The pond is where active candidates are & they generally bite quickly on your fishing line where the competition is fierce.
The Ocean is where your passive candidates are, & they can be slow to bite on your line but your competition is much less
Searching forRight People
• Fishing Talent
The concept of attracting passive candidates is more relevant for companies looking for highly talented people. Because they are the ones who are not searching for a job.

Thought of the Day
Yesterday is already a dream,
tomorrow is only a vision of hope,
but a well lived today makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow
a vision of hope
Thought of the Day
When you were born, you were crying and
everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so at the end, you are the one
who is smiling and everyone around you is
crying.
Thought of the Day
Don't marry a person
whom you can live with
Marry a person
whom you cannot live without
Thought of the day
God has given you
a face
but you have to give
the expression
Thought of the Day
As someone rightly said:
“Anyone can be polite to a King, it takes a
gentleman/Lady to be polite to a beggar’
Thank you
