Sometimes the best person for the job isn’t actively seeking new opportunities. You might think this will cause you to miss out, but that doesn’t have to happen.

Finding passive talent on your own can be quite challenging, so take on a staffing partner. As a hiring expert, your recruiter knows exactly where to look to find candidates willing to make a move for the right fit.

Talent Pools

Recruiters work hard to maintain talent pools filled with gainfully employed candidates interested in pursuing select opportunities. They periodically check in with these professionals to see where they’re at, to make sure they’re keeping them in mind for the right jobs. Therefore, it’s possible they can connect you to your ideal fit almost immediately.

Networking Events

Making new connections is a big part of a recruiter’s job, so they’re constantly putting themselves out there. They take every chance they get to meet people passionate about their careers — and not just those actively seeking new opportunities. Finding the time to do this on your own can be rough, but you don’t have to worry about it when you have a staffing partner on your team.

Referrals

Shared connections are one of the best ways to find passive talent. Recruiters know this and constantly reach out to their contacts when working to fill open positions. Since their networks are larger than the average person, they’re have serious reach. This increases the chances they’ll be able to find passive talent for your team — and fast.

Social Media

Sites like LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook have become crucial to any hiring strategy. Recruiters invest a significant amount of time connecting with passive candidates on these sites. Therefore, when they post a job, it’s immediately on their radar. No doubt, you’re also sharing open positions with your social networks, but if passive candidates aren’t following you, they’ll never know the jobs are available.
