Active vs. Passive Candidates: Why You Could Be Missing Out on Top Talent
In recruitment, active candidates are those actively seeking new opportunities, submitting applications, and attending interviews. They’re visible, accessible, and often motivated to make a change. Passive candidates, however, are employed and not actively searching for roles, often representing highly skilled individuals content in their current positions. Despite this, they may be open to the right offer if approached strategically.
Why the Best Candidates Don’t Always Apply
The best talent isn’t always looking at job boards. High-performing professionals may not be actively searching, either because they’re satisfied with their current role or simply unaware of opportunities that could offer them a better fit. This leads to a common issue: companies may miss out on top talent because these potential hires aren’t among the visible, active candidate pool.
