PASSIVE CANDIDATE SEARCH

Finding someone with the right experience isn't always easy.

You know the skills and experience your business needs. The difficult part is finding someone who has them.

Perhaps you've advertised your vacancy but haven't attracted the calibre of applicants you were hoping for.

Or you're looking for someone with specialist knowledge, technical skills or experience that isn't easy to find.

The problem is that many of the people you're looking for are already employed.

They're not necessarily searching job boards, updating their CVs or applying for vacancies.

But that doesn't mean they wouldn't consider a new opportunity.

That's where we come in.

Our Passive Search service takes recruitment beyond job advertisements and applications.

We actively research the market to identify experienced people whose backgrounds match your requirements, including those who may not currently be looking for another job.

We then approach suitable individuals to establish whether they'd be interested in hearing more about your opportunity.

£695 fixed price. No placement fees.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

We don't just wait for candidates to apply.
We go looking for them.

For £695, Passive Search combines everything included in our Candidate Search service with additional research and targeted outreach to experienced professionals.

We look beyond the people actively applying for jobs to identify others whose skills and experience could make them suitable for your vacancy.

Here's what we'll do for you.

01

Everything included in Candidate Search

We'll search professional CV databases, advertise your vacancy on our website for 30 days, allocate £50 towards Google Ads and personally review applications.

We'll also arrange a progress review around Day 14 and conduct a second CV database search.

02

Research up to 50 professional profiles

We'll research up to 50 professional profiles to identify people whose skills, experience and career backgrounds could match your vacancy.

This includes experienced professionals who may already be employed and aren't actively looking for another job.

03

Identify and approach suitable professionals

We'll assess the profiles against your requirements and, where appropriate contact details are available, email suitable individuals to introduce your opportunity and invite them to express an interest.

04

Build your private online shortlist

We'll create a private online shortlist to track the potentially suitable professionals identified through our research, including those contacted and any responses received.

You'll have 60 days' access to your private shortlist, giving you time to review potential candidates and make recruitment decisions.

We'll share candidate details with you where appropriate, including obtaining consent where required.

05

Review the results together

We'll discuss the progress of your search, review the response to our outreach and consider whether adjustments could help identify additional suitable candidates.

And what does that mean for your business?

You're no longer relying solely on people seeing your advertisement and deciding to apply.

We're actively looking for people with the experience you need and making them aware of your opportunity.

You decide who you'd like to take forward.

WHY CHOOSE PASSIVE SEARCH?

The right person for your business may already be working for someone else.

Some of the most experienced people in your industry aren't actively looking for another job.

They're busy doing their jobs, building their careers and gaining valuable experience.

They may be perfectly happy where they are. But sometimes, the right opportunity can make someone reconsider their future.

The challenge is knowing where to find these people and how to approach them.

That's where recruitment experience makes a difference.

We understand how to research professional backgrounds, recognise relevant experience and identify people who might be worth approaching.

Rather than relying entirely on applications, we take a more proactive approach to finding potential candidates.

You know the experience your business needs. We know how to look for the people who may have it.

GETTING STARTED

It starts with a conversation.

Before we begin searching, we'd like to understand more about your business, the vacancy you're trying to fill and the experience you're looking for.

We'll discuss the difficulties you've encountered finding suitable candidates and whether approaching experienced professionals who aren't actively looking for work could help.

It's also an opportunity for you to ask questions and for us to explain how our Passive Search service works, including the research, candidate outreach and private shortlist.

We'll be straightforward about what we believe we can achieve and whether this is the right approach for your vacancy.

If we're confident we can help, we'll agree the next steps, confirm the fixed price and arrange payment before work begins.

No pressure. No obligation. Just a straightforward conversation about your recruitment needs.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A few things you might want to know.

What happens if nobody responds to your emails?

We'll make every reasonable effort to identify and approach professionals whose experience appears relevant to your vacancy.

However, we can't guarantee that someone will respond positively or be interested in changing jobs.

Our commitment is to carry out the agreed research and outreach professionally, rather than promise a particular number of interested candidates.

We'll keep you informed about the results and discuss whether any adjustments could improve your search.

Does the £695 include everything in Candidate Search?

Yes. Passive Search includes everything provided through our £395 Candidate Search service.

This includes CV database searching, a professional job advertisement on our website for 30 days, £50 towards Google Ads, personal review of applications and a progress review around Day 14.

In addition, we'll research up to 50 professional profiles, approach suitable individuals by email and build your private online shortlist.

Will you contact all 50 professionals?

Not necessarily.

We'll research up to 50 professional profiles, but we'll only approach individuals whose experience appears relevant to your vacancy and for whom appropriate contact details are available.

We'd rather contact fewer, more suitable people than send emails to individuals who are unlikely to meet your requirements.

How long will I have access to my private shortlist?

You'll have access to your private online shortlist for 60 days from the start of your recruitment campaign.

Your campaign runs for 30 days, but your shortlist remains available for a further 30 days, giving you additional time to review potential candidates and make recruitment decisions.

The shortlist will show the progress of our research and outreach. Candidate details will be shared where appropriate and in accordance with data protection requirements.

How long does Passive Search take?

Your recruitment campaign runs for 30 days.

Once we've discussed your vacancy, agreed the requirements and received payment, we'll prepare your campaign.

Your campaign will begin within two working days of receiving payment and your complete vacancy brief.

We'll conduct the agreed searches and outreach during the campaign, review progress with you around Day 14 and forward suitable applications as they arrive.

Are there any additional fees if I employ someone?

No. Passive Search costs £695, payable before work begins.

The price includes the £50 Google Ads budget, research of up to 50 professional profiles and 60 days' access to your private online shortlist.

There are no additional placement fees if you employ someone introduced through our service.
