Today the Company also announced TalentAlly, the job board dedicated to connecting underrepresented talent with inclusive employers, will launch an updated website at talentally.com. The redesigned site features a sleek, modern look with improved navigation and enhanced functionality for both job seekers and employers.

“We set out to build more than just a job board — we wanted to create a destination that supports career growth for job seekers while making it easier for inclusive employers to engage with top talent,” said Russell Esquivel, Jr., President of TalentAlly. “This updated site strengthens both sides of that connection.”

This improvement comes at a time when the recruitment industry is on an upswing, fueled by digital and AI transformations, an increasingly flexible workforce, and high-need industries. Global Market Insights projects that the global recruitment outsourcing market size will increase from $10.3 billion to $11 billion in 2025, reaching $25.8 billion by 2034, at a CAGR of 9.9%. TalentAlly, in particular, has seen 44.3% increase in monthly site visitors and 79.8% increase in monthly page views since January 2025.

For job seekers, the upgraded job search tool makes finding the right opportunities simpler and more effective. TalentAlly will also add a comprehensive resource center designed to support professionals at all career levels, including practical guidance on resumes, cover letters, networking, and interviewing, plus workplace success skills such as conflict resolution, leadership development, and professional growth recommendations. Employers will benefit from a streamlined experience with clearer pathways to partner with TalentAlly. The site highlights industry-specific pages that showcase successful outcomes in targeted fields and new talent acquisition resources about building productive and inclusive hiring practices.

The enhancements are expected to boost engagement across the platform, leading to more return visits from job seekers, more job views and applications for employers, and ultimately, stronger career matches.
