What reverse recruiting means here
Reverse recruiting, as used by Nort, describes employers finding professionals and starting a conversation rather than relying only on applications to individual jobs. Candidates decide whether they want to explore the opportunity.
How it works and its limits
- Professionals describe their experience, skills and interests in a profile.
- Employers consider that information against their requirements and may initiate contact.
- Both sides clarify responsibilities, compensation and selection stages before deciding whether to proceed.
Assessments may be part of this process, but they are not a universal requirement of the category. Contact does not guarantee an offer, interview or hire, or remove additional tests. Do not assume other systems accept the results.
Active sourcing concerns finding and contacting professionals; an ATS organizes applications and selection stages. These functions can coexist. The model's name alone does not determine timelines, costs or privacy.
Nort as an example
Nort is a reverse-recruiting platform for developers, using profiles and assessments. Registration, tests, access to results and visibility to employers are free for candidates. Employer pricing is still being defined.
Check who can see information before sharing it. Do not assume your current employer is automatically blocked; confirm available controls with support if you need that restriction.
