Businesses in warehousing and logistics typically manage a mix of busy and slower activity levels throughout the year. As a result, they need the scalability to quickly add contract professionals or new employees in a cost-effective manner. Having fast access to talented workers becomes easier after building a robust talent pipeline.
Let’s examine a few strategies to build and maintain a strong talent pipeline for your organization. Leverage these insights to improve your employer branding to attract talented professionals who want to join your team. Partnering with the staffing experts at CAREERXCHANGE® (CXC) also ensures you enjoy a consistent supply of talent.
A Strong Employer Brand remains Important
In a competitive job market, your company needs to stand out from the pack when recruiting workers. Having a recognizable employer brand in the region ultimately helps your company get noticed by candidates. You want to be known for providing interesting work, a great organizational culture, and meaningful professional development opportunities.
Being active in the local community around your industry also attracts attention from potential applicants. In addition to hosting professional events, consider sponsoring a local sports team or even a summertime regional celebration. Supporting local charities and non-profits also helps build your company brand. Ask the team at CXC for advice on this critical subject for businesses.
Leverage your Professional Network
A strong professional network also serves as a valuable source of talent, especially passive candidates. These professionals, not actively looking for work, typically become highly valuable employees after their hiring. They remain a great option for finding potential leaders and developing workers ready for managerial roles.
In fact, building a network in tandem with your employer brand makes perfect sense. Leverage both to generate useful synergies, helping your business attract both candidates and clients. Once again, industry mixers and similar professional events provide a great opportunity for networking.
A Partnership with a Staffing Agency makes developing a Talent Pipeline easier
Partnering with an experienced staffing agency makes the process of building a talent pipeline easier. The best agencies maintain their own robust supply of talent, ensuring they quickly meet their clients’ hiring needs. In the end, working with a top-shelf agency like CXC reduces your time-to-hire in addition to other efficiency improvements. It’s the right approach for getting the best return on your business’s staffing investment.
