Introduction

With today’s competitive talent landscape, proactive recruiting is more important than ever.

Passively waiting for applicants to apply to open roles is no longer enough.

To build a strong talent pipeline, recruiters need to actively search for qualified candidates before the need arises.

This involves identifying potential prospects, even if they are not currently job searching, and nurturing relationships over time.

Proactive sourcing provides many benefits compared to reactive recruiting approaches.

It enables you to discover great candidates before your competitors do.

It gives you a chance to make a strong first impression and build rapport with talent.

When an opening does arise, you already have a network of qualified prospects to tap into right away, rather than starting from scratch.

This results in faster, more efficient hiring when the need arises.
