Reach Candidates Others MissHidden Talent Found – How We Source Passive Candidates No One Else Reaches

“You’re only getting half the market.”

If you’re relying solely on job boards and inbound applicants, you’re overlooking the most valuable half of the talent market: passive candidates.

These are the high performers who aren’t actively job hunting. They’re not scrolling LinkedIn Jobs or hitting “Apply Now.” But under the right conditions — a compelling role, a personalized outreach, and perfect timing — they’ll make a move. And when they do, they become your biggest competitive edge.

Passive vs. Active: Why Passive Wins
Active candidates are raising their hands — but so are dozens of others. It’s crowded, noisy, and transactional.

Passive candidates, on the other hand, are often:

Already excelling in their roles

Selective and more aligned with long-term growth

More likely to be culture-fit and purpose-driven

Harder to reach (unless you know where to look)

We specialize in engaging this untapped pool.

Our Edge: Custom Sourcing Meets Human Insight
Where others automate, we custom source. We build Boolean logic, write personalized outreach, and actively search beyond traditional platforms — from GitHub and Slack to alumni networks and curated communities.

Our sourcing spans:

Austin: Engineers in stealth startups

Chicago: Top revenue talent from non-obvious verticals

Phoenix: Hidden ops talent with scale experience

🔍 It’s not just LinkedIn. It’s real research.
We’ve spent years refining sourcing frameworks that surface:

Under-the-radar industry changers

Career pivoters with untapped upside

Passive professionals with precise skill matches
