What is a silver-medalist candidate?
A silver medalist is a candidate who reached the final stage of a past hiring process and lost narrowly: interviewed, liked, not chosen. They're the highest-probability future hires a team has, because they're pre-screened and already know the company, yet most ATSs bury them.
The waste is enormous: teams pay to re-source strangers while proven finalists sit in the archive. The fix is mechanical: keep finalist profiles fresh and re-match them against every new role automatically.
That re-matching is precisely what a living talent hub does; it's the difference between an archive and an asset.
