Recruitment is itself a multilayers activity in which candidate sourcing is a huge challenge comprising of identification, assessment, and engagement of talented candidates through positive recruiting methodologies. HR department has to go locate potential candidates through various channels, online and offline.
If passive candidate sourcing is the area which always gives your organization an unsteady experience, the subsequent points would help you know them:
Short and Sweet
Keep the message under 500 characters to improve the response rates on InMails. Candidates must be already receiving many emails and if your mail is also one of the long written emails, it would do no wonder. Keep your emails shorter to grab an immediate attention.
Group Think
If you want to avoid common InMail limitations, you need to connect with groups that might be interested. This way, you can connect with a LinkedIn Group and send a message to a member regarding a job opportunity.
Search Term
When you are making any search on LinkedIn, try to experiment different ways to spell your titles. For example, music director might be listed as music dir, or music directr. Moreover, try to shuffle the title phrases like you can search “Team Leader” as “Leader Team”, “Leader of Team etc.
Search Unsearched
Recruiters usually approach candidates appearing on the initial search results. Candidates appearing on the initial pages must be already bombarded with emails. Try to target people appearing after the tenth page. Probably, they don’t match with your search terms most appropriately, but they might turn into your potential candidates.
Search, Modify, Repeat
First, start searching with primary keywords. As you start getting good candidates with primary keywords, start searching with keywords which you usually find while screening candidates’ resume. For example, skillsets, specific training or programs which help candidates become able to perform the job which you are looking for. It would expand your search possibilities.
If you follow the above points would help you follow a better passive candidate sourcing strategy for Linkedin.
