We’re welcoming Brad Clayton as Vice President of AI and Transformation at TalentNet.

Brad joins from AWS, where he led the Canada Specialist Organization across Data, AI, and Machine Learning, working with enterprise teams on large-scale transformation. Prior to that, he held senior roles at Microsoft, leading Canadian enterprise-focused innovation teams.

He has been in the rooms where the most rigorous enterprise AI gets built. That is the room we operate in.

Justin Lumby, our President, on why this hire matters now:

'The next era of Direct Sourcing will be defined by how thoughtfully companies apply AI. The opportunity is not just to automate tasks. It is to deliver compounding gains in efficiency, candidate experiences rich enough to surface insight no static profile could reveal, and intelligent agents that connect seamlessly across the hiring lifecycle. Doing that at enterprise scale demands an uncompromising commitment to security and compliance, and that is core to how we build.'

Brad on what he is here to do:

'AI is reshaping how organizations approach talent acquisition, and TalentNet is well positioned to lead that shift in the Direct Sourcing space. I am looking forward to applying my experience in enterprise AI to help build solutions that simplify the hiring process and create new opportunities for industry leaders.'

Brad joins as we move into a new chapter of the work.

One of the biggest myths in Direct Sourcing?

That curators are just pulling names from an existing talent pool.

The reality is great Talent Communities don’t build themselves. Strong Curators are constantly attracting, engaging, and nurturing talent long before a req opens.

As Matt Redling from TalentNet’s Customer Success team shares in this video, successful curation is part recruiter, part marketer, and part community builder.

The best Curators:
📍Understand business needs
📍Run targeted talent campaigns
📍Keep candidates engaged
📍Build ready pipelines before hiring demand hits

If your strategy only relies on the talent already in your pool, growth eventually stalls.

The best Curators don’t just pull from the community. They build it.

Money doesn’t speak. Data does.
Because without a solid metrics tracker, creating a successful Direct Sourcing program becomes an uphill battle.

While some companies tend to ignore key data points, others track too many metrics, missing the bigger picture.

So what do you track if you want to grow your hiring strategy?

It depends where you are in your journey.

If you’re in phase 1 - the set up phase - you should focus on validating engagement and building a foundation.

For phase 2 - the growth phase - you should keep up with candidate quality and community engagement.

In phase 3, data becomes strategic. Here, you’re looking at cost savings and future predictors, like talent gaps and available skillsets.

In our latest blog, we explore which metrics to track when. Check it out here: https://hubs.li/Q04h6nJd0

Recruiting is reactive. It’s focused on filling roles as they open.

Curation is different. It’s continuous. It’s about building and nurturing talent communities long before a job is ever posted.

That distinction is reshaping how organizations think about talent strategy.

🚀 Faster access to talent
💡 Stronger, warmer pipelines
📊 More predictable hiring outcomes
🤝 Deeper candidate relationships

As Sathi Ganpat shares: “It’s not just about hiring anymore. It’s about building a talent ecosystem.”

That’s the shift: from transactions to long-term talent thinking.
