SAN JOSE, Calif., March 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Brightmatter™, a division of DHI Group, Inc. (NYSE: DHX),
today unveiled getTalent, the most advanced strategic talent
sourcing management platform that helps HR teams proactively build
talent pipelines, engage candidate leads and hire qualified
candidates faster.
Most HR teams function like firefighters, scrambling to fill
current vacancies with qualified candidates. But, it's becoming
much harder to identify and attract qualified talent, particularly
for in-demand skillsets. A recent study by Aberdeen Group found
that 75 percent of the fully employed workforce consider themselves
"passive" candidates—employed, but open to employers' hiring
messages. When HR teams struggle to get these candidates active,
interested and engaged, the resulting unfilled jobs and increased
time-to-hire represent a major opportunity cost to businesses.
According to the DHI Hiring Indicators, DHI Group's proprietary set
of indices measuring average job vacancy duration and recruiting
intensity, the average time-to-fill open positions in the U.S.
reached record highs in 2015.
"Most HR executives are challenged by a lack of clear insight
into how quickly they can fill open positions, and little-to-no
visibility into what their candidate pipelines look like," said
Shravan Goli, president of
Brightmatter. "Their teams are scrambling to react to business
pressure to fill vacancies rather than proactively cultivating
candidate leads and building an engaged talent pool. getTalent
addresses those problems by ensuring HR teams have deep insights
into their talent pipelines and can nurture candidate leads
effectively to convert prospects into applicants and
interviews."
A Proven Approach to Lead Sourcing based on Marketing
Methodology
B2B Marketing teams rely on CRM and marketing automation
platforms for customer lead aggregation, scoring and nurturing, as
well as measuring funnel performance. getTalent takes a page from
the B2B marketing playbook, applying these same tested techniques
to talent lead cultivation and management. The end result enables
employers to move the most qualified candidates through the
recruitment funnel faster.
getTalent helps HR teams build robust candidate lead pipelines
and boost productivity through a toolset that integrates into the
sourcing workflow. getTalent:
- Pulls in resume profile data from any type of file, feed, site
or source
- Integrates with applicant tracking systems
- Adds new candidate leads while sourcing via a Chrome browser
extension and Outlook plug-in
- Scans and parses resumes via an iOS app designed for recruiting
events
- Allows candidates to upload their own profile data to join the
employers' talent pool
An industry first, getTalent's exclusive FreshUp™ process
leverages DHI's Open Web product, which scours over 150 publicly
available online data sources, to update candidate leads with the
most current and accurate data. FreshUp also updates old candidate
leads, making them new and actionable again.
Better Organization & Engagement for Better Hiring
Results
getTalent creates a single repository of all candidate leads,
which HR teams can then organize into distinct talent pools and
targeted talent pipelines. Users can create unlimited talent
pipelines for specific open job requirements or hiring initiatives.
Users can create pipelines for executive searches, specific
positions in various locales and diversity or veterans' hiring
programs, for example. Keeping talent pools of "warm candidates" is
critical to nurturing talent over time, and ensuring less cold
calls to prospects. Instead of relying exclusively on email, HR
teams can use getTalent's built-in multi-channel engagement options
to deliver the right messages to the right candidates over the most
effective channel. In addition to email, HR teams with recruitment
marketers can engage candidate leads using built-in integrations
with Eventbrite and Meetup, with SMS text, OS push notifications,
and social media integrations coming soon.
"We know email isn't always the best choice to successfully
connect with candidates, especially for millennials, who will make
up 75 percent of the workforce by 2025," said Evan Lesser, general manager of getTalent. "With
getTalent, you can use the best engagement channel to connect with
the right candidate leads. The end result is getting far greater
visibility into which marketing methods work best in order to
fine-tune your tactics."
Measure Performance for Continuous Improvement
In addition to clearly understanding pipeline health, growth,
and makeup, HR leaders gain insight into their team's performance,
seeing which recruiters and sourcers are contributing the most
candidates. getTalent tracks every candidate interaction across all
channels, including email, phone and social media. Using the
aggregated data, candidate leads are scored, just like marketing
leads, giving hiring teams a dashboard view of each candidate's
total engagement level with that company's brand.
