Cost-Efficient Planning for Future Recruitment Needs

Talent Pipelining & Succession Planning

A talent pipeline creates a selection of pre-qualified, engaged and available talent for a future requirement, and allows you to pre-plan whilst retaining flexibility over time frames.

We create a bespoke and engaged candidate longlist that enables you to future-proof your human capital, managing risk around recruitment and driving diversity. We maintain engagement with potential candidates over a specified period of time, which enables us to track changes in interest, motivations and availability.

In addition to building a viable and receptive talent pool, the process is also valuable from a PR and market insight perspective. Our sustained contact with individuals within the pipeline enables us to address any potential issues around brand perception challenges or misconceptions in the market.

A typical talent pipeline can last two to six months but can be conducted over a much longer time frame.

  • We conduct comprehensive market mapping and candidate engagement – using the engagement process to qualify candidates against set criteria, benchmark candidates within the talent pool and build and maintain ongoing relationships with key candidates over time.
  • The ongoing relationship between researcher and candidate is designed to identify top talent and to keep them engaged over a period of time – to educate that talent pool about the positive developments within your organisation, understand what factors come into play in terms of their career moves, and how if necessary these can be overcome. When you need to hire, you have a pool of engaged and qualified candidates to reach out to.
  • You are kept updated at all points in the process and have complete oversight and control over the message to market about your organisation and your strategic vision.

When To Use Talent Pipelining?

Business Continuity: When you need to future-proof your organisation from unexpected and critical talent departures.

Succession Planning: Talent Pipelining enables you to preplan for an identified future recruitment need, maintaining flexibility over timeframes.

Cost Savings for Multiple Hires: You own all IP generated from the process and can hire multiple candidates from the same talent pool without additional costs.

Market Perception: Talent pipelining allows you to get an independent view of your reputation in the market and where necessary enables you to influence perceptions.
