The Cost of Starting Each Recruiting Search from Scratch vs. Working from a Talent Pool
Recruiting is a time-intensive and resource-demanding process. Every recruiter knows the challenges of finding, engaging, and securing the right candidates in a competitive market. In the fast-paced recruiting landscape, time is money—and wasting either can be detrimental to any agency’s success. One of the most significant differences between highly efficient recruiting agencies and those that struggle is whether they approach every new hire as a fresh start or build upon a robust talent pool.
In this article, we’ll explore the true cost of starting each recruiting search from scratch compared to leveraging a talent pool. We’ll dive into the benefits of talent pools, provide insight into the hidden costs of repeated, from-scratch searches, and share actionable tips for how recruiters can build and maintain an effective talent pool. Finally, we’ll showcase how Springboard’s platform can help agencies reduce costs, increase efficiency, and maintain an engaged pipeline of qualified candidates.
