After using the devforum for commissions for years, I just had my first experience with the talent hub, it unfortunately did not go well. I like the idea of the talent hub and I think that it can be better than the devforum, but the advantage that the devforum had was that we could see reviews left by people who had commissioned them. The person that I had commission for me did not fulfil the commission correctly and because of it I lost 35,000 Robux, but more importantly set me back on development as I have to find someone new. I think a way to review people on the talent hub would make it a lot better and help others avoid situations like mine.
It’s getting tight, it is expected to be deleted by the end of 2021 … meaning, this month
Yes, that is the only major UI update we have recieved on the Talent Hub ever since it’s release.
Suggestion: Add an option to EDIT sent messages on the Talent Hub. And, please expand the word limit per message.
Hi @peraldon,
Any updates regarding portfolios? We would like to know if these suggestions are being considered for talent hub and if the portfolios section of collaboration will stay until those suggestions are added to talent hub.
Thanks
Yeah, this is still something we would really appreciate being taken into consideration.
I haven’t seen many noticeable updates to the Talent Hub, and since the removal of the portfolios in #collaboration I haven’t found many work opportunities at all.
Thanks
Hey! We’ve been investigating internally how to make it easier for people with more visual portfolios to portray themselves and their work on Talent Hub. This is a key priority for the team to solve coming into the new year.
As such, we’ll be postponing the deletion of the Collaboration DevForum category until end of March 2022, by which point we currently estimate we will have achieved this goal. Personally, I’m super excited about some of the features we’ve been researching and planning - the biggest bonus of having Talent Hub as its own site rather than sitting on the DevForum is that we can push features a lot further than we could whilst using a forum layout.
It showed error last time I wanted to publish a job post (yesterday) and now it doesn’t get moderator checked, is there anything I can do about it?
Its good to see the collaboration category stay a little bit while you finish fixing and adding feature ! Even though I think it was released just a little early, I really think that it’s a great platform and a good alternative to devforum at least to post work ! Keep up the good work !
Can’t seem to “invite” anyone, regardless of if they’re verified or not.
Can’t click on any of those, and I’ve got my own recruitment post which makes me wonder if people can even apply.

It’s a good layout, but the execution of this is appalling, it’s complicated atm.
No, I don’t have a pin (had to disable it as I used it as 2FA), and my account is age-verified.
I had this bug too, even though I managed to get it worked after spam-refreshing the page.
I checked out your post and don’t worry people can still apply, its just the invite button which has a problem.
It’s a bug. I had this issue once, but usually it gets fixed after some time.
I got one question how do I change Years of Experience?
I just have one piece of advice for you: Please remove the rule that you need to verify your account (or remove pin) in order to see unverified developers. I understand you might think this is a good rule to “help find reliable developers”, but this rule is actually counterproductive; it does far more harm than good for developers. Furthermore, I wouldn’t even mind if it required a verified email or authenticator, but there are many issues with the current requirements. For example, removing account pin takes away an extra layer of security, and verifying an ID is not an accessible option for some developers, not to mention the process can seem uncomfortable to some people.
I completely agree with what you are saying here ! In the first place, Roblox never said that this PIN was for parental control until now ! Also, not being verified with an ID makes it way more difficult just to be found on the talent hub, people will always get a notification saying to be super careful with this person every time you interact. I think that it is exaggerated and we shouldn’t be verified with an ID just to show up in the “find creators” tab. I agree that we need a layer of protection to know with who you’re dealing with, and I would be totally fine on verifying my phone, email and authenticator, but this is too much I think. This just my opinion, you may disagree.
Yes, I agree to this as well. It does harm developers in a couple of ways. I believe the ID verification should be used for the Roblox gaming platform, but not the Talent Hub itself. It just doesn’t seem to fit in properly to me. Currently, if you use the Talent Hub without age verification via your ID, fewer developers notice your job posts and it can really harm some of the best or starting developers out there.
I’m so confused, what’s happened to DevForum Portfolios? Has it moved onto this new website?
It’s actually called a ‘Parent Pin’ in account settings, however I agree, this restriction should be removed.
The Collaboration Category (the place you post your portfolio and collaboration topics) will be archived sometime next year. Currently, existing posts inside that category can be edited, but you cannot create new topics for that category.
You now have to use the Talent Hub to create a portfolio or job listing.
They actually changed that just a few weeks after the talent hub released.
Roblox really needs to get themselves together. The Talent Hub was thrown at Developers last minute and it is constantly removing Developers from listings. I have been removed from the Talent Hub a number of times with no explanation and usually Roblox Support stating that they are working on things.
So, I guess we be patient and when Roblox feels up for resolving these issues, we’ll get a random post on the forums. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
