Developing a Network of Passive Seekers
I saw this plate the other day…
A few days ago, I wrote about how hard it is for good, employed job seekers to search for new work while retaining anonymity.
But what if a candidate is not really “looking”, but also wouldn’t pass up the right opportunity if it, well, fell in their lap…?
Sometimes the difference between someone “happily employed” and “happily employed… but listening” isn’t very much. As an employer, how can you be attuned to those subtle shifts in perception of both your company as an employer, and their outlook as a candidate?
As far as I can tell, there is no way for someone to easily, passively and privately tell a company, “yeah, if you had something great for me, I would be interested.”
Is there?
