70% of LinkedIn users are passive candidates. These professionals are
not actively looking for a new role, but are open to discussions with a
recruiter about a job opportunity.
Think about incorporating a passive recruiting strategy to make use of
this talent pool when looking for new hires.
LinkedIn is an excellent way to research and attract
passive talent. Build your brand on LinkedIn to
ensure that you are top of mind when talent starts
looking for a new opportunity.
