The Talent Pool Debate

Doug Miller's excellent blog ontalent (http://ontalent.typepad.com/) focusses on the interaction of the recruiter and the candidate.

As the entire issue of CRM (candidate relationship management) is close to my heart, I have been adding my $.02 to his debate - which he kindly quoted in today's blog. I have referred to an emerging term, the Talent Puddle. Why? Because a pool is a very deep and often unfathomable body of water - and, to be honest, many many recruiters are too pressed for time to search beneath the surface (at best) or just too darn lazy (at worst) to get the best candidates who are lurking in the deeper water.

So, what they want is a Talent Puddle - a very shallow pool of candidates that can be easily found and easily caught.

I will be adding more thoughts and analogies to the Talent Pool debate later on - using some 'real world' fishing examples.

The term 'talent puddle' is attractive and I cannot see any employer wanting to select from the vast global ocean of candidates when they can have a smaller relevant alternative. However, isn't a puddle just what you are left with after the rest (good & bad) have gone elsewhere?

How do you ensure your puddle/pool is teaming with a quality catch?
