71% of workers admit to active job searching
or at least openness to a new opportunity
72% of US companies recruit passive talentSource: US Recruiting Trends 2015, LinkedIn Talent Solutions
Yet, their overall strategy may be flawed:
• Only 13% said that more than 50% of their
hires were passive candidates.
• 70% are reporting under 20% of their hires are coming from employee referrals.
• Only 21% proactively cold call candidates.Source: The Novo Group, Corporate Recruitment Benchmark Survey

A: Unlike Reference USA and Mergent which profile

Thomas examines products. No “Top” lists but
provides distributors and manufacturers of products
as well as competitor products (ex brand/Tyvek or

Our Tax Dollars At Work
Our client needed to know chemical
plants within # production power
and NAICS code in a certain location.
Online searches not cutting it?
Try the EPA!
http://iaspub.epa.gov/triexplorer/tri_release.facility
A search on an EPA database to record chemical emissions can
give us location, industry, size of plant by emissions released –
as well as names and contact numbers. Don’t forget Uncle Sam!

If we’ll call individuals whom we find on LI,
who apply online or are referred to us,
shouldn’t we also ID the entire teams to
recruit the best-performers on those teams?
Isn’t this what our Clients expect of us?
Don’t be shy…our competitors aren’t!
This is our strategic imperative.
