Talent Pooling

What is Talent Pooling?

Talent pooling is the practice of building and maintaining a database of qualified candidates who may be suitable for future job openings. Talent pools include previous applicants, silver-medal candidates, employee referrals, and professionals identified through sourcing efforts. By proactively nurturing relationships with pooled talent through regular communication and employer brand content, organisations can significantly reduce time-to-hire when vacancies arise. Effective talent pooling requires a systematic approach to categorisation, engagement, and data management within a candidate relationship management system.
