Your Sourcing Mix

70%
% sourced via proactive outreach / referrals / network 30%

Most scaling tech companies: 60–80% inbound. If you don't know your split, assume 70%. Every percentage point shifted to proactive sourcing directly expands your visible market.

Your Role Profile

The value in brackets is the active-candidate fraction for that discipline. Specialist roles have a thinner active pool — your 30% market shrinks further.

Earlier-stage companies have lower brand pull, meaning fewer passive candidates are receptive to inbound discovery. The market isn't smaller — it just takes more relationship-building to unlock.
