We're in the thick of the holiday season where #retail sees seasonal hiring spikes and soaring customer demands which add to the pressure to deliver exceptional service.    "Seasonal hiring poses its own challenges, with associated costs like background checks and marketing efforts. To address this, some companies are tapping into their alumni network of former seasonal employees, offering a cost-effective way to onboard experienced workers."   It’s a strategy that resonates in industries beyond retail. Corporate alumni management software enables companies to re-engage former employees, leverage their expertise, and streamline rehiring during critical times.    Key takeaway: Your alumni network isn’t just a memory bank—it’s a talent pool, a resource for referrals, and a way to build lasting business relationships.    How are you planning for your next “peak season”?    #seasonalhiring #alumnirelations #hrstrategy #humanresources

Hudson Cooper Search, a recruitment services company, shared research and anecdotes on boomerangs in #construction. Specifically, a story of how an employee at a large construction firm left for a higher-paying job, but later returned with enhanced expertise and loyalty after realizing his previous employer was the better fit.    Boomerang hires are becoming more prevalent across different industries. Our benchmarking report has repeatedly shown year over year an average of 8% of hires are rehires, and this article discusses research by Visier showcasing 28% of hires can be rehires (or 25% internationally). However, according to LinkedIn's economic graph, boomerangs in construction are only 1.7-2% on average. Our case study with Bechtel Corporation showed that with a strong corporate alumni strategy, platform, and consistent engagement, that boomerang number can be 25%.

Talent management and revenue generation are extremely important goals for any business. Corporate alumni programs are not always immediately thought of as ways to assist both of those goals, but they are valuable strategic building blocks. But, how? By weaving alumni initiatives into the core strategy, not only are there tangible benefits for those goals, but increased benefits such as strong employer branding. Start by aligning your metrics with key company priorities like brand advocacy, business development, and talent acquisition. Regularly share these insights with leadership through clear reports, dashboards, and success stories - keeping execs engaged and supporting further investment.    Gain the insights you need to keep leadership invested and ensure lasting support for your alumni program here: https://lnkd.in/gSPjjmNS #ROI #corporatealumni #bizdev #talent #strategy

When's the best time to start an alumni program? Today!   While there are a few pioneers in corporate alumni programs that date back to the 90s, most programs have started in recent years. Regardless of a start date, what we've seen in research is that alumni programs grow over time when prioritized (and deliver results). Building a successful alumni program takes time & effort through consistent outreach, effective marketing, and continuous engagement.    Want to get started?   We are hosting a How to Launch Webinar on Thursday.

Did you know alumni networks can significantly boost your company’s bottom line?     Our research in the past decade shows a consistent trend: business development, talent acquisition, and brand awareness are the top drivers for alumni programs.     However, over half of programs still aren’t measuring their true impact.  This was the topic of our recent workshop in New York City. How can we get better at proving results?   As alumni programs become more strategic, data and analytics are becoming essential to track outcomes like sales, talent retention, and brand visibility.     This is your chance to showcase the value of your alumni network—not just to executives, but to the entire organization.    Find out what successful companies are tracking and how they’re maximizing alumni impact. https://lnkd.in/gwJAhKau #corporatealumni #ROI #programmanagement #data #hrstrategy #CHRO #CMO

With burnout, a lack of learning opportunities, and AI pressures driving job dissatisfaction, the anticipated "#GreatStay" in 2024 might not be as solid as experts predicted. LinkedIn and Microsoft's latest data surveying 31,000 individuals across 31 countries reveals that more people want to quit their jobs in the year ahead than in 2021 (the year of #thegreatresignation). For the US? "85% of professionals in the US are eyeing up a new job this year." However, this could be good news for some companies who lost talent in 2021/2022. "Those who switched jobs in 2022 are now reporting being less satisfied at work than those who stayed put." 80% of those who quit in the Great Resignation now regret it, and may be looking to go back to previous companies seeking better work-life balance. An alumni program could help manage those relationships and create higher boomerang rates in the years to come. https://lnkd.in/ehf5N2c3 or https://lnkd.in/g2DuCQkS #corporatealumni #hrstrategy #recruitment
