My TFS usually sends weekly emails with the demand report and sends that email to all people on the bench or coming available soon. I think he does it be level as well, so I see how many analysts are on the FS bench (even though we're generalists now)

So in short - reach out to your TFS

TFS = what?

Talent fulfillment specialist = most useless specialist

E1 it's an HR rep that's supposed to help us find roles essentially....But they're pretty useless, and when they do pint you in the direction of a role it's likely not what you even want to do
