Outbound recruiting

Recruiting is no longer posting a job vacancy and waiting for applicants to come in. To build a great company, you need to approach talents and do your very best to convince them to join your company.

Outbound recruiting is critical because it allows companies to proactively search for and reach out to potential candidates who may not be actively looking for a job. This expands the candidate pool beyond those who have applied to the job posting and can lead to finding highly qualified candidates who may not have otherwise been considered. Additionally, outbound recruiting can help companies build relationships with potential candidates and establish a pipeline of talent for future hiring needs.

OCV companies are expected to leverage external recruiters and internal networks for outbound recruiting.
