Qu'est-ce que Talent pool ?

A database of pre-identified potential candidates that a company maintains contact with for future hiring needs.

Definition

A talent pool is a reserve of identified and qualified profiles that the company keeps in contact with for future needs. It may include past applicants, sourced profiles or internal referrals via employee referral.

In practice

The pool is built through active sourcing, unsolicited applications and talent nurturing. Profiles are regularly re-engaged with relevant content to maintain their interest. When a position opens, the recruiter taps into this pool before publishing a job ad.

Key takeaway

A well-maintained talent pool reduces time-to-hire and improves hire quality because candidates are already pre-qualified.
