Talent Pipelining
About Talent Pipelining
Talent Pipelining involves our team proactively identifying, engaging, and screening potential candidates. By leveraging AI-driven matching algorithms, extensive networks, professional group connections, and referrals, we create talent pools of interested and screened individuals.
Combining AI sourcing with traditional executive recruiting methods, we present diverse talent pools with the desired skills and backgrounds for your boards and committees.
What is the Pipelining Process?
Once we begin building a talent pipeline based on your required skill sets, we provide weekly progress updates, including the number of candidates approached, spoken to, and declined, along with reasons and DEI statistics.
We recommend starting informal conversations with potential candidates immediately to maintain momentum and interest. These conversations allow both parties to learn more about each other before moving to a structured interview process.
Relationship-led v Transactional
Individuals want to understand your organisation’s mission, values and stance on core topics BEFORE they will engage with you. They want to know WHY they should dedicate their time to you.
Hoping candidates see your job posting and apply, in the modern era, is wishful thinking. A simple online search will quickly show you just how many mission-driven organisations are looking to develop their boards – it is a busy market.
Meristep helps to TELL YOUR STORY and SHARE YOUR MISSION.
FAQs Talent Pipelining
Talent Pipelining vs. Traditional Executive Search
The difference is subtle but impactful. Traditional executive search targets individuals who meet the role description and are available immediately, making the process transactional. If a candidate can’t commit at that time, the opportunity is lost.
Talent Pipelining focuses on building long-term relationships, supporting both immediate and future recruitment needs. It includes candidates who have the desired skills but can’t commit immediately, setting expectations for their future availability. This approach increases diversity, particularly among female candidates with family commitments.
How will you sell our opportunity in the marketplace
Before starting a pipelining project, we set up a “Discovery Call” with you and your key stakeholders to understand your work and mission. We then proactively share your story in the market.
