| Alumni Web Services offers corporate alumni communities and services. AWS managed services are sought after by forward looking companies who recognize that people relationships are key and their asset pool embraces current employees, potential employees and former employees. Alumni Web Services work with companies to reach out to former employees. Using the diversity of skills and talents of former employees (alumni or boomerangs) drives business success in many ways. Many companies do not yet recognize the power of former employees to positively impact their business as evidenced by a Chartered Institute of Personnel Development (CIPD) survey: “Attracting and recruiting boomerang hires (where employees return after having left the organisation)” was listed as a recruitment initiative used by only 18% of respondents.

Surveys of former employees show a high level of loyalty - and knowledge. Keep this group informed about your corporate activities and recruiting needs. Let them continue to act as good will ambassadors and as conduits for referring potential candidates. Alumni networks facilitate recruiting of experienced, job ready candidates familiar with the corporate culture. In a global job market where the candidate pool is shrinking, Alumni Web Services provide the opportunity for our multinational clients to stand above the competition as employers of choice. Former employees can also play an active role as consultants, filling short or long term resourcing needs, or as mentors supporting the on boarding of new hires. Best practices show that companies who launch a former employee network see a return on their investment within 6 to 12 months. |
