How to Build an Effective Candidate Network on Demando

Creating a candidate network is about building long-term relationships with professionals who may be valuable to your organization, both now and in the future. With Demando, you can easily structure and grow this network while recruiting. Here’s a step-by-step guide to maximizing your use of the platform:

1. Map Out Key Skills and Roles

Start by identifying the roles and competencies critical to your company’s success. On Demando, you can:

• Create tailored searches based on the specific skills, experience levels, and technologies you need.

• Use filters to match your needs with relevant candidates who have already expressed interest in being contacted by the right companies.

With a clear plan, you can quickly attract the right talent and lay the foundation for a long-term network.

2. Focus on Relationships, Not Just Resumes

Demando is not just about matching jobs and candidates—it’s about building trust and relationships. To strengthen these connections:

• Personalized Messages: Communicate directly with candidates on the platform, tailoring your message to show you understand their career goals.

• Engagement: Follow up with thoughtful questions and share relevant company insights, such as blog posts, case studies, or webinar invitations.

By viewing candidates as potential future colleagues, not just current job seekers, you foster long-term relationships.

3. Create a Structure for Follow-Up

A key part of candidate networking is staying in touch over time, and Demando makes this easy:

• Save candidates to your own lists, such as “Not a Fit Right Now” or “Future Talent.”

• Send personalized updates about new roles, company news, or events to remain top-of-mind when they’re ready for their next step.

4. Make It Part of Your Recruitment Process

Building a candidate network doesn’t have to take extra time—it can be seamlessly integrated into your recruitment process on Demando:

• When interviewing candidates who aren’t moving forward for a specific role, use Demando to maintain contact.

• Add these candidates to your lists on the platform and categorize them based on their future potential or development needs.

• Regularly follow up with these candidates to nurture the relationship and increase the chances they’ll be ready to move forward the next time you have a need.

Summary

With Demando, you can not only recruit but also build a long-term and effective candidate network. By combining the platform’s features with a strategy that emphasizes relationships, you can efficiently create a competitive edge for future hiring—without adding extra workload.
