Ep 356: Talent Engagement
Building and engaging with talent pipelines has been something we have been discussing for years, but it has always surprised that there are so few employers who do it well and even fewer that do it over extended periods. Technology, recruiting and communication have evolved significantly over the last two years, opening up opportunities for companies to devise very sophisticated pipelining and engagement strategies to help address resourcing challenges such as diversity hiring and skill shortages.\n\nSo who is doing this well, and how are they doing it?\n\nMy guest this week is Jason Boone, Diversity & Military Outreach Leader at Lockheed Martin. Lockheed Martin has a long-term talent pipeline strategy that sees them engage some communities of talent for 3 to 8 years before hiring. \n\nIn the interview, we discuss:\n\n\xa0\xa0\xa0\u25aa\xa0\xa0\xa0The recruiting challenges at Lockheed Martin\n\n\xa0\xa0\xa0\u25aa\xa0\xa0\xa0Investing in the emerging workforce\n\n\xa0\xa0\xa0\u25aa\xa0\xa0\xa0Long term engagement strategies to increase diversity\n\n\xa0\xa0\xa0\u25aa\xa0\xa0\xa0The role of time and touchpoints in building the brand, creating relationships, driving efficiency and improving offer acceptance\n\n\xa0\xa0\xa0\u25aa\xa0\xa0\xa0Content strategies\n\n\xa0\xa0\xa0\u25aa\xa0\xa0\xa0Time focused candidate-centric resources.\n\n\xa0\xa0\xa0\u25aa\xa0\xa0\xa0The most surprising hiring success\n\n\xa0\xa0\xa0\u25aa\xa0\xa0\xa0The role of technology\n\n\xa0\xa0\xa0\u25aa\xa0\xa0\xa0Pushing talent across the enterprise\n\n\xa0\xa0\xa0\u25aa\xa0\xa0\xa0Mashing up strategies and technologies\n\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\n\nListen to this podcast in Apple Podcasts.
