Passive candidates are (kinda) waiting to hear from you…

Hey, recruiter and HR folks…. you know that passive candidates are, well, passive. And they’re not always going to pick up the phone and return your call, or hit “reply” to your email.

So you need to be smart about how you make the most out of your relationship with passive candidates.

The easiest way to keep in touch with professionals who aren’t looking right now is with MyPipeline from TheLadders. And the easiest way to do that is go to your homepage right now and drop a line to your followers.

You see, with just 140 characters, you can get your message out to dozens, or hundreds, or thousands, or millions, of the passive candidates who are signed up on TheLadders and use MyPipeline to listen to HR and recruiting folks like you. They may not be looking today, but they’ve learned (boy have they learned!) that they need to keep an eye on the market… “just in case.”

So you need to be clever about how you get your message out. And MyPipeline lets you be clever.
