Candidate Attraction:

A talent community is a method of social recruiting, by relying on the collection of social cliques (or talent networks) of people that are part of the job seeking process. These people may be seeking a job themselves, offering career advice to others, recruitment professionals, college campus recruiters, sourcers, and friends seeking jobs or advice. Talent communities operate through two-way interaction between community members. A talent community is not a list of candidates on a web page or in a spreadsheet, it is an environment consisting of people who can share ideas for the purpose of career networking or social recruiting of candidates. Employers can interact and communicate with prospective employees as well as inform candidates about employment opportunities, receive referrals, and handpick qualified individuals from inside the group. A talent community can include prospective candidates, past applicants, current employees, and past employees. Talent communities are managed by recruiters and/or hiring managers.
