Some of the best candidates for your open role may not be actively applying to jobs. FactoryFix's empowers your AI recruiter to find and engage these valuable passive candidates on your behalf.
How to Enable Passive Candidate Sourcing
When posting or editing a job, you'll configure your AI recruiter's sourcing strategy. To enable this feature, simply select:
- "Active Job Seekers + Passive Candidates"
This single setting instructs your AI recruiter to go beyond processing inbound applicants and to start proactively hunting for talent within FactoryFix's network of over 2 million skilled trades professionals.
How Passive Candidate Sourcing Works
Once enabled, your AI recruiter works tirelessly behind the scenes:
- Identifies Potential Matches: It searches the talent pool for candidates whose skills and experience align with your job requirements.
- Prioritizes the Best Fits: It pre-scores all potential matches, considering their qualifications and how recently they've been active on the platform. Each day, it selects the highest-potential candidates to contact first.
- Initiates Personalized Outreach: Your AI recruiter sends a personalized message via SMS and email to gauge the candidate's interest in a new opportunity.
- Conducts an Initial Screening: If the candidate responds positively, your AI recruiter engages them in a brief, natural conversation to confirm key qualifications and interest. It might ask 1-3 targeted questions to verify their fit.
- Delivers Qualified, Interested Candidates: Candidates who complete this initial conversation and express interest are moved to the 'Engaged' stage of your pipeline, ready for you to review. The AI recruiter's assessment and the full conversation are available for you.
Candidates who are contacted but do not respond, or are not interested, remain in the 'Outreach' stage of your pipeline for your reference.
Passive candidate sourcing turns your AI recruiter from a simple processor of applications into a proactive sourcing partner, ensuring you don't miss out on top talent just because they aren't looking at job boards.
