People Intelligence

A talent network differs from a talent community in its relationship depth. Community members opted in and receive periodic content. Network members are specific individuals the recruiting team has evaluated, engaged personally, and maintained a direct relationship with over time. The talent network is the highest-quality element of any pipeline because it contains people who have been assessed as strong candidates and with whom the organization has an established, warm relationship. Maintaining a network requires intentional recruiter discipline: periodic personal check-ins, relevant content sharing specific to the individual's career interests, and prompt re-engagement when relevant roles open before the window of interest passes.
