#SourcingTip – Day 38: Explore Reddit to Source Passive Talent

Reddit isn’t just a platform for memes and discussions — it’s a goldmine for recruiters seeking niche, high-quality talent.

Subreddits like r/cscareerquestions, r/UXDesign, r/AskEngineers, or r/analytics are filled with passionate professionals sharing advice, showcasing work, and engaging in peer learning.

💻 These communities often include hidden gems — passive candidates who may not be actively job hunting but are deeply involved in their domain.

✅Why it works: These users show thought leadership, curiosity, and collaboration — all signs of a strong candidate.
✅How to use it: Engage authentically, don’t spam job posts. Start discussions, offer insights, or directly message users who stand out.

Reddit is a modern sourcing frontier where intent meets insight.
