How to Find Candidates Who Are "Open to New Opportunities"?

Pro Tips:

Use "Has High Availability" under "All Filters-Profile details". 

hireEZ's candidate availability is driven and calculated by data and AI algorithms. This estimation also uses private and public information as well as the candidate's experience and how often he/she starts a new job, how active he/she is on career and social websites, and so forth.

You will find an "Analytics" section under each candidate profile indicating the level of availability. Those that have a long bar (normally over 80%) will be reckoned as highly available candidates.

Select "Sort by Availability" when screening candidates. This drop-down menu is available both on the Search Results page and on the Good Fit page.

Add targeted phrases to the Keywords section.

This is a great way to target candidates who have openly stated somewhere on their public profiles when they’re searching for new jobs.

Here is a list of various phrases that you can use when sourcing candidates who are seeking new opportunities. You can apply OR logic or use a Boolean String if you want to add multiple phrases to the section:

Actively Seeking A New Role

Actively Seeking New Job

Actively Seeking New Opportunities

Available For New Contract

Available For New Opportunities

Available For New Opportunity

Looking For A Contract Position

Looking For A Full-Time Position

Looking For A New Opportunity

Open To New Opportunities

Open For New Opportunities

Seeking A New Job

Seeking A Full-Time Position

Seeking New Contract Position

Seeking New Contract Role

Search these phrases in the Job Titles filter. Similar to option #3, this search will capture candidates who state they’re “open” or “looking” or “seeking” in their job title.

If you're still having a hard time finding candidates, you can broaden your search by adding shorter phrases or key terms in the Keywords section. As shown in the screenshot here, hireEZ will search for candidates who have mentioned these phrases in their profiles.

This should still be accurate and increase your candidate pool drastically. You may use the list of terms below to broaden the search. Likewise, you can apply Boolean logic when having more than one phrase in the section.

Put your market knowledge in action. If you are aware of a company/companies or any industries having layoffs, do a quick search finding candidates from the specific companies/industries using the Companies filter.
