It is a common goal in business to attract and develop talent. A key component of this is utilising talent pools to build networks of professionals without the use of an external agency.
Here at Crackerjacks we speak with HR professionals regularly who encounter issues in setting up talent pools, and more importantly keeping them up to date. The maintenance of these take a considerable amount of time and with other important HR day to day tasks taking priority, building and maintaining talent pools can take a back-seat.
This is where Crackerjacks provide real value to companies who want to build talent pools in key professions. The main factor that sets Crackerjacks apart is that we measure and rate the talent in our database of professionals. Capturing static data does not constitute a meaningful talent pool in our books.
This is why we have set up a unique performance rating system where all professionals on Crackerjacks are reference checked at the time of registration and assigned a rating. This enables businesses to identify high-performers and add them to their “Watch-Lists”, effectively allowing them to build validated talent pools.
To ensure you do not miss any relevant individuals new to Crackerjacks, a “Talent Alert” service is provided where business users can save searches for professions of interest and then receive a fortnightly email update on new talent.
Because Crackerjacks is an online tool designed to be used in-house, it means organisations can use this as their talent pooling platform. To access this function a business must be registered with Crackerjacks, but there is no cost involved to build talent pools.
