A Hackett Group study revealed that companies who use talent pools for their recruitment processes have a 15% higher turnover than their competitors.
The benefits of a talent pool
Reduce the recruitment process
By maintaining a talent pool, companies can reduce recruitment costs by speeding up the selection process and minimizing vacancy periods. Building up a talent pool provides a pool of candidates to respond rapidly to staffing needs, thereby lowering the cost of candidate acquisition. This approach enables us to work more efficiently, avoiding the need to start the process from scratch each time a new need arises.
Improving the candidate experience
A well-managed talent pool creates a positive experience by maintaining ongoing communication with candidates, strengthening relationships and informing them of future opportunities. This distinctive approach builds trust, fosters candidate engagement and loyalty, and strengthens the employer brand through positive reviews. It also sends a positive message to unsuccessful candidates, contributing to an overall positive candidate experience.
Improving the quality of candidates
By focusing on finding the most qualified candidates, a talent pool not only improves the quality of recruitment, but also helps you better understand candidates' skills and profiles. This will help you make hires that match your team's needs, making the recruitment process more efficient and focused on your specific requirements.
