Today, we’re sharing some benchmarks

999 companies

4+ million candidates

12 months


5

5 key insights


1. The case for referrals has never been stronger


7

1 in every 16 referred

candidates is hired

Making referrals almost

10x more efficient than

applicants


8

One catch with referrals? Volume.

Referrals represent 16 percent

of all hires


9

Boost referrals

● Create a checklist of what to do when a new role opens up

● Help referrers provide context (i.e. have they spoken to the candidate, are they active/passive, fit for multiple roles, etc.)

● Keep referrers in the loop. Create email templates to update them

● Give kudos, celebrate wins


10

Lever referral form

Factors that can hold employees back from referring:

● I don’t want to be judged for a bad referrals

● I hope the recruiter doesn’t think I’ve actually spoken with this person. That’d be awkward..

● I’m not sure what role this person is best fit for. How do I give context?


Remember: Preserve diversity as you scale referrals

2. Sourcing has gone mainstream


13

Sourcing is the second most common source of hire across companies of all sizes


14

Move from reactive to proactive sourcing


15

Build future-focused talent pipelines

Build candidate personas Engage passive candidates with relevant content


3. Engineering hires are the least likely to have applied


17

Engineers are the likeliest to

come in via agency (5%) and

second likeliest to be sourced

(37%)

They are the least likely to be

applicants – just 38% of

hires apply


18

Recruit your unfair share of top engineering talent

Turn your database from a graveyard into a goldmine

I’ve never been hired for a job that I

applied to.”
