Candidate Relationship Marketing (CRM)

What is Candidate Relationship Marketing (CRM)?

Candidate relationship marketing is a recruitment strategy that applies marketing principles to attract, engage, and nurture potential candidates before they apply for a role. CRM in recruitment involves building talent pipelines, maintaining ongoing communication with passive candidates, and creating targeted content that promotes the employer brand. CRM platforms help recruiters segment candidate pools, automate personalised outreach, and track engagement over time. By cultivating relationships with prospective talent, organisations can reduce time-to-hire and improve the quality of their applicant pool.
