Network and portal access are relationship-based and do not begin with a shopping cart, invoice, or checkout gate.
TNC Networks & Connections
One clear entry point for each relationship.
Talent, Employer, and Partner each have one matching Network option. Partner remains exclusively for recruiting-and-placement industry participants, with Individual Partner and Partner Firm account lanes. World Connections is separate: Discovery first, package selection second, and a $1,290 final activation charge.
RELATIONSHIP ACCESS · NETWORK ACCESS · CONNECTIONS · COLLABORATION
One relationship lane. One primary offer.
Talent, Client, and Partner Networks are separate relationship lanes. World Connections is a separate Discovery-first relationship path.
Each Network lane presents one matching offer. Partner is only for recruiting-and-placement professionals or firms.
Terms depend on the selected lane: $0 recruiting consideration for Talent, separate employer-funded search terms for Clients, no public Partner retail price, and the approved World charge only at completion.
Only the party identified by the separately authorized service, search, Partner, or World Connections terms.
The written agreement for the selected lane; no relationship silently activates another lane or paid service.
Not every 1290 relationship is a paid service. Network and portal access are relationship-based. Recruiting fees are employer-funded and governed by a separate search agreement. Optional paid services are purchased only through a separate service authorization.
Talent, Client, and Partner Network access begins with the appropriate relationship—not a shopping cart, checkout, invoice, or purchase gate.
