How Recruiters Can Create a Predictable Candidate Pipeline

Every organization has two critical pipelines that fuel the success of its business. The first, and probably most well known to the masses, is the sales pipeline, which is so crucial for driving revenue and maintaining a steady flow of the company’s products and services into the market. But an equally valuable pipeline is finally being hailed by executive teams for its strategic importance – it’s the recruiting pipeline, one that fuels the human talent that every thriving business is built upon.

Recruiting, however, can be a relatively unpredictable activity. Even the most experienced recruiting professionals face serious challenges filling critical roles in their (or their clients’) organizations, and much of the problem stems from an inability to establish, nurture and grow a sustainable talent pipeline. This is particularly true in the technology field, where qualified candidates are in extremely high demand and there is already a yawning skills gap between candidates and open jobs.
