The Case for Talent Communities
Bryan Wempen, EVP PeopleClues & DriveThruHR
Maren Hogan, Head of Marketing, US BraveNewTalent
Recruiting is broken It’s expensive It takes forever It’s convoluted Solutions are not integrated.
What we know: Investing in human capital has a proven ROI. Social Recruiting has helped but not solved the distance between candidate and employer. Talent Communities, when properly built and managed, create a solid candidate pipeline, focused on quality rather quantity.
Recruit. Develop. Retain. These key human capital management activities are most often thought of as linear and time sequential. However, with the generation gap growing and the talent pool shrinking, some organizations are asking, "What does it mean for business outcomes if we substitute development for recruiting?" It's time to consider the nonlinear relationship between
recruitment and development within organizations. -Human Capital Lab, BY MICHAEL E. ECHOLS, PH.D.
Companies are recognizing the value in social recruiting.
It gives them access to MORE applicants.
Candidate segmentation- critical for effective recruiting. • 1: many messaging- timely information to a large audience. • Socially based relationship development- engage in 2-way communication. • 1:1 messaging- the ability to communicate privately with individuals is critical.
