   • Open a candidate list, select one or more candidates, and then click Add to Talent Pool in the toolstrip.
   • Open a candidate list, select one or more candidates, and then right-click to open a list of actions. Click the Add to Talent Pool option.
   • In a candidate's profile, click Add to Talent Pool in the Actions list.

5. Note: A read-only pin icon is displayed next to each talent pool to indicate whether the talent pool is displayed in your Pinned list in the Recruiting side panel. The solid blue icon indicates that the talent pool is pinned, while the white icon with the blue outline indicates that the talent pool is available, but not pinned.
3. Select the checkbox next to each talent pool that you want to add the candidate to. If the candidate is already in one or more of the talent pools, the corresponding checkbox is grayed out. It isn’t possible to remove the candidate from a talent pool from this dialog box, instead you must open the talent pool's candidate list and remove the candidate from there. See View Candidates in Talent Pools.
4. Click Save.

You also go to the Candidate Info tab of any candidate's profile and look at the Candidate Information section to see if the candidate is a member of any talent pool.
• In the Classic Recruiter Experience, look for the "Candidate is a member of a talent pool" icon () for the candidate in candidate lists and in the candidate's profile. Click the icon to see a list of the talent pools that the candidate is a member of, as well as the date that they were added to each one.
