Let Team Tangerine Do the Heavy Lifting
Tech roles are coming in strong after a year of heavy hiring across operations and marketing. Folks in engineering are back in demand, and at the start of 2025, it looks like the war for top talent will be back in full swing. Get ahead on your upcoming hiring initiatives and partner with Tangerine Search. We're at the ready, always attracting new talent to fill even the most complex roles across a competitive landscape.
Did You Know ... ?
Passive candidates represent an untapped resource during Q4. According to LinkedIn, 70% of the global workforce is made up of passive talent.
Now is a good time to engage passive candidates, many of whom are reflecting on personal and professional goals. People are more open to recruitment conversations and have greater flexibility to engage with our recruiters over the break.
Holiday branding is a hit during this time of year. Whether it's via your company website or social media, leverage your digital channels to highlight competitive benefits and unique company perks. Working with our team, you get personalized outreach and messaging to your target candidate market. We're more than just assistance in recruiting, we supercharge your employee brand!
Where & How Do Candidates Search?
Job boards are just one of the factors job seekers consider when searching for new opportunities. The top channels job seekers look to are online job boards, social professional networks (like LinkedIn) and word of mouth including employee referrals and working with recruiters (like us!).
The driving levers for candidates accepting a new job are compensation, professional development and better work/life balance. It's a combination of career and monetary fulfillment AND personal gratification.
Plus, according to LinkedIn, 89% of talent says being contacted by their recruiter can make them accept a job offer faster!
May the Odds Be Ever In Your Favor
A final note to keep in mind is FEEDBACK. Candidates respond very well to interviewer feedback. In fact, when you offer constructive feedback, talent is 4x more likely to consider a future opportunity. A whopping 94% of talent wants to receive interview feedback, but only 41% have received feedback during the interview process in the past. This is a great way to stand out head and shoulders above the competition from an employer standpoint.
We hope these holiday tips have been helpful as you plan out the rest of the year and move swiftly into 2025!
