In this episode of The Full Desk Experience, Kortney Harmon answers questions from our mail bag. Kortney answers questions about attracting talent, employee retention, and AI.
Artificial Intelligence for talent businesses is a hot trend right now. Everyone seems to be looking for that silver bullet. But what is AI, how can it help or hinder talent businesses, how is it the same or different from automations?
Keeping a healthy pool of passive talent engaged is great for your recruiters to come back to when that talent turns active. However, if used correctly, your sales team can also use passive talent to demonstrate the types of candidates you represent to prospective and new clients.
Do you have the talent in your pipeline today that adds value to your business and clients beyond what they can find themselves? In this episode of The Full Desk Experience, Kortney talks about the common mistakes you and your team might be making with passive talent and gives you several recommendations of how to turn that talent into pipeline.

But you also need to make sure that it has all the information that your candidate needs to accept the offer and complete the final steps of the hiring process.

You’ve completed the phone screen and/or resume review of a chosen candidate which means you’re ready to begin the interview stage of the hiring process. Now you need to schedule the interview at a time that works with the correct internal employees, hiring managers, and your candidate. You also need to get this done in a timely manner so you don’t lose your candidate to another opportunity.
An internship job description is a bit different from your standard full-time job description because there’s more flexibility required for the employer and intern. An internship is the start of someone’s career trajectory, sometimes opening doors for the intern that weren’t originally anticipated.
