What is a passive candidate? A passive candidate is someone who is not looking for a job, but would be open to taking one if the right opportunity came along. Passive candidates make up more than 2/3 of the available talent pool.
What is an active candidate? Active candidates are either employed and actively seeking an new job or out of work and looking. They make up less than 1/3 of the available talent pool.
Why cant I just search for active candidates. Because passive candidates greatly outnumber active candidates by more than 3 to 1. Searching only for active candidates will limit you to less than 1/3 of the available talent pool. Often, the best hospitality professionals rarely have to find a job, the job finds them! Our passive candidate search uses the best tools to find you both passive and active candidates.
Why do I need Hospitalio to find passive candidates? To be the best, you have to recruit the best available people for your vacancy. It is rare for someone working in hotel operations to be able to spare 40-50 hours per vacancy to search for talent. This is what we do and we do it very well!
But retained searches are expensive? Our fees are still based on contingency (active searches), making them very affordable.
All we ask is commitment from our clients they give us 30 days exclusivity and a flat fee 1000 USD retainer at the start of the search.
No additional retainers are required and you can cancel the search at any time and no additional fees will be due.
Why is Hospitalio able to offer low contingency search rates on a passive candidate search? Because we have tools available to us that give us a huge advantage over our competitors and allow us to operate more effeciently.
