Most Workers Are Available to Recruit

Employers tend to think that only about 20 percent of employees at other companies are "available" to recruit. But Monster says the truth is nearly the opposite. Finding Keepers breaks out three types of candidates:

Settled loyalists (about 30% of workers) are happy where they are and hard to displace.

Poised Loyalists (about 11% of workers) are happy but could be enticed to move.

Poised Opportunists (about 59% of workers) are actively looking. They've posted their resumes, will apply for your job, and are amenable to job offers.
