Today we're focusing on passive candidates. Can anyone describe what a passive candidate is?
Are they like people who aren't currently looking for jobs?
Exactly, passive candidates are individuals who are not actively searching for employment but may be open to new opportunities. Why do you think engaging them is valuable?
I guess they might have unique skills that aren't in the current job market.
Right again! They often bring specialized expertise to the table. A good memory aid to remember why we engage passive candidates is 'PPM' - Proactive, Persuasive, and Market Savvy. This helps you recall the approach needed when reaching out to them.
So, how do we actually reach out to them?
Great question! We'll explore proactive outreach through channels like LinkedIn next. Let's summarize: Passive candidates are crucial because they add unique skills, and you should be proactive, persuasive, and market-savvy when approaching them.
Now that we understand what passive candidates are, let's discuss strategies to maintain relationships with them. One key method is through professional branding. Who can tell me how branding plays a role?
Maybe it helps in attracting them by showing the company culture?
Absolutely! A strong employer brand showcases your organization’s culture and values, making it attractive to these candidates. An easy way to remember this is to think of 'CUE' - Culture, Uniqueness, and Engagement. These are critical in employer branding.
What about communication? How do we keep them engaged?
Excellent point! Regular communication can be through sharing industry insights or company news to keep them informed. Remember: CUE - Culture, Uniqueness, Engagement!
To summarize this session: Maintaining relationships through strong branding is essential, focusing on culture, uniqueness, and engagement.
Next, let's shift our attention to alumni networks. Can anyone explain the potential benefits of engaging with an alumni network?
They already know the company, right? So, they might fit in better.
Spot on! Engaging alumni can help tap into a talent pool that is already familiar with the company's culture. You may think of 'FADE' - Familiarity, Access, Development, and Engagement to remember the benefits of alumni networks.
How do we reconnect with these alumni?
Excellent question! Organizing events or career development sessions is a great way. Additionally, collaboration with universities can deepen these connections. Remember 'FADE' as we discussed: Familiarity, Access, Development, Engagement.
To recap this session: Engaging alumni leverages their familiarity with the company, and we can reconnect through events and collaboration with universities.
Important for expanding the talent pool as they often possess unique skills.
Strategies include proactive outreach, relationship management, and effective employer branding.
They offer familiarity with the organization and can be rekindled through events.
To reach the passive soul, branding is the goal!
Imagine a cozy café where former employees meet to share stories. They reminisce on their time there and share opportunities – that's an alumni network in action!
Remember 'KEY' for passive candidates: Know, Engage, Yield.
Use 'FADE' for alumni benefits: Familiarity, Access, Development, Engagement.
