Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find qualified candidates for my community?
You can find qualified candidates by using Passivae's search and filter tools. Refine your search based on criteria such as skills, experience, location, and industry to identify potential candidates who match your requirements. You can also explore other online platforms, such as LinkedIn, to find and invite qualified professionals to your community.
Can candidates find and join my community on their own?
Yes, candidates can find and request to join your community, but you, as the recruiter, have the final say on who becomes a member. You'll receive a notification when a candidate requests to join, and you can then review their profile and decide whether to approve or deny their request.
