Recently we stumbled on terms to describe job seekers and we decided to do more investigation into matter to make others aware so they can have the upper hand when recruiting or searching for a job.

A passive job seeker is someone who is not actively looking for work but are open to new opportunities. They are already in the game!

Job seekers who are currently employed are at an advantage, due both to their own resourcefulness as well as existing stereotypes of them already being qualified. Passive candidates are likely to be headhunted, poached or currently employees may recommend them for vacancy. They are often likely to be comfortable in their current jobs so a new opportunity would have to be very attractive. And more often than not that they would want to find a new job before leaving their current position.

Pas..
