They\u2019re <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">passive candidates<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 generally satisfied with where they are but open to hearing about their next great opportunity. Figuring out how to attract passive candidates, however, can be a challenge. What activates those with a steady gig to look at a new opportunity?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/business.linkedin.com\/talent-solutions\/job-trends\/2016-talent-trends-home\/2016-uk-talent-trends\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LinkedIn\u2019s UK Talent Trends report<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> says 86 percent of UK professionals are interested in hearing about new job opportunities. But only about a third are actively looking; the rest is where you can find your knockout candidates \u2014 if you connect with them the right way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is how to attract passive candidates on LinkedIn.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Talk About Opportunities, Not Positions<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People who need a new job put all their emphasis on finding the job. People who don\u2019t need a job can bide their time until something perfect comes along \u2014 and that\u2019s not a job or a position, but an opportunity. When you reach out to candidates on LinkedIn, talking about opportunities clearly and compellingly will get them to sit up and take notice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sending a LinkedIn recruitment message about an open position isn\u2019t enough \u2014 instead, offer specific details about the opportunities the position can deliver. Those opportunities could include stretch goals on an accelerated timeline, increased impact on an organisation, greater recognition, or advancement opportunities. This approach can get passive candidates to start thinking about a change.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class='tm-tweet-clear'><\/div>\n<div class='tm-click-to-tweet'>\n<div class='tm-ctt-text'><a href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Reaching+out+to+passive+candidates%3F+Talk+about+opportunities%2C+not+positions&#038;url=https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/uk\/blog\/attract-passive-candidates-linkedin\/' target='_blank'>Reaching out to passive candidates?

But if you don\u2019t say why you\u2019re contacting them on LinkedIn, passive candidates will wonder how you found them or what caught your eye, and that can plant seeds of doubt about the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In your first contact, be upfront about what made them stand out to you. It might be a specific experience, accomplishment, or career trajectory. A sentence or two about what makes them special will help them understand why the opportunity you\u2019re offering is a good one.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class='tm-tweet-clear'><\/div>\n<div class='tm-click-to-tweet'>\n<div class='tm-ctt-text'><a href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Explain+your+reasoning+when+reaching+out+to+candidates+on+%23LinkedIn&#038;url=https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/uk\/blog\/attract-passive-candidates-linkedin\/' target='_blank'>Explain your reasoning when reaching out to candidates on #LinkedIn<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Explain+your+reasoning+when+reaching+out+to+candidates+on+%23LinkedIn&#038;url=https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/uk\/blog\/attract-passive-candidates-linkedin\/' target='_blank' class='tm-ctt-btn'>Click To Tweet<\/a><\/p>\n<div class='tm-ctt-tip'><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Be Transparent<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After hearing about an opportunity, a passive candidate is going to want to know more about you.

Each new position you have to fill turns into a new search \u2014 and that wastes time and effort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, invest your time in building relationships on LinkedIn.
