Pipelining 101: How to Build a Talent Pipeline for Smarter, Faster Hiring [Infographic]

Have you ever had a candidate who came close to landing a position with your company, but narrowly missed out to your eventual hire? Likely, that “runner-up” moved on, found another job, and never again crossed your mind.

But what if you had stayed in touch with your silver-medalist and held onto their resume until another position opened? You may have been able to hire top talent faster than if you had started from square one. This is a great example of how to build a talent pipeline – a proven, proactive hiring strategy.

So, what is a talent pipeline? In simple terms, it’s a talent pool of engaged candidates who are ready, willing, and able to fill your positions. Instead of actively recruiting new applicants once you have an open position, you can tap into that pool first to fill the role quickly.
