Talent Communities are quickly becoming the “talent-community” solution for staffing that “e-commerce” is for retail businesses. Recruiters can reap the benefits of high-powered talent communities similar to what the Amazons of the world have been doing for years. If you think about the Amazon business model, you know that they are masterful at attracting potential customers, learning their preferences and then only promoting the items that are most important to them. With Authoria private talent communities, the same model can be used to attract potential candidates with your website, understand their interests through profiles and then continuously market your company and positions based on their interests, allowing you to source ahead of demand.

Simply put, a private talent community (PTC) is a group of individuals who share an interest in working for your company, whether external candidates, alumnae or internal employees. Authoria’s implementation of the private talent community focuses on building relationships in an interactive fashion with all potential candidates based upon their desired career interests. PTCs include individuals who have applied for a job, but more importantly, they also capture people who are simply visiting your company’s website for other reasons.

Those people may be casual surfers from your company’s competitors or others with an interest in your industry and/or products. Providing the best competitive advantage in the marketplace, a PTC is companyowned and branded.

Through segmentation of your PTC, you have the ability to communicate your careers and jobs to all candidates. You can even build a secure private talent community made up of your own employees. As you build a private talent community of value, you can continually measure the community make-up. Referred to as a “reach test”, the process measures how well you are prepared for upcoming hiring trends. You have visibility into your existing employee skill-sets and interests as well as prospective candidates for faster and smarter deployment and hiring globally. With Authoria, you take a proactive approach to your staffing and recruiting strategy to source quality candidates ahead of demand, understand each candidate’s interests and skills, and automatically match the right candidate to the right job.
