Re-engage candidates by inviting them to join talent communities, attend webinars, or participate in networking events. Encourage them to subscribe to newsletters or follow the company on social media to stay informed about potential opportunities. Rekindling the connection keeps the door open for future collaboration.

Antes do investimento em reengajar candidatos é necessário uma análise minuciosa de porque fazer isso? O interessa na marca é algo que perdura e retoma-lo é custoso, é preferível mapear as vagas das quais isso se faz necessário para se poupar tempo e ganhar volume no processo com poucos dias de vaga trabalhada, se for um público mais nichado aí agir de forma mais estratégia para trazer de volta para o processo pode ser iniciado por uma abordagem direta da base simplificando o primeiro contato

Solicitação de opinião e sempre bem vindo os formulários de Nps para entender os pontos de melhoria do processo trazem idéias sobre o que é possível melhorar. A comunicação com o candidato é muito mistificada e pode ser simplificada com humanização e objetividade.

It's important to remember that vacancies and role expectations differ from one another as well as each candidate with his/her unique work experience and professional knowledge and expertise. It's always a priority to stay in touch with candidates for future opportunities with positive attitude and offer new roles if you see that it's a great match :)

If you're working as a Talent Acquisition Professional, then you're not an individual but you're driving force which influences the entire network. A quick story - when you create an eternal bond with someone then you become a follower/well-wisher for that person, and by all that means candidates always stay in touch with you. They call, and ping whenever they start looking out, hiring for their team, or hiring an HR person for their start-up. There was a time when I hired a person in one of my previous organisations and hired him again in the later one when he was on a hunt again. The moral is, to stay connected with your network because anyone could seek help from you or you might need someone in the future.
