PASSIVE CANDIDATE

A passive candidate is an individual who is presently employed and not actively seeking new job opportunities. Unlike active job seekers who actively apply for positions, passive candidates are typically content in their current roles and may not be actively engaged in job searches. However, passive candidates are often highly valued in the recruiting process because they are often experienced, skilled, and successful in their current positions. Recruiters actively seek out and engage with passive candidates to explore the possibility of attracting them to new opportunities.
