Based on the presentations and hallway conversations… the battlefield in the war for talent is shifting
And we have reached a tipping point.
![Page 4: Finding Top Talent is Only Half the Battle… Tips and Tricks to Effectively Engage Prospects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030318/58f0b2641a28abf04f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What we’ll cover today…
• Why small is the new big in the initial candidate experience
• Why top candidates ignore your outreach• Do you really want to reach to all of those candidate• Specific tools and techniques designed to increase
response rates• The dramatic increase in productivity that comes from
improving your outreach, response rates & engagement
![Page 5: Finding Top Talent is Only Half the Battle… Tips and Tricks to Effectively Engage Prospects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030318/58f0b2641a28abf04f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Historically our industry has
focused on sourcing tools,
techniques, and channels to
find MORE and MORE
candidates
![Page 6: Finding Top Talent is Only Half the Battle… Tips and Tricks to Effectively Engage Prospects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030318/58f0b2641a28abf04f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
FINDING
more candidates
that we would like to talk with
is no longer our greatest
sourcing challenge
![Page 7: Finding Top Talent is Only Half the Battle… Tips and Tricks to Effectively Engage Prospects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030318/58f0b2641a28abf04f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The metric that really matters
is not the BIG number of people we find who
we would like to talk with…
![Page 8: Finding Top Talent is Only Half the Battle… Tips and Tricks to Effectively Engage Prospects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030318/58f0b2641a28abf04f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The important number is
The smaller group of top candidates that
are willing to talk with us
![Page 9: Finding Top Talent is Only Half the Battle… Tips and Tricks to Effectively Engage Prospects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030318/58f0b2641a28abf04f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
When you think about it, it is actually useless
to FIND or ATTRACTtalent unless you can
ENGAGE them
![Page 10: Finding Top Talent is Only Half the Battle… Tips and Tricks to Effectively Engage Prospects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030318/58f0b2641a28abf04f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
SMALLis the new
BIG

Today, we’ll talk about
How to cut through the clutter to gain the attention
of top talent in order to ENGAGE
in a career discussion
![Page 12: Finding Top Talent is Only Half the Battle… Tips and Tricks to Effectively Engage Prospects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030318/58f0b2641a28abf04f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Attention has become a scarce resource• Often, 75-90% of emails, voice mails, and
InMails receive no reply.
![Page 13: Finding Top Talent is Only Half the Battle… Tips and Tricks to Effectively Engage Prospects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030318/58f0b2641a28abf04f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• 20% responded to the InMails• 80% ignored the InMails

The most common phrase entered into a candidate
CRM or Tracking spreadsheet…
![Page 16: Finding Top Talent is Only Half the Battle… Tips and Tricks to Effectively Engage Prospects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030318/58f0b2641a28abf04f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
“Left message, no response”
![Page 17: Finding Top Talent is Only Half the Battle… Tips and Tricks to Effectively Engage Prospects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030318/58f0b2641a28abf04f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
I don’t believe there is a
Shortage of Talent
![Page 18: Finding Top Talent is Only Half the Battle… Tips and Tricks to Effectively Engage Prospects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030318/58f0b2641a28abf04f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
I believe there is a
Shortage of ENGAGED Talent
![Page 19: Finding Top Talent is Only Half the Battle… Tips and Tricks to Effectively Engage Prospects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030318/58f0b2641a28abf04f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
“”ENGAGED TALENT”
People who will respond to our outreach and enter into a career
discussion
![Page 20: Finding Top Talent is Only Half the Battle… Tips and Tricks to Effectively Engage Prospects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030318/58f0b2641a28abf04f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Gain Attention• Earn Trust• Build Relationships• Grow Sustainable Talent
Pipelines
Competitive advantage comes from creating a remarkable
Initial Candidate Experience
![Page 21: Finding Top Talent is Only Half the Battle… Tips and Tricks to Effectively Engage Prospects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030318/58f0b2641a28abf04f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The question we
will work on today is…
![Page 22: Finding Top Talent is Only Half the Battle… Tips and Tricks to Effectively Engage Prospects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030318/58f0b2641a28abf04f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
How can you improve the Initial Candidate Experience in order to
double,triple, or
quadruplethe number of top candidates who engage
![Page 23: Finding Top Talent is Only Half the Battle… Tips and Tricks to Effectively Engage Prospects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030318/58f0b2641a28abf04f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
But first,
Why do candidates
ignore recruiters?
![Page 24: Finding Top Talent is Only Half the Battle… Tips and Tricks to Effectively Engage Prospects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030318/58f0b2641a28abf04f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
There are
Two big reasons
![Page 25: Finding Top Talent is Only Half the Battle… Tips and Tricks to Effectively Engage Prospects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030318/58f0b2641a28abf04f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
![Page 26: Finding Top Talent is Only Half the Battle… Tips and Tricks to Effectively Engage Prospects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030318/58f0b2641a28abf04f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Bad experience with recruiters
![Page 27: Finding Top Talent is Only Half the Battle… Tips and Tricks to Effectively Engage Prospects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030318/58f0b2641a28abf04f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Too often,
We treat “relationships” with
candidates like
a Kodak Disposable Camera
![Page 28: Finding Top Talent is Only Half the Battle… Tips and Tricks to Effectively Engage Prospects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030318/58f0b2641a28abf04f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Good for one-time use
then…
![Page 29: Finding Top Talent is Only Half the Battle… Tips and Tricks to Effectively Engage Prospects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030318/58f0b2641a28abf04f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

We just reach out when they can help
us.
We don’t nurture relation-
ships with candidates
Too often (recruiters)…

How do we go from the
BIG number of people who we find in our search…
To the smaller number of people who we should really
pursue
