nextSource Announced TalentCalling: Who is it for and how can you Benefit?
nextSource is no stranger to the space of direct sourcing. If you’ve never heard the term before you might be asking, what is direct sourcing? Direct sourcing was originally defined as the practice of finding job seekers for open positions using in-house personnel and methods, building a talent pool—freelancers, contingents, or temp workers—without relying on a third-party staffing or recruitment agency. The definition has been expanded over time to include the use of third-parties tasked with curating and managing the client’s talent pool.
At nextSource we took it up a notch by announcing TalentCallingTM, a unique way for organizations to source talent for their skilled worker needs. We’ve created an online centralized system populated with prequalified candidates with a select set of predetermined skill sets. The majority of these individuals have successfully completed engagements with a nextSource client, demonstrating competency, initiative, and a focus on results. Participating clients draw from this community of prequalified professionals and place them into roles where they will shine.
On Monday, nextSource announced the newest solution dedicated to the space of higher education, known as TalentCallingTM. TalentCalling offers a unique way for institutions to source talent for their skilled worker needs. We’ve created an online centralized system and fill it with prequalified candidates with a select set of predetermined skill sets. Then we allow higher education members to draw from this community of prequalified professionals and place them into roles where they will shine across all areas within the higher education space.
Within this shared community are candidates preselected for roles including IT personnel, R&D professionals, engineers, marketing personnel, accounting/finance resources, admissions personnel, administrative assistants, instructional designers, research assistants, teaching assistants, general managers, and more. Candidates with other skill sets will continuously be added. This is not a simple Applicant Tracking System offered by many firms as a direct sourcing solution. Each week, we reach out to candidates in the TalentCalling system, offering career guidance, industry updates, market research and highlighted open positions of our participating clients. We regularly poll members to identify ways to better serve their needs, maintaining a high level of interest in future engagement opportunities with our clients.
