Are you looking for another way to find passive candidates? As a recruiter, who isn’t? Passive-Candidates.com does just that for you. This site is free for recruiters to find resumes that have been posted on the web, usually as personal web pages. The site looks easy to use, and well, it is! As the website says, it’s “The search engine that grows each time it’s searched”.

For every one resume you share with the site, you will get thirty back for free. Here’s how: you do have to do a little work in order to get the thirty free resumes as stated (or less depending on the search results). The site requires you to input the link to a resume that you have found on the Internet (note that your link will be rejected if it is already in their search engine results). If you are doing a search on Google or Yahoo for resumes and come across links, save‚ some results and load‚ them up on Passive-Candidates.com. The resumes that this site gives you in return are ones that have been entered by other recruiters who have used the site before.

This site represents a great way to stumble upon a personal web page of a person who may have posted their resume a few years back and who isn’t actively job searching and putting their resume on job boards for others to find. Even though you may receive some duplicate or outdated‚ resumes, finding passive candidates in this industry is one of the best ways to recruit. The site also respresents a great way to build up a large personal candidate database for free.
