DESCRIPTION
There are a lot of misconceptions about talent databases, networks, pools and communities in the world of work today. What truly differentiates them all? Talent databases are nothing new, but one-way job broadcasts do not a community make. In this session, I will faciliate a discussion around true talent community best practices that include developing a community strategy, creating a community structure, choosing a site and/or platform, defining a community management model, and then developing and executing a content marketing strategy to keep the community engaged ongoing beyond basic employment brand info and job postings.TRANSCRIPT

What is a successful talent community?
@RecruiterMoe: Not sure I agree. Talent communities are self-generating, found in the wild by recruiters. We can ruin them w/ tampering.
@KevinWGrossman: You can, but talent communities can also be generated and maintained by orgs. If the goal is ongoing development, not jobs.
@RecruiterMoe Concur, just think stocked ponds have uses, but they’re so, so limited. Only a small slice will enter and participate.
@KevinWGrossman: Agreed. When you're looking for those needles in haystacks, then the small slice will enter and participate.
@RecruiterMoe: Good point
@KevinWGrossman: No, thank you for keeping me honest, my friend. We’re in an interesting talent acquisition and management transition today.
Why, just the other day…
