Why High-Level Achievers Are Rarely Actively Job Hunting
By: Richard Butz

Recruiting high-level achievers is difficult, mainly because those individuals are not actively looking for a job, but they are always open to the right opportunity if it represents a true career enhancement.

Fact: There are very few unemployed high-level achievers.

That reality creates a major challenge for organizations trying to hire exceptional talent using traditional recruiting methods. The strongest candidates are rarely scrolling job boards or submitting applications – they’re already employed, performing at a high level, and selective about what comes next.

Are You Struggling to Find Top Talent?

You may benefit from partnering with our Talent Acquisition Practice if you are:

  • Unimpressed with the quality or quantity of candidates in your current talent pool
  • Feeling pressured to choose from the “best of the worst” instead of hiring the “best of the best”
  • Facing the challenge of identifying and recruiting passive candidates who are not actively on the job market

Hiring high-level achievers requires a proactive, relationship-driven approach—not just postings and resumes.
