Light bulb moment! Keeping a candidate pool.

June 19, 2008

At the moment, recruitment is a high proportion of my job, and finding suitable candidates for lots of different roles at once is quite a challenge. I’ve just read about a great scheme that Nestle have used to enable a faster recruitment process and save money at the same time, and it might be something that I will look into in the near future. The Head of Recruitment for the global food company created an area on the company website that potential candidates could register interest for a variety of roles, some of which were not yet available, and then suitable candidates were kept ‘warm’, for as long as a year in some cases, until the roles became vacant. This led to Nestle saving £50,000 that they would have spent on agency fees. This scheme sounds like a great idea to me, and could certainly work in many organisations, although for smaller companies in industries that are less well known it may be that getting the candidates to the website in the first place is the difficulty, and this is why many companies end up using recruitment agencies to source people who are perfect for the role but have never heard of the company.
