JOB SEEKERs ARE PLAYING HIDE FROM SEEK

JOB SEEKER HABITS ARE CHANGING.
THEY’RE PLAYING HIDE FROM SEEK!

We are seeing a shift in the number of professionals using and researching alternative application methods in their job search. In this current climate these numbers are continuing to rise, Job seeker habits are changing; they are turning their backs on job boards.
 
LinkedIn and SEEK aren’t working for them and it’s discouraging to learn you’re the 200th person to apply for the role. They aren’t getting enough traction and don’t want to become just an application number so, they are turning to other means and adapting to the market; using their networks, researching and reaching out to agencies to gain opportunities and company insights. These people are not just hoping for any job. They are doing their research. These are the good ones.
 
Employers also are shifting to other strategies to avoid the resource heavy selection process that job boards create.
 
At mme, of the 4 jobs that we advertise, only 1 hire originates from an advert. So, 80% of successful applicants didn’t apply via a job board

As their long term career partner we are working with quantified, qualified and quality professionals and making opportunities for them. With our insights, they are getting snapped up by employers who aren’t advertising and don’t need to advertise. Using these insights means we are 4x more likely to attract the right person than job boards alone. 

So, if you’re using SEEK and other job boards, talent is hidden from you!
