Bridge is a job matching service that Workable provides to assist candidates who were let go - usually due to economic reasons, i.e., through no fault of their own - in finding a new job.
Bridge candidates are jobseekers who have joined their former company's Workable Bridge program. When a company has layoffs, they can add former employees to Bridge to help them find a new job. Thus, jobseekers who are out of work get notified about jobs posted through Workable for which they are a good match. They can then choose to apply and be matched with relevant jobs posted through Workable.
Bridge candidates that are sourced or those that apply directly for your jobs are marked with a special icon and the "#bridge_candidate" tag. One of the best ways to find Bridge candidates is by using AI Recruiter.
