Leveraging Alumni Networks to Strengthen Talent Acquisition

Leveraging Alumni Networks to Strengthen Talent Acquisition

This IDC Perspective discusses the potential for alumni networks to drive talent acquisition strategies through improved skills matching, branding, and DEI initiatives, powered through AI technology enablement. It includes a technology case study analysis of SeekOut, an option for buyers of technology services considering a solution that will drive alumni talent pool development. "With the myriad efforts organizations are undertaking today to improve retention, circumstances beyond their control can still come into play leading to top talent moving on to new opportunities. While a loss in the short term, savvy organizations leverage alumni networks so that even when no longer an employee, individuals are still contributing to their success. Ultimately, a robust alumni network can become a powerful tool for talent acquisition," says Matthew Merker, research manager, Talent Acquisition and Strategy at IDC.
