Clients

Events at universities, fairs or special “Recruitment Days” are a popular recruiting tool within consulting firms. With the career module, you will be able to find out the relevant process for this particular kind of candidate advertising.

Online invitation to events
Events can be published on the company website in the same way as job advertisements or alternatively on a brand new micro site.

Online application to events
Candidates can apply via an online application form on events. Basic data of the candidate will be recorded into the database.

Invitation of candidates from talent pool to closed events
Similarly, talent pool candidates can be invited to closed events, allowing a participation rate tracking.

Reporting
taloom generates evaluations through the central control of recruiting event allowing for example feedbacks about the quality of the event.

The talent pool is the basis for an effective Talent Relationship Management (TRM). There are various scenarios to fill in the pool in order to implement subsequently the (fast) recruitment process. The true potential of TRM lies in the automation: you will communicate to the different target groups appropriately; according to the situations and candidates profiles.

Complete data
For future TRM actions, the talent pool should include candidates’ information that mostly differs from the data required during the application. Defining data structure for the talent pool and store there candidates’ information become therefore profitable workflows.

Automatic update of the talent pool
To stay up-to-date and to keep the relevance of the profiles in the talent pool, candidates should be regularly contacted by e-mail and asked about their data actualization. Depending on the answer of the candidate, you can execute the “Follow-up” action.

Situational speech 

If a candidate comes to a new phase of his life, this is probably the best time to submit him an adapted job offer. You can define an appropriate action using tags such as “Master degree” in the talent pool. In this case, you can link this “Master degree” category to the action “E-mail to the landing page for Master graduates”. Thus all candidates who have reached their degrees will have access to a specific information page on the career area of your company website.

Reporting
All TRM measures and results should be visible on an appropriate report. Thus, you can easily evaluate if your company hire a new applicant through TRM or simply define the life circle of a candidate directly in the talent pool.

Mostly consulting partners do not stay for a long time in a company. Therefore it is important to make their involvement in the recruitment process as easy as possible.

E-mail 

Shortlisted candidates profiles can be sent to the appropriate partner by e-mail. The partner can then transfer his feedback in the same way by e-mail or on a special ratings page. In any case the answer of the partner is automatically led back to the eRecruiting system.

Mobile
Since partners have to move often enough, the connection to equipment such as BlackBerry or iPhone is the best opportunity to get quick feedbacks.
