What is a Talent Pipeline? | Proactive Talent Strategies

What are the benefits of Talent Pipelining

Faster time to hire

We proactively search for candidates before you need them. This means that they already understand your business and are warm to your business, so you can onboard them quickly when the role is available.

Improved candidate experience

Shortening the hiring time improves the candidate experience, providing them with a better experience of your business and increasing the likelihood of an accepted offer and a positive employee experience.

Lower costs

Investing time in advance builds strong relationships with candidates, ensuring your future employees are a strong fit for your business. This reduces employee turnover and improves retention rates, reducing the need for multiple recruitment rounds. Best of all, when you work with us, you won’t get stung by placement fees.

Succession planning

Planning for the retirement of your senior team is essential for business continuity, as is preparing for the departure of individuals who are a flight risk. Talent pipelining lets you understand the market and who would be ideal replacements when the time comes. Our service also ensures confidentiality, so you can be sure your brand name is protected.

This allows you to be ready, reducing your time to hire. And with our service, because we don’t charge placement fees or costs as a percentage of the salary package, you’ll save money too.

New skillsets needed

The workplace is changing rapidly. Technological growth means that the skills businesses need to remain relevant are also evolving. We can help you understand what’s happening in the marketplace, the roles and skills within your competitors’ businesses and which roles you might need in the future.

Once we know this, we’ll work with you to agree on your recruitment needs and reach out to find that talent.

Competitive marketplace

If you find roles hard to hire, either because of the role type or location, pipelining helps you prepare. It allows you to begin conversations with your ideal candidates in advance, ensuring they’re warm to an approach when the role is open.

You’ll also know more about the marketplace and the challenges so you can adapt the role, package and benefits to attract the right talent to your business.
