In this session, we are joined by Ashish Bhatnagar, Sales Executive at dotin inc. to learn how staffing firms can leverage passive candidate sourcing to help recruiters find the best candidates in 2021.
Watch the Replay
75% of today’s talent market is “passive candidates”—that is, candidates who are not actively seeking a job but are open to new opportunities. As recruiters on the hunt for new talent, these passive candidates are a gold mine of hard-to-get skills & qualifications. But how to reach them?
Who Exactly Are Passive Candidates?
Passive candidates are those who are not actively seeking a new job. Semi-active job seekers are those who have a full-time job but are looking for better opportunities.
Passive candidates are part of the “total candidate universe.” The total candidate universe includes passive candidates, semi-active candidates, and active job seekers.
What is Passive Candidate Sourcing?
Passive candidate sourcing is proactively searching for employed candidates and reaching out to them with new job opportunities.
Over 75% of the total candidate universe is passive candidates. These candidates are not actively seeking new jobs, but they’re open to opportunities that fit their goals. Additionally, passive candidates are easier to engage because you are the only potential employer interviewing that candidate. In most cases, passive candidates represent themselves accurately because they already have a stable job.

Sometimes, they belong to the “passive candidate pool”—i.e., up to 85% of the global workforce who are not actively seeking a new job but are open to new opportunities.
