Can you create a 'House Cat' and call him Blue? I would sign up if you did that. And it would be cool if he talked :)
feedback
The Blender results are impressive — it found a heritage surveyor I would never have thought to search for. Saved me hours.
missing role
Drone operators and aerial photographers — massive growth area, not on any mainstream platform yet. Could be a good niche for TalentBlender.
feature
Google sign-in would remove a lot of friction — I abandoned registration the first time because I couldn't be bothered to create another password.
missing role
Grant writers and bid writers for the charity sector — we spend half our time finding people who can do this and there's no easy way.
feature
A mobile app would make a huge difference — I do most of my browsing on my phone and the site is a bit small on mobile.
feature
An availability calendar on profiles would be really useful — knowing someone is free in March specifically, not just 'available'.
missing role
Where are the translators and interpreters? I work in seven languages and there's no category for it anywhere on the platform.
idea
Would be great to see availability at a glance in the gallery — a green dot for 'available now' on each tile would save a lot of clicking.
idea
A reverse Blender would be brilliant — I describe my skills and it shows me what kinds of projects I'd be matched to. Let talent find the work, not just wait to be found.
missing role
HelloI tried to join, however, my role is not listed and there is no option to add one. I work as a Mobile Pet Microchipper. How do I add this as a role?Kind Regards
feature
Could the Blender save previous searches? I often run the same brief for ongoing projects and it's tedious to retype.
idea
Let's swop skills! Swop me making the best organic bagels ever technique, and I'll show make a Japanese top in 30 minutes!
feedback
The first industrial revolution took work from people's hands. AI could give it back — if the right platform exists. What would that look like for you?
idea
Could we have team profiles? I often work with two or three people and we pitch together — would love to list us as a unit.
feedback
Registration was quick and painless — no CV upload, no 10-page form. Refreshing. The profile page could use a bit more space for portfolio links though.
idea
Would love a way to filter the gallery by location — I'm looking for trades within 20 miles of Hastings specifically.
idea
A project board where clients post briefs and talent can express interest would be a great addition. Not everyone knows to use the Blender.
feedback
I tried the Blender for a software project and the matches were genuinely good. Would love to see more tech profiles on there — feels a bit thin on the senior engineering side.
feedback
Love the concept — LinkedIn has never worked for me as a ceramicist. This feels like it was built for people who actually make things.
idea
Could the Blender show why it matched each person? A short sentence explaining the reasoning would really help me decide who to contact.
feature
A short video intro on profiles would be brilliant — a 60 second clip is worth a thousand words for creative and trades people.
feature
Verified reviews from previous clients would add a lot of trust. Even a simple thumbs up / thumbs down from people you've worked with.
missing role
No blacksmiths or metalworkers in the gallery — I do bespoke ironwork and there's nowhere for people like me on any platform.
missing role
Medical herbalists and complementary therapists are missing from health & wellbeing — it's not all nurses and physios.
feedback
The gallery colour palette is bold — not what I expected from a professional platform, but it kind of works? It stands out.
missing role
Textile artists and weavers — I know at least a dozen brilliant ones who have no online presence whatsoever. They'd love this.
feedback
Used the Blender to find a copywriter and a photographer for a product launch. Got five good matches in seconds. Will definitely use again.
feedback
Messaging another member was straightforward. Would be good to get a notification when they reply though — I nearly missed the response.
