Where Do Your Hires Come From?

Everyone is looking for a job right now. Well, almost everyone. The results are in from Indeed’s large-scale research study, and the way people are managing their careers today may surprise you. Earlier this year, we conducted a survey of over 8,000 adults in the U.S. Seventy one percent of adults in or looking to enter the labor force say they are actively looking or open to a new job. Essentially, the job search is always on.

“Passive” is past. In fact, the #1 activity for people hired within the last six months was visiting an online job site like Indeed. The talent you need is on Indeed. Among all job sites, 54% of hires come from Indeed. That’s more than three times the number of hires as Monster, LinkedIn and CareerBuilder combined. (Source: comScore).

How do your sources compare? Which sources are outperforming others? Which ones have the potential to deliver the right candidates at a lower cost per hire? Performance tracking and analysis will help you determine how to adjust your recruitment strategy to find the talent you need.
