Transcript of Entelo Inside the Brain of the Passive Candidate
and how to use them
Who are we talking about here?
“I’m open to talking!”
“I’m looking 24/7!”Nearly 80% of the workforce is
considered passive. But they can
still be approached for
opportunities.
Many of these so-called “passive
candidates” are sending signals
all of the time, which, combined
with other factors, can be
used to determine just how
receptive they might be.
“I love my job, thanks.”
“Call me, maybe.”

Potential Availability
Explicit AvailabilityWhile not technically passive, the line between passive and active is getting blurry.
Uploading or updating resumes and using network "�ags" are still common and allow some candidates to silently signal their interest.
These are just a few of the many indicators you can use to �nd passive candidates. For more signals of passive candidate availability, download Entelo's white paper at:

People who have been at their jobs for a few short months may not be interested in moving just yet. Wait a little while.
On the other hand, anyone who has been in the same company for over 6 years is not likely to leave either.
Reach out with caution.
The recruiting sweetspot is somewhere in the middle, right at the 2-3 year mark. Give them a call!
Social Network SHiftA passive candidate’s behavior may change: watch for location modi�cations, changes to company connections and an uptick in social and professional network activity.
Paying attention to a candidate's changing activity on sites like GitHub and Stack Over�ow can be valuable. If there is a sudden spike in activity, this could be an important signal of availability.
Recruiters, sourcers and HR professionals gain tremendous value from using next-generation "social evidence" tools. Entelo's Sonar searches more than 300 million pro�les to see who's most likely to move. A few other tools that detect movements include BullHorn's Radar and LinkedIn Signals.
