talent pipeline
Future hire flow
A talent pipeline is an organization's pool of potential candidates for future positions—people identified, cultivated, and tracked before jobs open.
Companies build talent pipelines through internships, recruiting relationships, and succession planning: We need to strengthen our talent pipeline for senior roles.
The metaphor suggests steady flow from source to destination, like oil or water infrastructure.
