LinkedIn Recruiter [0] is backed by a mature algorithm that recognizes these patterns. The application quite literally recommends the optimal candidates to poach. It also guesses who's profiles are out of date (e.g. if news breaks that company A lays off 20% of sales staff, then current sales people from A are more likely to be suggested for some company B's recruiting funnel).
