- Customers build Talent Pools across candidates and employees to organize and manage critical talent needs.
- Recruiters and Hiring Managers can search these Talent Pools as a more targeted method of candidate sourcing.
- Recruiters create talent pools for prospective candidates through career fairs, online marketing, or other recruiting campaigns.
- Customers can send customized communication to candidate groups. For example, if a participating student indicates they will be graduating this year, send them an invitation to apply to current open positions. If they will be returning to school next year, send them information about internships.
