Passive Candidates

November 21, 2024

Description

You have a choice to be passive in filling your positions. Maybe people read about your position on your website, maybe they hear about you in the press, maybe your employees are great referral sources, or maybe you just have a fantastic reputation in the market. You find that you just don't have to spend any money to get qualified resumes. If you have the time and ability to properly interview candidates, and you are happy with all of your results, then this is the perfect world.

What it Costs

While it appears that there are no monetary costs, you still may have costs associated with employee referral programs or corporate messaging to maintain your brand; however, if this has worked for you, then you may not need to spend money soliciting resumes. You have costs associated with the position being empty, but this passive approach is usually not used by a company who has an urgent need to fill the position.
