Talent Networks (sometimes called talent communities) are pipelines of warm job seekers or potential hires interested in your company but perhaps not ready to apply. They help you create and manage groups of potential hires and further enhance your proactive sourcing strategies and recruitment events (like careers fairs)!
Talent Networks enables you, the recruiter, to create any number of new or external talent pools for different areas of work, your organisation, or your next recruitment event or fair.
Attract, engage and inform potential hires with a landing page creator that includes the ability to create rich media pages that inform, engage, excite and entice people to join your Talent Network. Spread the word by adding landing page links in marketing material, your website or within your careers website as a call to action. You can even copy a direct application link from within Talent Networks.
Easily capture, manage and organise talent. Talent Networks allows you to create fully flexible forms for job seekers to complete (including their CV), ensuring that you’re only asking for relevant information about them. Joining a Network for a careers event takes no time either, making it a breeze to capture attendees’ details.
We’ve also made it simple to organise people within your talent pools and network according to business area, location, salary, availability and other options as needed. With flexible, dynamic search and filtering tools, you can find and organise talent in minutes alongside a notes feature that gives you access to alerts and user notes too.
Communicate and engage using our built-in email and text messaging tools. Stay in touch with your Talent Network quickly or effortlessly assign star candidates to live vacancies.
Smart Search & Match is proven to deliver big savings on advertising and agency spending and improves your proactive hiring programme. It’s a feature that compliments our Talent Network and provides a unique searching facility which transforms the way you find, identify, and hire skilled candidates not just in our applicant tracking system, but across LinkedIn too.
Within our ATS platform, Smart Search & Match will match candidates to your jobs as you create them, helping you get a head start on your recruitment. Rather than simply searching for keywords in CVs, Smart Search uses the meanings of words and related terms and phrases, which is far more accurate.
When a new job is created, our ATS system will automatically run a search (using the job’s details and advert copy) against your database of jobseekers and display those with the skills that match your job – this same search can also be run to search for potential candidates on LinkedIn too.
If Smart Search reveals candidate matches, then they can be assigned to open vacancies or be added to a Talent Pool of skilled candidates ready for hiring.
Smart Searches can also be saved as active projects which match every new applicant against your needs, so you can be sure not to miss out on new talent as they apply, even if it’s speculatively or for another vacancy.
This can all be achieved before you even need to think about paying for advertising or using a recruitment agency.
