We're all reading the headlines: mass layoffs, hiring freezes, the growing number of unemployed... It's depressing to think about the displaced talent on the job market right now. At some point, hopefully sooner rather than later, the economy will improve and employers will once again fight for the best and brightest candidates.
Until then, those employers who focus on cultivating relationships with A-level talent will be uniquely positioned for success when the economy picks up and competition for talent ensues. Although companies may not be hiring right now, the forward-thinking ones are capturing candidate contact information and keeping in touch via talent networks.
Today's ERE article, "Corporate Alumni and Boomerang Recruiting Programs are Hot Due to Layoffs," discusses the benefits of a talent network for re-recruiting former employees:

At NAS, we work with our clients to create talent networks for former employees but also to capture active and passive job seekers from a variety of sources (i.e. career site visitors, job fair attendees, networking events). And there is truly no better time than right now to start a talent network.
