Candidate Management

Build Stronger Talent Pipelines with Recruitment CRM

The first thing you want to do when hiring for a position is not start from scratch. Oftentimes, recruiters will discover some amazing candidates but may not find the right job fit for them at that time. Often these opportunities go unseen until another opportunity arises, but many times great candidates are lost in the process of not being organized, because while we have great candidates to consider as future hires, they get lost in the shuffle.

The Tek Lense Talent CRM can assist your recruiting team in developing and maintaining long-term candidate relationships through a centralized candidate relationship management platform. With both organized candidate profiles, engagement tracking and structured talent pools, Tek Lense allows recruiters to develop stronger talent pipelines and speed up their future hiring processes.

The Challenge of One-Time Hiring

Many times, recruiting teams focus on just filling the immediate job vacancy at hand. Once the position is filled, conversations may end with those same candidates. Therefore, even if the recruiter continues to find outstanding candidates, they do not have the opportunity to connect with them for any future hires.

This creates a lot of issues for the hiring teams, such as:

Recruiters will have new starts for every hire they need to make.
Candidate connections will be lost once a candidate has been hired.
Hiring managers will end up with candidate information that is scattered throughout spreadsheets and communication methods.
Organizations will lose the opportunity to build and maintain talent communities over time.

Without a specific recruitment CRM, it can be very difficult to keep in contact with candidates and find ways to cultivate a long-term talent pipeline for your organization.

Build and Maintain Talent Pools

A strong recruiting strategy is based on having a well-organized pipeline of talent. TekLens allows recruiters to develop and maintain their talent pools in a structured manner based on role, skill, industry or hiring need.

By having a candidate profile created and organized into the respective talent communities based on any of the criteria above, a recruitment team can quickly find appropriate candidates as soon as there is a new position to fill. There is no need to start all over in having to find candidates because the recruitment team can revisit previously engaged candidates who meet the requirements of the role.

This ability to quickly find and identify good candidates can help organizations significantly reduce their time to hire, as well as improve the strength of their candidate networks.

What Is Talent CRM?

Talent CRM, also known as candidate relationship management software, helps recruitment teams build long-term relationships with potential candidates. Instead of focusing only on immediate hiring needs, a CRM platform allows recruiters to organize candidate networks, track interactions, and maintain engagement with both active and passive talent.
