The "Out-of-the Box" Candidate

Occasionally, a recruiter will say they are including an “Out-of-the-box” candidate – which is usually someone from outside the industry.

Why do recruiters put in someone like this – there’s lots of reasons (client request, recruiter knows the person being submitted very well, etc.)

After being submitted as one of the candidates, someone asked me “How often does the out-of-the-box candidate get hired?”. My response was simple, “More often than the candidate who never got in front of the client”.

Good luck today!
