Candidate Universe Explained

  The "Long List" of Possible Candidates

 

The Candidate Universe Explained


 

 

For every open position, a number of people can meet some basic qualifications and can be considered worthy of further investigation. This group is called the Candidate Universe and creating this long list of conceivable candidates is the first step of every search. 

The size of the Candidate Universe will vary tremendously by many factors: job type, industry, geography, organization and hiring manager requirements. Roles in finance, IT and HR can often consider candidates from across industries since skills are more transferable. Whereas specialized fields like sales and scientific research have much smaller Candidate Universes since the skills are not as transferable -- great sales managers of cosmetics do not necessarily make great sellers of heavy machinery, in other words. 

As well, a hiring manager who only wants to consider candidates from his industry will have a smaller Candidate Universe compared to one who wishes to "bring in outside ideas" to his organization.  

 

MANAGEMENT RULE

The creation of the Candidate Universe is the first step of every management search.  

  

 

Stability Separates Candidates

 

Candidates in every Candidate Universe can be divided into 3 categories relating to the stability of their employment relationships. The size of each group can be best understood by placing all candidates in the Candidate Universe Triangle as below.

Candidate Universe - Active vs Passive Candidates

 

 

Passive Candidates 
(60% to 70% of Candidate Universe)

The top group of candidates has a history of long-term employment relationships with employers and are mainly happy and successful in their current positions.  They are usually at more mature phases of their careers and most senior managers fit into this group. Such people do not send resumes to job postings or employment agencies, nor do they attend career fairs. They are often more to be highly concerned about confidentiality of their employment information.  

MANAGEMENT RULE 

Management level candidates are generally stable and don't send their resumes to job postings, career fairs and other non-confidential services.

 

 

 
Semi-Active Job-Seekers 
(20% - 30% of Candidate Universe)

The middle group of candidates are employed but still seeking other job opportunities. It may be that they are not doing well and are fearful of losing their jobs. Or, they may be unstable in their careers and change jobs frequently. Semi-Active Job Seekers tend to research job postings regularly and send resumes intermittently.  They often become friends with employment agency staff and call them regularly for updates on the job market.  This group of candidates are often at less mature stages of their careers that those above.  


Active Job-Seekers
(5% to 10% of Candidate Universe)

The smallest group of candidates are motivated job-seekers who are either unemployed or soon will be. Young people looking for their first jobs usually fit this category as do those whose employment was terminated for various reasons. For most Active Job-Seekers, finding a new job is their full-time occupation. They send resumes to employment agencies, respond to job postings, attend career fairs and spend time online with social networking websites. Active Job-Seekers are usually in the early stages of their careers although more mature candidates enter this category when economic times are depressed.

MANAGEMENT RULE 

Junior level candidates tend to be less stable and easier to reach through services such as job postings, career fairs and general employment agencies.
