Want Better Candidates? Stop Waiting for Them to Apply.
Passive candidates are the most valuable. Learn how AdHound’s JobSeekerID helps recruiters and HR pros uncover hidden talent using digital marketing tactics.
Let’s Be Honest: The Best Candidates Aren’t Applying.
They’re already employed. They’re not scrolling job boards. They’re not desperate. And that’s exactly why you want them.
Passive candidates are the gold standard in recruiting. They have experience. They’re already producing value. And when they’re ready to make a move, they’re looking for growth, not just a paycheck.
According to Recruiter.com, 73% of the job market is made up of passive candidates. So if your recruitment strategy only targets active applicants, you’re leaving your best hires on the table.
That’s where we come in.
From Digital Ads to Digital Recruiting: How AdHound is Changing the Hiring Game
At AdHound, we’ve spent years helping businesses grow through smarter digital marketing. But lately, we’ve been seeing a new kind of win – helping recruiters and HR teams find the right candidates faster.
Enter JobSeekerID.
What is JobSeekerID?
JobSeekerID is our new solution for uncovering hidden talent in your own digital backyard. It identifies 30 to 50% of the anonymous visitors who land on your Jobs page, even if they don’t apply.
Let’s say your Careers page gets 500 visits per month. That’s about 25 real applicants, based on the national average apply rate of 5%.
With JobSeekerID, we can identify 150 to 250 additional potential candidates, complete with contact and demographic info.
Your team gets those leads delivered daily, in real time. And we don’t stop there.
We nurture and re-engage them with:
- A five-step email sequence
- Facebook and Instagram retargeting ads
- Direct mail postcards that get noticed
Why This Matters for HR and Talent Teams
This isn’t just about more names on a list. It’s about better-fit candidates and a better hiring experience. Here’s what you gain:
- Less competition: These candidates aren’t on every recruiter’s radar.
- Less pressure: You can take your time making the right hire.
- More experience: Passive talent is often already skilled, working, and proven.
- Stronger fit: They’re choosing your company, not settling for it.
And because they’re not in “interview mode,” you’ll often get more honest answers and a clearer read during your hiring process.
Let’s Find the Talent You’re Missing
Recruiting isn’t just about filling seats. It’s about finding people who will move your business forward. With JobSeekerID, we help you do just that.
