The ability to connect with passive talent has many benefits for business. Passive talent brings ample opportunity for quality hires by continually widening your talent pool. And a large majority of candidates are only passively looking — a whopping 73%, according to LinkedIn — so it's important to engage them to find the most qualified candidates, even if they're not willing to make the jump to a new company just yet.
When asked by journalists in an interview for the Forbes Human Resources Council regarding passive candidates, Kim Pope, chief operating officer at WilsonHCG, commented that having a culture of transparency is key.
