Conversation
Facebook and Twitter are the new cafes. Your talent pool and employees are talking about you, in public.
Listen to them, reach out to them, engage them in a conversation and help them spread the word. Evangelize yourself.

Collaboration
People work together best when they connect with each other as people. Processes work best when they help people perform their work in the flow.
Create shared workspaces with rich profiles to connect employees and partners, help them share their expertise and work together in flow.

Community
It’s magical when people form communities around a shared social object: a lifestyle, cause or passion.
Create and nurture a community platform to host your talent pool, employees, and evangelists.

Collective Intelligence
Customers, employees and partners can give you new ideas. You can gain more insights by observing their behavior.
Tap into their ideas and build on them through an ideation platform. Or, introduce a reputation system to resurrect an existing community.

There is not “One” talent pool
People with talent you want to hire
People who want to work with you
Your employees

The Big Question
How do we engage the different talent pools with the organization?
Different people have different needs – incentivise them to engage with you and each other – and start a conversation

Define your Community’s Social Object
Create digital programs around on brand, organization or hiring needs.
Create and nurture talent communities around a bigger social object, that ties in to life aspirations: a vocation, cause or passion.

Follow the Ladder of Engagement

Talent Communities Are Social
It needs time and social engagement from the organization to build
Find your most passionate and communicative employees and mentor them to become Talent Community Managers.

What Engagement Looks Like
Community Blogs
Wiki Enabled Resources
Support Forum
Reputation System
Tactical Programs
Organization

Remember
The goal of the organization would be to engage the talent pool on a community centred around their passions (social object)
Owning that platform makes an organization the custodian and steward of the social object
Conversations are the engine of engagement – the organization needs to constantly participate with the talent community.
Sometimes there may already be a talent community around at a different place. Can you engage with them there?

As you engage – keep listening at other places too
After you listen – take action
This is social Talent Relation Management

Conversations are Distributed
Across different forums, social networks, platforms
Use listening tools to figure out what current and prospective employees are saying about your culture, nature and type of work, and other competitors for your talent.
