not be considered a parental control.

This is such an awesome addition to the platform and I can’t wait to see how it grows. Congratulations to all the team members for pulling through with this!

One thing I noticed that kind of bugged me was how the ‘find creators’ search bar doesn’t support actual user names. Is this a bug, and are there any plans for it to be fixed/changed?

For users that use the account PIN for security reasons, will the restriction possibly be removed soon and replaced with a better one instead of relying on the account pin?

This looks like a super cool thing! Can’t wait to start posting there but will have to wait a few weeks because I broke my arm recently.

I don’t even understand what’s the point on only showing verified developers (and with no way to self-verify). It’s not necessary to hide everyone else. A checkmark next to someone’s name should be enough.

I feel like this discriminates smaller developers because many devs aren’t willing to risk their account security to see unverified talent hub posts.

What qualifies someone as a “most active contributor to the dev forums and platform”? I’ve logged onto the Dev Forum almost every day for the past year and occasionally make topics and reply to threads.

This is where I really get confused. I have access to the Collaboration > Recruitment category and I’m able to make a topic there if I wanted to, but I’m unable to access the Talent Hub despite that. Am I missing something here?

I use an Account PIN on my account to improve security, as I currently cannot rely on ROBLOX’s default security options alone to keep my account safe. The way this paragraph is worded makes it sound like having an Account PIN (is there a difference?) is nothing more than just a “mechanism for parents and guardians”, which is far from the truth.

Will posts created in the Collaboration section of the Dev Forum be archived? It would be a shame for these posts to be lost forever and some people may want to look back on the posts they or other people made in the past for future reference.

I don’t think you have to show all of it, just the date of birth. Other services like twitter use it

Excellent update, I’ve been waiting for something like this to happen where all developers can connect to the community more easily. :+1:

Oh yes very good point I don’t want to spend more time making my portfolio because I also need to record some gameplay for it although I can just download it, still very good if the posts just get hidden and locked instead of deleted, this way looking back to ideas will be easy and accessible.

I’m super excited for the Talent Hub, one thing that demotivated me from doing commissions is the lack of trust and the problems that goes on behind the scenes. I’m super glad to see the Talent Hub that will have more verified and trust-worthy developers.

A crucial step to beta testing is allowing for feedback from your testers. In this step, you require vast improvement as you have provided unequal opportunity to give feedback and have therefore discouraged feedback from occurring.

The links you have provided are DevForum links, in order to make bug reports or feature requests on the DevForum, you need to have reached a certain activity bracket by making some amount of posts and spending some amount of time on it.

I am not an active DevForum user and I don’t have access to create Topics in these sections, but I’ve been invited to the Talent Hub Open Beta, and I would very much like to give some feedback. Here’s a start:

The feedback you are receiving right now is being restricted and muffled by a lack of access. I recommend whitelisting beta testers for your method of feedback or creating a form that all beta testers can access and fill.

Everything amazing except it requiring us to disable account PIN.

I can’t wait for this to happen! Well I would have to wait for a bit to get access as I am not a big creator or anything, however I will wait and hope I will get access to this as soon as possible!!

I’ve literally had bad blood with hiring on the platform from previous experiences. The fact that now we have something dedicated to this is incredible. Maybe I can finally trust commissions on Roblox once more.

A really nice feature here would be some sort of direct payment system through this new service. This way, not only could independent developers without a group (or a group without group funds) pay people for their work without tax, Roblox also has a way of verifying what was asked of, and would help instead of these squabbles over what people consider their property.

Keep up the good work, Roblox. Can’t wait for this to be released!

I would like to see something similar to those domain marketplace services. The developer and contractor puts the decided goods in an escrow, just like trading.

Maybe some file structure viewer, file line counter and maybe some automatic detection system to ensure the developer doesn’t deliver useless mess. Maybe have a 3 day cooldown before the Robux is released, so the contractor can report scams to Roblox.

Of course, this increases workload on the moderation team, but also confidence and new opportunities for the platform.
