4 WAYS TO CONVINCE EXPERIENCED, PASSIVE CANDIDATES TO JOIN YOUR COMPANY.
As a hiring manager, we are sure you may have come across situations where you find a highly qualified candidate who will be good for your organization but is not keen on leaving his current employer unless he gets a “Wow Offer from a Wow Company”.
For this category of candidates, it is not easy to get them interested in your offer especially if your organization is not bigger, more prestigious or pays considerably more than his current employer.
It would be difficult to get him to join because;
– He earns more than your company can offer
– He earns equal to the most your company can
– Your organization is obviously less known or prestigious than his current employer
What Can You Do to Win Such Candidate?
- Find Current Compensation/Remuneration Package: Find out all your organization offers that his current employer does not (welfare, work culture, remote work, flexibility etc). Find an edge your company has over his current employer. This is part of a good way to start wooing such a candidate.
- Position/Title: Can you create a more prestigious title/position/designation for him? If you can manage to do this you stand a chance as most people want to leave their current job to a bigger one and are looking for more prestigious title/designation with new advanced work exposure.
- Give Bonuses / Perks: Can anything be done about the flexible aspects of his remuneration? Like bonuses, profit share, share ownership, etc
- Create a career leap: He has to see that moving means at least a 15% advancement in his career. If you cannot create a career gap for him to see clearly you could win such a candidate.
