Editor's Notes
If it takes 5-7 months to recruit top talent from first interaction – you need to be using media to warm up these pools far in advance
If it takes 5-8 months to recruit top talent from first interaction – you need to be using media to warm up these pools far in advance
The last thing these passive members are technically doing is looking for job. Engaging them through other activities is far more valuable in securing their interest and maintaining top of mind awareness. Like through content, employees profiles and networks.

The purpose of the Talent Drivers survey is to help clients craft their Employer Value Proposition (EVP) for their target audience – based on what will resonate with potential candidates
So, we ask members:
What’s important when they consider a job opportunity? (e.g. do they want good work/life balance? To work somewhere they would be proud of?)
Then we ask members to rate companies – that they DO NOT work for – on what their perception of the company as a place to work is (e.g. does Company XYZ offer good work/life balance? Is it a place they’d be proud to work?)
But what companies do theses members actually rate? That’s based on a unique algorithm that we’ve created at LinkedIn. We start with a list of 1000+ companies that we want members to rate and we match members with a unique list of 10 companies based on either 1) their member behavior (e.g. have they connected with any of companies, applied to any jobs?) or 2) their industry. Each member is shown a unique list of 10 companies that are most relevant and are asked about their general awareness these companies as a place to work in the survey. As long as members are at least a little aware of the company as a place to work, they will rate a company.
This is the same criteria you can use in Recruiter…..
Demand index – InMails being received by that talent pool. Supply = members in their region.
Competing for talent in other, non- core industries can be a competitive advantage in a saturated pool, yet awareness can often be a challenge. Media can fuel employer brand awareness in these industries, allowing companies a significant edge on their competitors for longer term talent needs.
The last thing these passive members are technically doing is looking for job. Engaging them through other activities is far more valuable in securing their interest and maintaining top of mind awareness. Like through content, employees profiles and networks.
