This is our fourth radio episode and part two of our exploration of online talent (communities) pools. "Communities" is in parentheses because we've heard a lot of cross-talk about whether they're really communities, or just talent sourcing pools. There is a difference.

Most companies #TChat has heard from are using social recruiting strategies to drive two-way job information and career communication between them and their "members" -- but they're not communities in the sense that members talk to one another and collaborate on a variety of activities, whether they apply for the jobs or not.

And that's okay, but it's time to hear from practitioners directly about what they think of "The Why of Launching Online Talent (Communities)." Do we need them today? Or do we just need a Facebook page to "Like"?

Whether you're a hiring company, a talent community vendor, a recruiter or a job seeker -- this is the #TChat show for you! Come listen to us banter further about talent communities and join in the conversation online on Twitter.

The #TChat Twitter chat and #TChat Radio are created and hosted by @MeghanMBiro and @KevinWGrossman, and powered by our friends @MattCharney, @CatyKobe and @TheOneCrystal, and partners @TalentCulture, @Monster_WORKS, @MonsterCareers, @HRmarketer and of course @Focus.

If you're not familiar with our weekly Twitter #TChat (TalentCulture Chat) or TalentCulture blogging community, we are a collective of business leaders, social media advocates, workplace culture and career professionals, and we discuss the World of Work. It's about re-imagining how we, as leaders, acquire, empower and retain our workforce today, with emotional connectivity and global cultural inclusivity -- the intersection of Talent + Culture.
