Reach Candidates Others MissHidden Talent Found Through Passive Candidate Sourcing📍 Austin, Chicago, Phoenix🧠 #HiddenTalent #SourcingPower

“You’re only getting half the market.”

Most hiring teams focus their efforts on active candidates—those actively applying for jobs or posting résumés online. But here’s the truth: some of the best people aren’t looking. They’re excelling in roles, not browsing job boards, and not responding to recruiters—unless your outreach stands out.

That’s the edge we bring: we find and engage passive candidates that others miss.

Active vs. Passive: Why Passive Talent Wins
Let’s break it down:

Active candidates are job-seeking, often fielding offers or applying to multiple companies.

Passive candidates aren’t actively looking. They’re not on job boards. But with the right message and opportunity, they’re open to moving.

And here’s the kicker: passive candidates tend to be more experienced, more qualified, and more selective—because they can be.

Where We Search: Beyond the Obvious
We go where others don’t. Our team uses Boolean-powered, custom sourcing strategies to dig deep into:

Niche forums & GitHub profiles

Alumni networks & hidden databases

LinkedIn, but with laser-precise filters

Private Slack communities, tech events, and localized groups

It’s not just about the tools—it’s how we use them. Every search is customized, and every candidate list is exclusive.

Win Stories from the Field
We’ve uncovered hidden talent in key markets where competition is fierce and candidates are scarce:

✅ Austin – Helped a fintech startup land a senior product designer who hadn’t touched their LinkedIn in 8 months
✅ Chicago – Found a machine learning lead for a stealth-mode startup via research paper citations and alumni connections
✅ Phoenix – Delivered a full pipeline of engineers in under 2 weeks using Boolean targeting and custom outreach scripts

Each success proves: you don’t need to settle for who’s available—you can aim for who’s exceptional.
