“Talent exchange” is defined by Staffing Industry Analysts’ online Lexicon of workforce solutions ecosystem terms as an online (possibly cloud technology-based) platform spanning worker type, location and time. This broad definition could conceivably include job boards/social networks, crowdsourcing platforms, and what Staffing Industry Analysts identifies as “human cloud” platforms, and is used in the e-recruitment process.

As the ecosystem evolves, SIA’s mission is to keep the language current for professionals in the space.
