Top 4 Market Statistics That Will Affect Your Recruitment
If you are looking to make your recruitment campaign a success then knowing the market conditions is paramount. We have put together our top 4 current market statistics that are affecting how we do recruitment.
73% Of Candidates Are Passive
The right candidate isn’t sitting waiting for you to call. They aren’t desperately scanning the job boards or sending their CV to you. They are waiting for you (or your recruitment partner) to grab their attention and offer them a position that would entice them away from their current employer.
Top Candidates Are Available For 10 Days
When candidates are looking and are classed as active job seekers, they aren’t sticking around for long. Timing is key. To attract good candidates, you need to know your recruitment process and your brand. Don’t let a good candidate get away because of planning.
55% Of Candidates Abandon Job Applications If They See A Bad Review Online
With the rise of websites such as Glassdoor and reviews being pushed on all social media platforms, it’s hard to escape externally generated opinions on your company. Throw in the growing millennial and Gen Z working population and you are looking at technically savvy applicants who know where to uncover skeletons in any company’s closet.
Keep track of what people are saying about you. There is nothing more damming than an angry ex-employee with an axe to grind.
Candidates Who Enjoy The Recruitment Process Are 38% More Likely To Accept A Job Offer
You can only make a first impression once. That is also true for the employer in the interview process and any recruitment partners they team up with. Sell to candidates like you would a customer (but be careful not to sell them a fake).
Judgement goes both ways in this situation.
