Romancing the Passive Candidate

The job market is slowly heating up, and to complicate things, everyone seems to have access to the same candidates, thanks to social networks, job boards, and the internet. Increasingly, one way to locate qualified workers is to call passive candidates—those happily employed and not actively looking, but who might consider jumping ship for extra perks.

Identifying, approaching, and recruiting a passive candidate, however, takes extra time and special training, resources, and skill. This is why many companies rely on their staffing agency partner to handle this aspect of the hiring process. Is pursuing passive candidates really worth the extra effort?

The Power of Affirmation

When you look at many successful people around you, do you find yourself assuming that success came naturally for them? Yet, if you could see behind the scenes of their lives, you might be surprised to learn that they experienced major life struggles, and that the power of affirmation gave them the boost they needed to move forward. Since what we believe strongly influences the way we act, developing an affirmative outlook for yourself and your employees can have a great impact on your organization. Imagine the force of energy that would result if every employee believed that he or she had something unique and vital to contribute to the value of your company! Whether affirmation is used in the form of positive self-talk or to build up those who work with or for us, there’s no doubt that as leaders, we must practice it daily to harness its benefits.
