When you prepare to build your Talent Network, start by thinking locally.

Invite people you already know, and target the networks you (and the people you work and socialize with) are already a part of. Leverage other employees at your company -– especially your new hires, as they are likely connected to other great people they've worked with in the past.

Other suggestions include targeting people you have met at networking events or career fairs, runner-up candidates for jobs at your company, or candidates who didn't accept a job offer at your company at one time. Reconnecting with these people and capturing their contact information in Jobster will give you an invaluable resource of talent that you can always tap into.
