Jobseekers & Sites
I thought I would pass along some stats and information I found regarding job boards & recruiting. This information can be found in a recent newsletter from Weedle’s, which is a research, publishing, consulting and training firm. They surveyed 750 job seekers and asked them how much time they normally spend on a job board. Here are their findings:
- 29.1% spend more than 30 minutes on each job board they visit
- 24.5% spend 11-20 minutes
- 22.3% spend 21-30 minutes
- 18.9% spend 6-10 minutes
- 5.2% blow in-and-out in 5 minutes or less
They also provided some suggestions when trying to determine which sites to use in recruiting active vs. passive job seekers.
Active Job Seekers
- Focus of the site
- Number and caliber of jobs that are posted
- Quality of the supporting job search content the site offers
Passive Job Seekers
- News and information about their industry or career field
- Developmental programs for acquiring advanced skills and certifications
- Blogs that enable them to access and comment on the views of thought leaders in the workplace
- Discussion boards that provide a way for them to network with their peers
