Talent pooling training

Candidates ready before the vacancy opens.

  • Every new vacancy means starting the search all over again
  • The ATS is full of CVs, but nobody knows who is still available
  • Strong runners-up are never heard from again
  • The same roles keep coming back, yet it still takes weeks before there are candidates

What the Talent pooling training delivers for your team

Better quality of hire

Better hires for scarce profiles

For each in-demand profile, your recruiters keep a group of candidates warm who have already been interviewed and assessed. So you fill vacancies even where the market is tight, with candidates you already know.

Shorter time to hire

Shortlists in days, not weeks

When the vacancy opens, the first candidates are already lined up. No cold start, just immediate shortlists.

Satisfied hiring managers

A hiring manager who counts on your team

Putting forward the right candidate quickly, time after time, makes recruitment the hiring manager's go-to partner. They know: recruitment already has the people lined up.

Better candidate experience

Candidates who feel seen

Candidates in the pool get attention, information and honest contact, even when there's no suitable vacancy for a while. They notice, and they tell others.

Lower cost per hire

Lower cost per hire

Candidates who are already in view don't need to be recruited again. That saves advertising budget, search time and weeks in which the role stays empty.

Every vacancy filled faster and right first time saves money straight away: less lost productivity, less overtime in the team and less replacement hiring. About the investment →

What we cover

The content, tailored to your vacancies

Your recruiters follow the theory online, at their own pace. Then we translate it to your own vacancies and hiring managers: in a workshop with the team, or in a personal coaching session.

01 Filling the talent poolGather candidates for the roles that keep coming back

What your recruiters learn

  • Choose which profile is worth a talent pool: one the organisation keeps asking for and where candidates are scarce
  • Define the pool clearly by education, experience and location
  • Bring in candidates from seven sources, from active search and employee referrals to events and open applications
  • Make fresh use of candidates who were narrowly rejected or were hired before, and include internal candidates
  • Choose the sources that deliver most for each pool, within privacy rules

The result

A focused pool for a profile that is genuinely in demand, filled from sources your organisation already has.

02 Only suitable candidatesKeep the pool clean and reliable

What your recruiters learn

  • Screen candidates on hard requirements as well as motivation and personality before they join the pool
  • Check regularly whether candidates still fit and are still available
  • Record candidates in the ATS so they can be found the moment a new vacancy opens
  • Handle candidate consent properly, so the pool complies with data protection rules (GDPR)

The result

A pool in which every candidate is suitable and easy to find, instead of a full but unusable database.

03 Keeping candidates warmStay in touch so candidates remain available

What your recruiters learn

  • Set up a contact plan that keeps candidates engaged and available
  • Share content that gives candidates real value: information about the organisation, advice and personal attention, not just vacancies
  • Choose per candidate between one-to-one contact and messages to the whole group
  • Match how often to get in touch to how actively a candidate is looking
  • Automate smartly without making the relationship impersonal

The result

Candidates who know and trust your organisation, and say yes as soon as the right vacancy opens.

04 Hiring from the poolFrom warm pipeline to signed contracts

What your recruiters learn

  • Decide each week which candidates are ready to put forward
  • Use those candidates in three ways: for open vacancies, proactively with hiring managers who will soon need someone, and through online visibility
  • Sort out paperwork that can hold up a hire, such as diplomas and certificates, in advance
  • Agree who in the team does what, and measure how many hires come from the pool

The result

A pool that demonstrably produces hires, including for vacancies that hadn't officially opened yet.

Two ways

With the whole team, or per recruiter

Team Track

The whole team stronger, together

Intake, online learning and a tailor-made workshop with up to eight recruiters, at your office.

A good fit if

  • Your team has four or more recruiters
  • You want the whole team to work the same way
  • Recruiters learn from each other's real vacancies and hiring managers
  • Knowledge stays in the team, even when someone leaves

Personal Track
