Find a better job without really trying
If you recoil from networking events and never get around to putting out feelers, congratulations! You're the ideal candidate for a terrific new job. In human-resources lingo, you're a "passive" prospect -- and a hot commodity these days because employers know that top workers may not be actively looking around.
So-called passive recruiting isn't new, of course. It's what executive recruiters have always done. But the tactic is increasingly being used for positions lower down the corporate ladder, a trend being facilitated by giant databases of employment data gleaned from publicly available sources. Companies use all of this info to sift for high-quality passive prospects.
The industry leader, ZoomInfo in Waltham, Mass., has 27 million profiles in its database. You're probably in there. And if you aren't, you should be. More than a fifth of the Fortune 500 companies, including Pfizer, Sony and Microsoft, use these outfits as part of their recruiting process. "It's a great hiring tool," says Suzanne Villar of Alliance Enterprise Group, a Louisiana recruiting firm. "I can get detailed results based on all sorts of search criteria, so it's easy to come up with a pool of potential candidates."
