Passive candidates are often high performers currently employed elsewhere. They are not scanning job boards, so they require proactive outreach. Zoho Recruit allows recruiters to add passive candidates to the pool from LinkedIn or manual entry, tag them with relevant skills and roles, and nurture them with targeted emails until a suitable role opens.
Recruiters can create saved searches in the candidate pool that surface passive candidates matching a future opening’s requirements. Email templates in Zoho Recruit can be used to send personalised outreach. When a passive candidate expresses interest, they can be linked to an open Job Opening and moved into the active pipeline.
A Passive Candidate in Zoho Recruit is someone not actively job hunting who is stored in the candidate pool for future outreach. They are typically sourced from LinkedIn or referrals and nurtured until a suitable role opens.
Passive candidates can be added manually, imported via the LinkedIn browser extension, or added from resume import. They are tagged with relevant skills and a note about their availability so recruiters can filter and reach out when an appropriate opening arises.
