📍 Sourcing Tip — Day 150

Use Candidate Growth Signals to Prioritize Outreach 📈

Not all candidates should be approached the same way.
Some show clear signals of growth — meaning they are more open to new opportunities and likely to respond. 🕵️

🚦 What Are Growth Signals?

Growth signals are small but powerful indicators that a candidate is actively learning, improving, or preparing for the next career step.

✅ Key Growth Signals to Track

➡️ Recent Certifications
If someone just completed AWS, PMP, Six Sigma, or a new tech course — they are likely preparing for advancement.

➡️ Job Title Progression
A candidate who moved from Analyst → Senior Analyst → Lead shows ambition and readiness for bigger roles.

➡️ New Project Announcements
Candidates who just posted about leading a new project or initiative display confidence and capability.

➡️ Upskilling Patterns
Regular course completions, hackathons, workshops, or training show that they are hungry for growth.

👉 Why It Works

Candidates demonstrating growth signals are: 👇

✅ More career-focused

✅ More engaged on platforms

✅ More likely to respond to recruiters

✅ A better long-term talent match

🎯 Recruiter Action Step

Prioritize outreach to candidates showing 2 or more growth signals — your response rate will jump significantly.
