organization
● Data-driven recruitment decisions empower executives to focus on the right talent pools and hire more effectively
● Improve Employer branding through targeted campaigns based on talent availability in the market
The challenge
Offering more customised talent consulting services
Most of CGL’s clients are leading players in their respective fields, hiring for mid-to-senior-level professionals. These clients usually need guidance on getting started with recruitment of niche, skilled talent when entering new fields or new industries, to identifying possible locations for new offices. They often don’t have access to a comprehensive database or talent demand models.
The solution
Providing answers to business-critical questions
CGL is able to quickly map out the availability of talent across relevant industries and regions their clients are unfamiliar with using LinkedIn Talent Insights. The tool also helps them identify potential talent target companies, develop skill models, ranking systems, candidate capability models and demand models.
“LinkedIn Talent Insights helps us quickly put together a talent inventory model and make preliminary decisions. Our consultants are continuously interacting with candidates and carry a wealth of knowledge. By overlaying talent market trends from LinkedIn with our consultants’ knowledge base, CGL is able to cater to clients’ recruitment needs and help them hire the right high-level talent.”
