I’ve always found the practice of some to seek out those candidates who are already employed and not actively looking for work, while literally shunning those who are actively on the hunt, to be a curious one, especially since finding and hiring passive candidates often comes at greater expense in terms of time, recruitment cost and starting salary. Please share your thoughts, opinions and practices.
Do you know of any actual evidence to support the practice as one that results in a stronger workforce?
What can you share with unemployed job seekers that might help to combat this practice and get them on the radar?
What can you share with employers and recruiters that might help them determine that this practice has merit or is a fallacy and should be abandoned?
