talent pools
Available workforce collections
A talent pool is a database or network of potential job candidates that an organization maintains for future hiring needs.
Companies build talent pools from previous applicants, referrals, and sourced candidates who might be good fits down the line: We're adding her to our talent pool for when a senior position opens.
The metaphor suggests a reservoir to draw from rather than starting fresh with each vacancy.
