The process where a team of workers applies for a job collectively. This term generally describes a centralized hiring approach where multiple applicants are considered for a position, and the hiring process is coordinated across departments or agencies. In the context of a team applying together, it may also be referred to as "team-based hiring" or "group application processes," depending on the specific scenario.

In pooled hiring, large numbers of applicants are considered, and even if only a few are selected, the remaining qualified candidates remain in the hiring pool for future opportunities. This approach encourages collaboration between hiring managers and HR teams to strategically and efficiently recruit top candidates.
