rationally involved, motivated & committed to
work for or to be connected to your company

Today: Careers become like a journey
It is estimated that today employees change jobs 20 or more times & will change career fields at least 7 times during their work life.
• Career paths less linear
• Careers less organizational, more employers
• Future employability less certain
• End of job, exit = new phase in relationship
• “Returning” to previous employers becoming “normal”
being employed several times, but non sequentially

Modern Career Paradigm
Main Challenges

Having Talent Dialogues
a continuous interactive (online) process

TRM: Talent Pool / Community
Developing & managing a network of talents
- with specific qualities to meet or surpass customer demands
- committed / open to help you and/or to work for you
- ensuring direct & easy access to these talents for on demand
talent supply

o is likely a network a pipeline of potential
talent not yet applicants, but very well could be someday
o an interactive group of people joined
together by a common interest or affinity
o all members can have a conversation (listen & share) with
another members

TRM: Talent Pool / Network
4 different types of communities
o Talent networks
o Company-branded communities
o Profession-based communities (of practice)
o Hybrid communities (branded & profession-
based)

Next generation talent communities
are about UNITING all of the existing fragmented
populations and conversations around an organization
Produce a more holistic visibility into the talent
ecosystem, in the overall talent pipeline ….

Talent Pool / Community
Top Talent Pipeline of Connected Talents
Engaged for a life time talent relationship

Talent Pool Tools
To make your community easy accessible for
users & easy to give and exchange information
Make /use a relationship platform that supports both sides of the relationship

…...the world is becoming too fast,
too complex & too networked for any
company to have all the answers
inside …. (Yochai Benkler)
Expanding your options to meet or surpass
customer demands

Not all smart people in
the world are working
for you
You need to keep looking outside
Bill Joy, founder, Sun Microsystems
Remember !

….. We have lot of smart people at SAP, but
we don’t have all of the smart people
We want to hear insights from others, especially from our customers and partners. Maybe a
manufacturer in Mexico can help a chemical company in India apply some operational best
practices or use their SAP software in a different way………..

Tapping the "wisdom of the crowd"
Answering customer demands is no
longer confined within company walls!

Almost all smart people
around the world could
work WITH you
share expertise & experience
co-create, co-produce
advise
We now have global platforms for free collaboration
(Don Tapscott)
Not all smart people work for you

Internal
External
inside & outside the organization
the borders are blurring between these two
check your workforce paradigm
Inside
Outside

TRM holistic agile workforce model
HR Human Relations based
Combining a core group of permanent employees
with a contingent workforce of connected talents
• temporary employees
• independent contractors
• consultants
• alumni
• all other identified stakeholders that could support you to meet
& surpass your customer demands
It helps to manage more closely workload volumes, labor costs, diversity ambitions and on demand sourcing of key resources!

Timely sourcing of scarce/strategic resources
• Vacancies, a screened candidate pipeline
• Tapping expertise, specific know how
• Tapping experience, operational context
• Access to people “Politically” need to know for network
• Temporary, ad hoc work arrangements
• Specific tasks of limited duration
• Flexibility & diversity needs
• Sharing resources, co-creation, co-production
• Inplacement, outplacement ………

Talent pools & communities are a new
breed of infrastructure designed to
support the real organization!
Talent pools holistically will be:
o sourcing or recruiting solutions
o communications or marketing solutions
o training or workforce development solutions
o collaboration or productivity enhancement solutions

Beware of the talent pool becoming
NOT just a database of resumes!!
Communication should be taking place from:
o recruiter-to-candidate
o candidate-to-recruiter
o candidate-to-candidate!

Talent Relation Management
is done together & requires direction
to optimize ROI

TRM not a “shortcut” route
• Building a talent pool / community / network
takes time & effort
• Challenge: making them organic & self-
sustaining
• Members driving the dialogue about what the company
does and how it does it and why it could be a great place to work
• The shared content drives affinity, loyalty and ultimately, increased
applications and referrals
• Gives recruiters visibility into that most nebulous — but most important —
consideration of all: organizational / cultural fit

TRM some (HR) implications
• A focus on top performers
• Mindset = employees don’t intend to stay but like to work for you
• Work out a succession plan, including possible rehire options
• Engage and challenge your top performers to keep them as long as you can
• Conduct off-boarding interviews
• Have an employer branding & engagement team in place
• Keep in touch using an alumni program, or social media community program
• Use workshops & offer training to top alumni to engage them
• Have a boomerang rehire program in place
• Plan for some returning for contingent work
• Don’t forget your retired talent for post-retirement work

With TRM recruiters add value
by structurally improving companies
- agility
- people assets portfolio
- competitive talent advantage
- innovation & problem solving capabilities
by offering opportunities to talents
- to build agile sustainable work relationships
- to work & to earn a living

Always remember
It’s is about People & Trust!
