PROBLEMS WE SOLVE: The Posting & Praying Trap: Why “Inbound Only” Recruiting Is a Recipe for Mediocrity

Still relying on the “post and pray” method—throwing up a job ad and waiting for magic to happen? Here’s the harsh truth: if your hiring strategy is built on hope, you’re not recruiting—you’re gambling. The only thing inbound-only recruiting guarantees is a pile of unqualified resumes and a calendar full of wasted interviews (likely).

Why the Old Model Fails:
While those who post likely also use their coveted database to send a few bounced emails through the outlook wizard, or heck, maybe it’s connected to Marketing Cloud… with a gigantic lack of data integrity derived by 20k+ entry level recruiters and high performers who don’t document… with a lil’ LinkedIn sprinkled in:

• Hope is not a strategy: Posting and waiting leaves you at the mercy of whoever happens to be looking—not who you actually want or need.
• Outbound is non-negotiable: Recruiting is a contact sport. If you’re not actively engaging talent, you’re invisible to the 70%+ of high-performing candidates who never apply cause they aren’t viewing your copy/paste that commands 7 years in something that’s been around for 5 years.
• Shallow market coverage: The best people aren’t scrolling job boards—they’re busy excelling elsewhere, completely missed by passive approaches.
• Zero market intelligence: No mapping, no insight, no control—just guesswork and disappointment.
