Talent pooling training

Candidates ready before the client calls.

An agency that starts from scratch on every request loses to the one that already has candidates lined up. This training teaches your recruiters to build a warm pipeline and deliver within days.

30 minutes, no strings attached · you talk directly to the trainer

Watch as a participant: this is the introduction your recruiters see when they start the training. You'll see what it covers, which parts are included and what it delivers.

Do you recognise this in your team?

Then this training pays off straight away.

  • Every new request means starting the search all over again
  • The database is full of CVs, but nobody knows who is still available
  • Strong runners-up are never heard from again
  • Clients keep asking for the same profile, yet delivery still takes weeks

What the Talent pooling training delivers for your agency

More placements

More placements on scarce profiles

For each in-demand profile, your recruiters keep a group of already screened candidates warm. So you fill requests even where the market is tight.

Faster placements

Deliver in days, not weeks

When the request comes in, the first candidates are already lined up. No cold start, just immediate shortlists.

Higher margin

Reliable delivery, stronger fees

An agency that reliably delivers the profiles clients struggle to find negotiates from strength. You see it in fees and rates.

More client loyalty

The next request comes to you

Delivering the right candidate quickly, time after time, makes you the go-to partner. The client calls you first.

One Team Track training pays for itself with a third of one permanent placement, less than one extra temp or a sixth of one secondment. See the calculation →

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 assignments and clients: in a workshop with the team, or in a personal coaching session.

01 Filling the talent poolGather candidates for the profile clients keep asking for

What your recruiters learn

  • Choose which profile is worth a talent pool: high client demand, scarce candidates
  • Define the pool clearly by education, experience and location
  • Bring in candidates from seven sources, from active search and referrals to events and open registration
  • Make fresh use of candidates who were narrowly rejected or previously placed
  • 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 agency already has.

02 Only placeable 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 recruitment system so they can be found the moment a request comes in
  • Handle candidate consent properly, so the pool complies with data protection rules (GDPR)

The result

A pool in which every candidate is placeable 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, 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 agency, and say yes as soon as the right assignment comes along.

04 Placing from the poolFrom warm pipeline to signed placements

What your recruiters learn

  • Decide each week which candidates are ready to put forward
  • Market those candidates in three ways: on open assignments, proactively to existing and new clients, and through online visibility
  • Sort out paperwork that can hold up a placement, such as diplomas and certificates, in advance
  • Agree who in the team does what, and measure how many placements come from the pool

The result

A pool that demonstrably produces placements, including with clients who hadn't yet placed a request.

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 assignments and clients
  • Knowledge stays in the team, even when someone leaves
Discuss a Team Track
Personal Track

Help one recruiter move forward

Online learning at their own pace plus two hours of personal coaching on their own practice. Fully online.

A good fit if

  • A new recruiter needs to become productive quickly
  • One recruiter has a specific development need
  • Recruiters in your team differ a lot in level
