In a talent crunch situation, recruiters and hiring managers concentrate their efforts on filling open slots. But this approach will give you only a limited scope when it comes to screening candidates who could possibly be the right fit for other roles. Today, more than ever, it is extremely critical for organizations to shift from a requisition style talent strategy and adopt candidate-centric recruiting models.
Building a nd nurturing a talent community is one such candidate centric recruitment approach.
A talent community is an online community where recruiters engage with candidates, employers and their representatives. It allows the members of the community to freely exchange ideas and information pertaining to a wide range of topics from career advice to feedback on employment opportunities through different social media networks.
It works as a talent pipeline for the HR managers through which it is possible to find great candidates for open positions. It also provides an opportunity for the members of the community to discuss their ideas about professional development, share interesting contents and opportunities on the horizon, etc.
“You’re not looking just for the gold medalist for a specific position; you’re building talent communities and pipelines and finding ways to place those silver medalists, too. If you get too refined in your selection process, you might not be fast enough to win the gold or silver candidate, or even the bronze.”
Kurt Heikkinen, CEO of Montage
