CHANGES IN THE RECRUITING LANDSCAPE
www.staffingadvisors.com
Who Can be Recruited?
• A CareerBuilder survey showed that 74% of full-time workers are “either actively searching for a new job or open to a new opportunity”
• Two LinkedIn surveys showed similar numbers, with 78% of respondents open to learning about new opportunities
• But does “open” mean that they will answer your recruiting ads?

LinkedIn Survey: “The Job Seeking Status of the Fully-
Employed”
• 22% of candidates are not open to new opportunities
• 16% are not actively looking, but talk with friends about jobs
• 44% are open to considering jobs, but respond only when contacted (by a recruiter)
• Only 18% are actively looking and applying to job postings

So Who Posts Jobs on Indeed?
Indeed aggregates jobs from some job boards, but also automatically posts jobs from employer career sites that use applicant tracking systems (like iCIMS)

No Posting Fees, Keyword Advertising

But missing out on Indeed advertisingby not having an applicant tracking system
is just one of the problems for small employers.
In the long run, missing out on Mobile will probably be worse.

Recruiting Has Moved Beyond the PC
• More than one out of every three minutes spent online is now spent “beyond the PC” on smart phones and tablets.
• Already 30% of Indeed’s total candidate visits are mobile … and climbing fast.
• So naturally, they have an app for that.

Not Just Mobile Search, Mobile Apply

But Not Being Mobile-Friendly Leaves Small Employers At a Real Disadvantage

Now You Are Seeing a Fraction of That with Traditional Job Board Advertising
• Job Advertising fails to reach 82% of candidates, no matter where you advertise
• 62% of job board traffic has migrated to Indeed
• 30% of job board traffic is already on mobile devices
• 34 – 40% of candidates who do see jobs and try to apply will opt out of the application process
• The only resumes you see now are the ones left after everything else is subtracted
