This new world of recruitment can be quite a challenge for the HR department. It differs from the traditional PROCESS in a number of ways.

• The candidates can contact the company in many different ways, and they want to decide how to go about it.
• Working with a talent pool requires COMPLETELY new processes, because, after the INITIAL registration, the initiative often must come from the employer.
• Besides the processes surrounding applications and job openings, something must be done for the retention of talent in the pool.
• Line managers expect to be involved more actively in the selection process and get quicker RESULTS so they can respond to changing market REQUIREMENTS
• “Cost per hire” is an important key figure, and budgets for HR are often limited.
• Recruitment, staff retention, succession planning, and career development are interacting strongly. They even can be seen as parts of the same complex process.
