11. WHAT IS LEAD NURTURING?
Lead nurturing is the process of building relationships with the talent pool. This
includes:
interested applicants
passive job seekers who are not yet ready to apply
candidates who are not (yet) qualified
talents who did not accept the job offer

14. How To Create A Candidate Persona?
A candidate persona is a concept borrowed from sales, marketing, and product
development, all of which have been using personas to some degree for many
years now.
In the case of talent acquisition, a persona is a fictitious representation of your
most typical candidate—who you're trying to recruit.

There are so many different types, formats or subjects of content you can share in a
nurture email, that it’s sometimes easy to get stuck and not know where to start. Use the
list below to get the creative juices flowing:
“Best workplace” or “Best employer” rankings and awards
CSR-related news from your company
Free tools that are relevant to the candidate’s field or a newsletter they might be
interested in following
Reports or ebooks developed by your company that are relevant to candidates’ field
Live stream of a talk with a company recruiter or hiring manager
Links to social pages that give a good inside view into your company culture
Videos of interview simulations
Questionnaires about candidates’ hobbies, travels, or anything that can help you learn
more about them that you can’t automatically scrape from their social profiles

VALUABLE – it means that the content we are creating content that can equip and enable your candidates in making the decision to join your company. We will discuss later.
RELEVANT – it means content has to be timely. It’s like news. A month old news may not be relevant to your readers anymore.
CONSISTENT – it means we don’t focus on launching a one time campaign with an end in mind. It has to be an always on campaign with continuous refinement.

Key points from the book Tipping Point that can be related to viral marketing.
A. “Connectors are people specialists. They connect people from all walks of life. They know a lot of people. They can easily make friends”.
B. “Mavens are information specialists. They are data banks”. They seek and find information. They are usually the ones who get to know the ‘message’ initially. They take the message to the connectors and salesmen. “Connectors are social glue, they spread it”.
C. “Salesmen are the persuaders”. They have the ability to convince people. Salesmen have the capability to ‘sell’ the idea.

Great nurture campaigns make a difference. They create space for a personalized, two-way relationship between recruiters and candidates; as a result, recruiting teams go from simple job advertising to real candidate engagement. They are able to access a larger pool of candidates and to turn passive prospects into applicants, and even ambassadors of their Employer Brand. In other words, the flowchart we started with is right: yes, you should always nurture candidates.
