Briscoe Search & Consulting are one of the only providers in Australia that can genuinely offer the combination of executive search and traditional talent acquisition services to allow you, the client, to select the best talent; our approach penetrating both the Active and Passive candidate marketplace as mentioned on our Client Services page.
Active vs. Passive Candidate Marketplace A recent Yahoo! Sponsored survey confirmed what the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics found: that fewer than one out of five people were actively seeking a job. That means that over 80% of American workers are passive prospects.
Weddles.com, renowned people management industry research group In our experience, the standard “Advertising / Networking” approach taken by most of our competitors will only unearth a small percentage of these candidates – whom we refer to as “Active Candidates”, people who are in the market for work at that particular time. It is only through an intelligent and exhaustive search process that we can uncover the larger market of “Passive Candidates”. This demographic will usually not read the various job advertisement media with any interest or intent and therefore require a more targeted approach. Knowing this statistic, it's easy to understand why our approach carries so much success.
