The Art of Sourcing Passive Resumes

One of the toughest challenges faced by HR professionals and recruiters is to find the right candidate for the right job. Despite having several job boards, there are still a lot of hard-to-fill jobs. The reason is that these job boards are unable to provide the right candidate and they are quite expensive too. So what next? The solution is sourcing passive resumes.  Passive resumes are resumes of candidates who are already employed and are not actively looking for jobs but they are “actively passive” – i.e. they will be just monitoring the job market trends and opportunities. If an attractive offer comes their way, they might be interested in it. These candidates post their resumes in social networking sites, blogs, personal websites, professional forums, etc. The major advantage of passive candidates is that they are a hidden talent pool and are not contacted by your competitors. Passive sourcing is less expensive as these resumes are available in the Internet for "FREE."

So, unless you use all the related titles in your search, you are likely to miss out on some good candidate leads. One way to find all relevant job titles is to first search the career sites using the (only) job title given by your client. Take note of the job titles that come up. Most sites provide a "View similar jobs" link beside the job titles in the results. Clicking that link will get you a series of similar positions categorized by Freshness, Overlooked, Relevant, etc. Under the Relevant category, you will find jobs similar in content to the position you are searching for. You can include all such relevant job titles to exp
