What is “Passive Talent” and how do you access it?
How would you like access to 80% of the WA Job-Seekers that advertising can’t reach? In 2023, attracting ‘Passive Talent’ is going to be essential for the health and growth of your business : The good news is, that we find it for you.
Finding great candidates in a tight market requires significant resources and time management. We can help you to access the pool of ‘Passive Talent’, who don’t respond to traditional advertising.
It may surprise you to hear that 80% of the people we place haven’t applied through an advertisement. So, how do we do it? If there’s one thing we’ve learnt in recent times it’s this : The best way to identify and attract the best candidates to join your team, is by accessing ‘Passive Talent’.
Please consider this: Typically, when companies need a new staff member, the first and only thing they do is advertise on a job-board or social media platform. This will deliver a response, but only from the 10% of people who are actively looking for a new role. If you really want to mine for the best talent, you need to dig a lot deeper.
80% of our successful placements are Candidates who never actually applied for the role. This ‘Passive Talent’ base, which represents the large majority of people in the workplace, is the space where Lloyd Recruitment Group invest our time and resources.
If Recruitment is not the primary focus of your particular business, you simply won’t be able to have the amount of coverage needed to engage passive candidates. It takes a significant investment to manage this correctly, one that we’re happy to make if it means our clients & candidates have the best choices available to them.
How The Job-Seeker Life-Cycle impacts upon your hiring options
To best explain how we attract Passive Talent, we need to take a look at what we call THE JOB SEEKER LIFESTYLE and break down the three stages within it. Here goes :
ACTIVE JOB-SEEKER – These people are actively looking for a new opportunity and are applying to advertisements and responding to messages. Finding a new role, is important to them at this stage in the cycle.
THESE ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE YOU GET TO CHOOSE FROM, IF YOU ONLY ADVERTISE YOUR ROLE.
INACTIVE JOB-SEEKER – At this stage, people are settling in to their new role and will not be reviewing advertisements or responding to an approach.
EFFECTIVELY OFF-LIMITS TO EMPLOYERS AND RECRUITERS.
PASSIVE JOB SEEKER – People in this stage of the cycle are not actively thinking about a new role and are not looking at advertising. They can only be reached through a professional network or from a direct approach from us. Effectively, they are off-limits for people who trust a job-board advertisement as their only form of attracting people.
80% of the market’s talent is Passive Talent that is not actively looking for opportunities. We can enable you to tap into this segment, leading to a bigger range of candidates to choose from.
