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

As posted on the “I hate talent hub” forum, can you reopen the #collaboration sections? Thanks.

I dont “hate” the Talent Hub, but the UI and accessibility is not the best.

Dear @Roblox,

I believe I am speaking for the community when I say, please change the verification method, and the PIN block. Developers use PINs to keep their account secure and safe from hackers. It’s supposed to be a security feature, and a lot of people use it, regardless of age. As for the verification method, no one is going to want to trust a third party website with forms of real world identification, which can lead to identity fraud. I for one, haven’t used the verification method because I don’t want someone having access to my personal data for 90 days. Anything can happen in 90 days, including the verification site getting hacked, and thousands of people having their data exposed on the internet. Many people have stated these opinions in this feed, and the “I hate the Talent Hub” feed.

And this is only scratching the surface of problems with the Talent Hub. I will be making more posts on that soon…

Anyone know any other websites / locations where we can post portfolios?

Some proposed bulletin board, but its not sure if its allowed or not… Hosting it on your own website is also an option.

I would definitely prefer somewhere like the devforum collab section where you could just scroll through a list of portfolios and take your pick, whilst also being able to post your own portfolio up.

Guess using Hidden Developers / RoDev’s for-hire channels will have to do :smiling_face_with_tear:

Talent hub is completely unusable on phone, since the UI is too weirdly created I can’t see messages, I can only see half of the Jobs tab and I can’t even access the Discover Creators/Devlopers button!

Back to this again. I can’t tell if it was due to me adding a few Skills on my profile, or if it was like this before I did so. I haven’t used, or been interacted with, on the hub since the pending moderation sign went away.

Regardless it doesn’t make any sense. If it was me adding skills just now, implying changes to your profile trigger moderation review, then that is severely overkill and likely was just overseen considering skills are chosen from a pre-determined list. If not, then this is either something related to my ROBLOX profile, just some bug with the system, or a way people are abusing the report button that might cause accounts to get flagged for review.

I think in any of these scenarios, making users not visible in search is way too unfair. If you apply the same logic to the ROBLOX platform - if I edit my game, or my game gets reported, should that game no longer appear on the website until it is manually reviewed? Whatever is causing this, it needs to be fixed, because it causing the talent hub to be almost completely unusable for me.

Let’s make a script that represents almost everyone’s opinion on the Talent Hub:

local TalentHubOpinions = {}
local theDevelopersThatAreHappy = {}

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local talentHubExists = true
local talentHubIsGood = false
local CollabCategoryOpen = false
local developersAreMad

for _, AllDevelopers in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
      if talentHubExists == true then
         if talentHubIsGood == false then
           if CollabCategoryOpen == false
              developersAreMad = true
           repeat developersAreMad until
            talentHubIsGood == true or CollabCategoryOpen == true  
               table.insert(theDevelopersThatAreHappy, AllDevelopers) 
                end 
            end
        end
    end
end

return TalentHubOpinions

Hopefully they are working to implement something like that on talent hub

They’d have to redo their entire find creators / find jobs page for that, which then would mean TalentHub was never ready for release and rumors of Roblox rushing things will start :man_shrugging:

Hey! The invite button seems to be disabled for me and I don’t think I must be verified:

EDIT: does seem like a website to create a portfolio page, but is there anywhere to actually advertise the portfolios

Thanks for your response, I admire your ability to be open about this to the community. However, may I ask how this is going? Almost a month later.

The (what I believe to be) “full” release or full rollout of these new changes mentioned was expected to come early this month, and in hand the deletion of the collaboration category.
If these delays are manifested to happen, if they keep happening, has the thought of opening the #collaboration category been brought up?

Its locking has done absolutely nothing to benefit the community or player base, and has rather harmfully affected the community as your promised alternative (and “better” replacement) is just simply not coming out fast enough and we are paying the price.

The opening of the category in the meantime as the talent hub fully rolls out (and recovers from its terrible state) has nothing but pros, and would be appreciated across the entire globe (from those who use the devforum, that is).

Oh wow… I accidentally used the wrong id to verify my age, now my account is underaged and I dont have access to it anymore.

Suggestion: Add a “not interested” or “hide” button on job posts. I see a Spanish job post on the front page and I speak English.

OOF. Maybe contact support? That sucks

I feel like people would enjoy this much more if job posts had comments, that way you can ask questions without having to request to work.

Can the Talent Hub stop censoring everything and work more similarly to the DevForum? It’s actually ridiculous, it takes me multiple messages to follow up with job applications because my entire message gets censored and deleted for asking for contact information, their age, etc, which I need to know to follow up and hire someone…
