You’re missing 60% of candidates if you’re only using SEEK

missing 60 percent of market

When talent is short your candidate attraction strategy can’t afford to miss anyone! The job seeker market is broken down into ACTIVE, PASSIVE and INACTIVE.
 
ACTIVE professionals are actively looking for a job, either employed or in between roles, searching on job boards, relatively easy to engage and only 20% of the market. 
   
PASSIVE professionals are interested in hearing about opportunities,  reaching out to their networks, not scrolling through 100s of jobs online, wanting more insight than what’s in a job advert and represent 60% of the market.
 

Currently, we have nearly 21,000 local professionals on our database who are passive job seekers. They’re waiting to hear from us. We are creating opportunities for them!   

 

 

As for the INACTIVE, they’re happy, not moving. However, we stay connected. We check-in. We are the first to know when they’re ready to make their next career move. 

 

With this strategy, we are 4x more likely to find the right person
