Secrets To Finding Passive Candidates

Secrets to Finding Passive Candidates

1. Provide detailed, well crafted job descriptions that highlight how the job will impact the company in terms of profitability, revenue growth, increase marketshare, new product and/or services.

2. Create a passive candidate list with LinkedIn profiles and share with the hiring manager and have the hiring manager identify who they would like to have an exploratory call with.

3. Email/call/text the passive candidates and provide information on the job and company. Be brief and stress that the hiring manager reviewed their profile and believes they could be a good fit for the position. Stress the exploratory nature of the call and that this is not a formal interview.

If your company is struggling to find passive candidates, perhaps it is time to develop a passive candidate recruiting strategy that can improve your hire rates and quality of candidates.
