Passive candidates

Passive Candidates are those employees who have a proven track record in their respective fields yet are not seriously looking out for new jobs but have other things they are doing at hand. Engaging passive candidates is key to filling specialised, senior, or hard-to-fill roles with high-quality talent. These candidates do not apply directly to job postings and must be sourced through proactive methods such as LinkedIn outreach, referrals, or networking.
