Passive Candidate
A Passive Candidate is a professional not actively looking for a job but open to compelling opportunities. In India, a significant portion of senior and niche talent falls into this category and can only be reached through headhunting and employee referrals. Engaging passive candidates requires strong employer branding and personalised outreach over time.
