Vendor User Guide

This guide is designed to help your Vendors effectively navigate the TalentDesk platform — from onboarding and applying for opportunities to managing their team members and submitting worksheets for payment.

On TalentDesk “Vendors” refers to any organizations or agencies who collaborate with client organisations to deliver work through their own teams. This guide explains how you can onboard your team, assign work, and ensure efficient project delivery and payment.

You will receive an email invitation to join TalentDesk. If it doesn’t appear in your inbox, please check your spam or junk folder.

    • Fill out your organization profile details.

    • Review and sign any required legal documents (e.g., Partner Contract, NDA).

    • Complete your invoicing and tax details.

    • Add payment details (e.g., bank account, Payoneer, Wise).

Once onboarding is complete, your Vendor profile will appear in your the Organisation’s TalentDesk workspace, making your organization eligible for opportunities.


2. Onboarding and Managing Your Team

As a Vendor, you can invite your own team members (technicians, contractors, specialists) to your TalentDesk account.

To onboard your team:

   1. Navigate to Team > Invite Team Member.



   2. Enter their email addresses of the person you would like to invite. You also have the option to invite multiple people at once by clicking on Add all at once.

Each onboarded member will appear under your Team tab. You can manage their access, deactivate members, or update their rates at any time.


3. Applying for Opportunities

When a new Opportunity, you may be invited to apply.

How to Apply:

  1. You’ll receive an email and in-platform notification. You can also go to the Work>Opportunities section to and see any open Opportunities you can apply to.

  2. Click Apply to open the application form.

  3. Provide any requested information and attach your quote.

The Organisation will review your application and confirm whether your organization has been selected. Once approved, your Vendor account will be added to the Opportunity — and you can begin assigning your team to specific tasks associated to that Opportunity.


4. Assigning Your Team to Tasks

After being added to an Opportunity, one or more tasks may be created tasks associated with it. As a Vendor, you can assign these tasks to your onboarded team members.

Worksheets are how your team records their work for approval and payment.

  • Navigate to Finances > Worksheets and click Submit Worksheet.

  • Or go to a specific task and select Submit Worksheet.



Steps for your team members:

  1. Enter the billing period, number of hours/days they’ve completed, and a summary of work completed.

  • If a worksheet requires review from you it will have a “Submitted” status, waiting for you to “Confirm” it

  • You can either click “Confirm” directly from the Worksheet list view or;


  • You can click the dropdown next to the worksheet and click “View” to get the full worksheet details 
  • Here you’ll be able to review any details submitted including the amount. You can click to “Confirm” the worksheets, or “Reject”, or “Request amendment” if you want your team member to change anything and resubmit the worksheet 



Once a worksheet is “Confirmed” by the Vendor Admin, it then goes to the Organisation for final review and approval. 




6. Invoicing and Payment

  • If these dates fall on a weekend or holiday, payments are processed on the next working day.

  • You will receive an email once payment has been made.

Payment Methods:

  • Bank Transfer (ACH or Wire)

  • Payoneer or Wise

  • Multi-currency options supported, depending on your region.
