Today’s recruiting tip is one that’s been around for ages! Still, it never hurts to revisit the basics.

When it comes to fulfilling different roles for our customers, it’s always easier when we know who’d be a good fit and would also be interested. TalentLyft refers to this methodology as maintaining a ‘talent pool.’ In this instance, the talent pool simply refers to “a place or database where recruiters and HR managers keep all of their top job candidates.”

The idea is definitely simple but also extremely effective. No matter how you’re introduced to the candidates, be they direct applicants, or outwardly sourced, having a directory with people in mind makes it much faster and far easier to match candidates with jobs that interest them and benefit the end client.
