# Getting started with Amazon Connect Talent
<a name="getting-started"></a>

To start using Amazon Connect Talent, you create a Talent instance from the AWS console. The instance creation wizard walks you through identity management, administrator setup, permissions, and resource provisioning. You can also configure SAML 2.0-based authentication for single sign-on access, prepare Amazon SES for candidate email, and set up your instance for recruiters.
