Sourcing Passive Candidates by Skill & Tenure

Build a passive-candidate pool filtered by skills, seniority, and time-in-role, so you reach people who aren't job-hunting but would move for the right pitch.

The best hires usually are not looking. This workflow surfaces passive candidates by skill and tenure, the people about to be open to a move.

The workflow, step by step

  1. 1
    Search by skills and roleUse People Search with skills and current_employers.title, plus years_of_experience_raw for the seniority you want.
  2. 2
    Filter by tenureTarget people with 2 to 4 years at their current company (current_employers.years_at_company_raw), the window when most people start listening.
  3. 3
    Exclude who you cannot touchUse fuzzy negation (the (!) operator) to drop wrong titles or competitor employees you are not allowed to poach.
  4. 4
    Enrich the finalistsVerified emails and phones for the shortlist only.
