The relationship between recruitment and retention at TD Business Banking

Throughout the recruiting, hiring and onboarding process, there’s a lot that can go wrong – especially with campus candidates, whose attention is divided between school, extra-curricular activities, part-time jobs, friends and, of course, the Internet.

According to Nancy Moulday, Manager Recruitment at TD Business Banking, it takes a well-planned, integrated strategy with constant touch points every step of the way, executed by a number of internal and external partners, to successfully retain new entry-level employees.

And she would know. Over the last four years, Nancy has recruited, hired and onboarded 600 new TD Business Banking associates, and boasts a retention rate that would make any campus recruiter green with envy: 98.6%

As Canada’s demographics continue to shift, and more and more Baby Boomers retire, employers will be forced to compete for a much smaller, much younger talent pool – Generation Y.

Although an aging workforce has historically been a problem in natural resource industries like mining and oil and gas, the issue is becoming more prevalent in other industries now too, such as insurance and financial services.

You know what they say: the first step is admitting you have a problem. But then what?

Photos – Gen Y Recruitment Insider: Behind the Scenes with MasterCard and TD Business Banking

July 5, 2011 / Cassandra Jowett / 7 Comments

Last Thursday, TalentEgg hosted the first event in our Gen Y Recruitment Insider series, featuring presentations from TD Business Banking and MasterCard.

The Gen Y Recruitment Insider series by TalentEgg is designed to give Canadian recruitment professionals an inside look at the most successful Gen Y focused recruitment and branding campaigns executed by their peers. At each event, attendees have the opportunity to discuss these campaigns as well as forthcoming developments in digital and social media as they pertain to student and new grad recruitment.

Nancy Moulday, Manager Recruitment at TD Business Banking, and Kobi Gulerson, Director of Digital Marketing at MasterCard Canada, shared the behind-the-scenes of their very different but effective styles of recruitment.

We’d like to thank everyone who came out on Thursday and we sincerely hope you had a great time! It was a full house and we had a fantastic turn out, especially considering it was the night before a long weekend.

Couldn’t attend? Stay tuned for blog posts this week featuring the key takeaways from Nancy and Kobi’s presentations as well as our survey findings that indicate some interesting recruitment and marketing trends for the next year.

Major milestones at TalentEgg

July 3, 2009 / Cassandra Jowett / 1 Comment

You may have noticed a slowdown in updates here on the blog over the past few months. Well, it’s definitely not because we have nothing to write about – we’re just so busy doing so many things we hardly have time to sit down and write about them.

From Class to Career

TalentEgg now has its own column on GlobeCampus, The Globe and Mail’s site dedicated to undergraduate education in Canada. We usually post a new article once a week written either by Lauren, myself or one of our star contributors from the Incubator. We’ve even been featured on the globeandmail.com homepage every single week! Click here to check out From Class to Career.

The Hatch, a resource for campus recruiters by TalentEgg

In June we also launched The Hatch, which is an online resource on the “campus recruiting” industry for employers who recruit and hire students and recent grads. We update with new content three times each week, featuring industry news, trends and feedback from students and recent grads themselves.

Coming soon: Career resources for students and recent grads in BOOK form

We’re working on a downloadable e-book which will contain many of the ideas found on the Incubator, but organized in a more manageable book format. It’s still in the planning stages, but we’re aiming to publish it online in September and hopefully in hard copy format by next spring! What do you want to see in the book?

Helping sort out self-help

We were recently approached to review a book on the Incubator and it arrived in the mail today, so within the next few weeks you should see that review, hopefully the first of many, online. We know there are a ton of “How to get a job” books out there, so we want to help students and recent grads figure out which ones apply to them.

That’s just some of the exciting news and progress we’ve made over the past month or two. Stay tuned for even more amazing things from TalentEgg!
