How to expand a candidate pool for a hard-to-fill role
When a search keeps coming back empty, check the definition before you blame the market. A role described too narrowly misses the people who could do it. This tool helps you widen the pool on purpose, without lowering the bar.
Search the titles people actually have
The same job is "Talent Partner" at one company and "Recruiter II" at another. Adding the other titles is usually the fastest way to find people you are missing.
Look one step over
People doing closely related work can often do this one. Treat these as names to discuss with your hiring manager, not confirmed fits.
Question the requirements that shrink the pool
"Seven years" and one specific tool name can remove a lot of people who could do the job. Bring the ones worth questioning to your next intake conversation, with the tradeoff for each.
