Talent Pipeline

The global downturn of 2009 affected the way organizations compete for talent and handle their talent pipeline (Greenberg & Sweeney, 2010). To build a talent pipeline, organizations need to use multiple channels continuously to identify and develop internal and external candidates who will align with their organizational strategy. These channels should identify anticipated or recurring positions. A talent pipeline gives organizations the advantage of hiring faster from the identified talent and can also save the organization money.

In a 1- to 2-page paper, address the following:

Do you think organizations will remain as competitive for talent in the future? Make sure you include a discussion about both the internal and external pipelines.
What are the core principles that should be the basis for building a talent pipeline?
How should organizations align talent pipelines to their talent management initiatives?
