Every recruiter encounters this scenario; it seems there are literally no candidates in a market for a particular role. How can it be proven to the hiring team? What tools or systems could be used to show the availability of talent across the world?
Through an innovative approach to understanding talent pools and pipelines, we'll hear about how one organization, faced with the need to hire a high-volume of niche roles in small geographical markets, developed a talent map and focused on developing engagement conversations to secure the best talent. more »

Today's Candidate: A Review of Great Pipeline Practices
Webcast:"A happy candidate tells one person, an unhappy one tells ten." This expression held weight pre-social networking: imagine how many opportunities a job candidate has to express pleasure or displeasure with an employer's job selection process. That's why many organizations find it critical to listen to and engage potential employees.
The best examples of talent pipelining respect the voice of the candidate as well as the needs of the organization. In this webcast we'll review a few leading employers' pipeline practices as well as hear about candidate communication expectations. more »

Lessons from Your Marketing Team: Developing and Nurturing a Talent Pipeline
Webcast:Attracting, energizing and engaging any community - including a talent pool - is tough. Success requires daily dedication, the right messaging, an outlet for input, and a call-to-action. Talent acquisition professionals, already saddled with their networking and administrative responsibilities, rarely have the expertise to lead this function effectively.
This is where the best marketing teams, on the other hand, succeed. They have the knowledge to create a following and a demand for their service. The happy and committed marriage of marketing and recruiting will result the ability to develop an eager and devoted talent pipeline. more »
Talent Communities: Using Your Customer Database to Fuel Your Pipeline
Webcast:Is your organization getting enough love from candidates? Have you considered your customers as potential job candidates? In a recruiting world ever obsessed with the "passive" candidate, many organizations often overlook a great source of "passive- but interested" candidates- their own customers. It's an easy mistake to make- but could end up being a very costly one in an ever-shrinking world of connectivity, visibility and blurring lines.
It's also highly cost-effective: think of the dollars you are already spending on marketing your firm's products or services. Those efforts are not falling on deaf "recruiting" ears- in fact, it probably reaches a larger pool of potential candidates than your employment advertising does. We'll explore the concept of maximizing your customer database as part of your talent pipeline in this webcast. more »
Great Product, Real People: How Your Corporate Environment Can Build Your Talent Pool
Webcast:What is it like to work at your company? What do your candidates know about your organization? How can your organization leverage the unique culture you have created to build a strong and talent-quenching pipeline? How can your organization maximize your brand in the increasingly flexible world of customers, employees and job candidates?
At Liz Claiborne Inc., the tempo of the corporate environment is amusingly evident on their careers' page when they ask why people like working there: Is it the relaxed atmosphere, the amazing benefits or the subsidized turkey burgers?* (available only in the NJ location). In this webcast, we'll talk about what your talent pools know about your organization and how that knowledge can be leveraged into better hires. more »
Tomorrow's Workforce, Today's Talent Pipeline
Webcast:The Global Aging Initiative, established by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, tells us that "[t]he world stands on the threshold of a demographic revolution with few parallels in humanity's past. It's called global aging, and in the coming decades it will subject nations around the world to extraordinary economic, social, and political challenges." This international issue creates particular challenges for employers with swollen workforces: who will do the work of tomorrow?
Innovative organizations are thinking about the state of their talent pipelines in 10 or even 20 years by working actively to communicate with students still in grammar and high schools. By investing both time and resources in local educational partners and classroom presentations, these companies are actively working to create jobs and a more-educated workforce. more »
Metrics-Based Talent Pipelining: A Case Study from Eli Lilly
Webcast:Recruiting metrics are both critical and varied; they exist in every shape, size and flavor. Most enterprise-metrics fall short, however, of being correlated to each other through systems or interpretation. Undertaking a data integration project would be daunting for certain.
Eli Lilly, with over 40,000 employees around the globe, faced just such a challenge. But their recruiting and staffing leadership was determined, by assembling a top-notch team, to migrate and integrate their talent management metrics, and then move toward analyzing the results on a central scorecard.
We'll hear how they addressed the gathering and management of data, and how they are using the results to benchmark performance and to drive their talent pipelines. more »
Candidate Relationship Management: If You Build It, They Will Come
Webcast:Every recruiter has been in the position of having to tell their hiring manager that it appears as though there aren't enough quality prospects in the talent pool. But what is done to influence the flow favorably? Are there candidates that are overlooking because enough isn't known about them?
Candidate relationship management is based on the premise that knowing more about your talent pool will result in more great hires. Building an effective CRM relies on motivation, good technology and a little elbow grease. In this webcast we'll discuss the practices your team can incorporate to build bridges into your talent pipeline. more »
Keeping Candidates in Orbit: Active Communication Strategies for Passive Candidates
Webcast:Behold the passive candidate, the Holy Grail of Recruitment. Recruiters have learned to search every possible nook and cranny to mine these jewels- the internet, competitors, and referral networks. For a host of reasons- maybe they can't leave until they get their bonus in January, or the company doesn't have a good career match for them right now- they won't leave their jobs this month. So how in the heck are we supposed to keep them on our radar?
Ask most recruiters or recruiting leaders about this challenge and you will probably hear the same reply: we're already stretched working on current openings. How could we possibly increase our bandwidth to make room for retaining prospects for future openings? In creating a valuable talent pipeline, letting great candidate potential walk away will cost more than just the investment spent to identify the prospect. If we are to truly benefit from the sourcing effort, we must have a way to keep talent in the fold when the timing isn't right. This webcast will examine the ways that top companies are keeping those candidates in orbit. more »
Setting Up the Shot: How Workforce Planning Effects Talent Pipelining
Webcast:In life, as in billiards or recruiting, the winning play is often the outcome of careful planning and an advanced strategy, and is implemented many moves before the final shot sinks the eight-ball. Sure, there are times that luck supersedes tactics, but do you want to gamble with your company's success?
Acquisition strategies usually evolve separately from workforce planning. Bringing together these critical concepts will require answering some theoretical questions before getting into situational specifics. This webcast will investigate some of those questions, such as; what comes first, talent pipeline or workforce plan? Who "owns" the process? What kind of research, and how much, should be conducted in advance? What metrics should be used to keep on goal? more »
What Is a Talent Pipeline?
Webcast:The terms talent pipeline and talent pool are often used interchangeably and used to describe different things. The talent pool for many organizations refers to a succession-like plan that considers the competencies of individuals already on staff for new positions as they open up. The talent pipeline often refers to the overall collection of talent from all sources; internal, external, referral, alumni, contingent, etc.
For the purposes of the exciting new HCI learning track "Creating a Talent Pipeline", the focus is on external talent and how to turn them into potential candidates over the long haul. This webcast will launch the new track with a look at what we mean when we talk about talent pipelines and why every company should care about them. How is this supply of talent built? What kinds of care and feeding are necessary to make it a productive and predictable part of the hiring process? Who manages this activity and what kinds of technology are necessary to enable this work?
Join us as we explore the answers to these questions and many others to set the table for a year of proscribed change in the way you think about candidates and communicate with them. Hint - the strategies discussed may have much more in common with the way your organization sells products than the way it currently fills positions. more »
