Recruiting Software, ATS, CRM whatever you use, tools for recruiting have largely been focused around the workflow once a candidate is found. But what about if you have just begun the sourcing process. These candidates are still put onto spreadsheets or sent in the forms of links found online. Hello Talent is a smart new tool that simplifies adding, aggregating and sharing sourced profiles.
When I first looked at, I didn’t get it. It said “build a community.” and I was like, “Too much work. Goodbye, Talent!” If this is my first response, it is based on my own biases and I need to demo the product. Demo I did. And I get it, it just can be hard to explain. Well, watch this:
I love the Chrome extension! It allows you to go on an easter egg hunt (AKA searching the web) for candidates, tag each egg, and then put them into your basket (AKA Communities or Talent Pools) and then give that basket to whoever needs the eggs. Any of the other people looking for eggs with you can also put the tagged eggs into the right basket.
What was a bit confusing at first was Hello Talent’s options for customization. This is also what make this product stand apart from the others.
They don’t tell you what to look for what groups you have to create. They don’t even make you pick a color. All of this you customize. It will take a bit of tweaking on your part to make it flow right, but it is worth the time. I know what you are thinking, “If it is so good, why is it free?” I asked the same thing.
Like all companies, they have stuff you can buy. This is just the gateway tool. But it is a great tool that can make a sourcers life much easier.
