Candidate Pipeline

Definition:

A Candidate Pipeline refers to a pool of qualified individuals who have either applied for jobs within your organisation or have been sourced as potential candidates for future job openings. The pipeline allows you to have a ready list of candidates that you can reach out to when a new position opens up, thereby speeding up the recruitment process.

Example:

Suppose you are in the tech industry and frequently need software developers. Even when you don't have an immediate opening, you keep a list of promising developers who have either applied in the past or have been referred to you. When a position becomes available, you can quickly reach out to candidates in this pipeline, reducing the time and effort needed to fill the role.
