English term or phrase: alumni
Jag översätter en uppförandekod för ett företag som erbjuder tjänster för kundanalys i hela världen, och då står det så här:

Starting from the time you are a potential candidate to when you become an associate and maybe one day, an alumni, we want to create a meaningful XXX Employee Experience.

Är inte Alumni normalt Utexaminerad? Men hur passar det in här när man redan blivit medarbetare? Verkar gå i fel riktning; först är man utexaminerad, sedan söker man jobb och blir potentiell kandidat och till sist blir man medarbetare.

Explanation:
SAOL har med "alumn", plural "alumner", i den 14:e upplagan 2015, så det är helt i sin ordning att använda detta latinska ord även i svenskan. Och som Fredrik Caguson redan påpekat är engelskans "alumni" plural.

Explanation:
Oxford Dictionary ger en kort och bra förklaring, se länken. Notera att "alumni" är pluralformen, så det borde egentligen vara "an alumnus", som enligt samma länk beteckar både män och kvinnor i organisationssammanhang.
