The Sleeping Giant: How Organizations Can Unlock the Potential of Their Applicant Database

As the present talent market becomes increasingly competitive, attracting Talent is crucial for business success.  However, many organizations overlook a hidden treasure trove of potential hires: their applicant database.  Millions of applications are submitted yearly, yet a significant portion remains dormant in applicant tracking systems (ATS) – a sleeping giant waiting to be awakened.

Key Pointers:

  • The talent market is increasingly competitive, and attracting talent is crucial for business success.

  • Organizations often overlook the potential of their applicant databases, which contain a significant number of dormant applications.

  • A staggering 83% of global organizations reported difficulty filling open positions in 2023, intensifying competition for qualified candidates.

  • The rise of online job boards and platforms has led to organizations receiving hundreds or even thousands of applications for a single position, making screening and managing the volume overwhelming.

  • Strategies to mine applicant databases include personalized communication, staying connected with candidates, re-evaluating past applicants, offering exclusive content and events, providing upskilling opportunities, implementing gamification and incentives, and ensuring a positive candidate experience.
