Did Someone Say “Spring Training”?
I know the first thing that popped into your mind was the excitement of baseball, the anticipation of the new season and the smell of ballpark snacks. What about “Spring Training” for your talent acquisition team?
Today’s media platforms are ever-changing and improving their tools to assist your recruitment teams in “catching” the most QUALIFIED applicants. Just like choosing a great ball team, you only want the “best of the best” to come to the tryouts or be screened for the application process.
We at KRT think that setting up trainings for your team is essential for a great recruiting season!

The Weather is Getting Colder…Keep those Potential Candidates WARM!
Ahhh, the age-old question, which are better recruits….active or passive candidates? Sourcing for passive candidates puts the recruiter in the driver’s seat. What’s the best way to find the strongest passive candidates, you ask? That is a great question with a very simple answer – compile and then source from your own talent pool of WARM CANDIDATES. A warm candidate is, at the very least, aware of your company’s employment brand. If you are lucky, you have captured potential warm candidates in an environment in which, you can communicate with them on a regular basis.
Keeping your talent pool warm is a little like dating. Your talent pool is your “little black book”, but, just because a person is in the little black book, it is not a guarantee that they will remember you. To keep candidates warm, you must stay in contact with them. Drop them a line every once in a while, show them the best of your employment brand, and keep them up on to date on what your organization is up to. Not all “first dates” turn into life-long relationships and instead, they take time to nurture and nudge along.

It’s Summer Time…Is YOUR POOL Ready?
Ahhhh,…..Summer, a time where many people enjoy the benefits of having a pool. What? YOU don’t have a pool, well the time is NOW to get yours up and running. I am talking about your Candidate POOL of course.
The recruiting industry’s abuzz with social recruiting, but what about Talent Pools? A talent pool is exactly like it sounds… it is a puddle of job seekers and potential candidates who are eager, interested, and open to hear about your company’s job openings and career opportunities. When brought together in your organization’s online community, you have yourself a talent pool in which to engage, inform and court potential candidates.
