The hidden market - Part2

Why is it better to keep it hidden?
1- Natural selection. Avoid the flood of unqualified candidates that comes with high unemployment. There are more than five job seekers per opening, according to the Labor Department's in the US.

2- Networks trust: Companies rely on their employee to provide referral of the people they trust.

3- Corporate culture. A company is more than just professionals with specific skill-sets: it is above all a team of like-minded people who collaborate at pursuing the same goal. The fit with a new comer is more likely to happen if it comes internal.

4- Building a Talent pool. Companies now understand why having a strong network can improve their business. They want to to integrate and grow deep roots in their  industry. That will not only provide them new hires but a whole networks of opportunities arisen by a live community.
"When employers do advertise, they are much more selective in where they post by utilizing smaller, free sites that are unique to a skill set or a specific market" according to Tig Gilliam, CEO of Adecco Group North America
