Which term describes active job seekers?

• A. People who currently employed but not seeking roles
• B. People who need a job and are actively looking for information about job openings
• C. People who are high performers in current company
• D. People who are only passively looking

Answer: (B)

Active job seekers are people who need a job and are actively looking for information about job openings. They’re taking concrete steps to move into a new role, such as researching openings, contacting recruiters, networking, and applying for positions. This active pursuit distinguishes them from someone who is employed and not seeking roles, who isn’t pursuing opportunities; or from those who are only passively looking, who may browse listings without taking purposeful action. A high performer in their current company isn’t necessarily seeking a new job, so that doesn’t define active seeking. So the phrase that best fits describes individuals who both need a job and are actively seeking information about opportunities.
