A talent pool is a group of candidate profiles formed for a specific objective. Different candidates may be grouped based on various criteria, such as skill sets, educational background, geographical location, etc. This categorization makes searching for relevant candidates in the same category for a particular requirement easier. 

Recruiters and HR Managers use talent pools to reserve interesting talent they can turn to when they need to fill a particular position.
