Poetry - the Recruiter Enablement Workspace

Poetry launched a recruiter enablement workspace for talent acquisition and RPO teams in October 2023 and saves recruiters 64 minutes per day in completing regular manual tasks. Every org gets one free admin account. Go to poetryhr.com to get started. Specifically, we offer solutions, within one easy-to-use platform, for: - Recruitment marketing*: content management and content development from talent attraction to onboarding and internal mobility - Recruitment operations: agency enablement, candidate enablement, hiring manager enablement and more - Recruiter learning: onboarding for new TA team starts and tactical 'must know' updates for all team members - Recruitment tools: in-built modules including battle cards and wikis and quick links to your ATS, Indeed, LinkedIn, SocialTalent and more Why? Because some organizations use generic enterprise file storage systems to manage this today while most have no solution. Talent acquisition and RPO teams will prefer Poetry because of our ease-of-use, data, insights and ability to collaborate across teams and learn from users in other companies. Principles: - Poetry is extremely easy to buy, set up and use - We optimise collaboration between your team members - Collaboration across customers will be enabled where appropriate - The more problems we can solve within the one workspace, the better - There is less time, cost and risk in using existing marketing, operational and learning assets than creating new *Not distribution
