Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What Internet browsers does TalentCircles support?

A: Internet Explorer 7 or higher, Firefox 3.5 or higher, Google Chrome, and Safari 4 or higher.

Q: Why am I having problems accessing certain pages on the site?

A: To maximize performance, TalentCircles passes information to and from your computer on a regular basis. Some site features may not function correctly when there is Internet security or firewall software running on your computer. Your software (e.g., browser, pop-up blocker, firewall) will likely have settings that allow you to specify certain blocked information can be passed from our site. The settings to investigate are cookie blocking, ad blocking, and blocking of referrer information.

Q: Why doesn't the link you sent me in an email work?

A: Check to see if your browser is receiving the entire link we provided. Sometimes, if the URL is too long, your email program may display it on two lines, and the second line is not sent to your browser. If that's the case, copy (CTRL + C; CMD + C for Macs) and paste (CTRL + V; CMD + V for Macs) the complete URL into the address bar of your browser.

If this doesn't work, please contact us with as much of the following information as possible: first name, last name, street address, city, state, country, ZIP code, and phone number.
