What is an applicant pool?
An applicant pool is the collection of all job applicants who have applied for a position or have been added to a company’s talent database. It is a valuable resource for recruiters, enabling them to quickly find suitable candidates for current and future job openings.
1. Building a strong talent pool:
Companies gather résumés and applications from past candidates, even if they weren’t hired, to reach out to them for future opportunities.
2. Segmenting and managing candidates:
By categorizing the applicant pool based on skills, experience, and job preferences, recruiters can quickly identify the best candidates.
3. Maintaining active relationships:
Recruiters can stay in touch with candidates through newsletters, job alerts, or personal updates to keep them engaged for future job openings.
