Why It’s Critical to Win Informed Candidates

In today’s tight job market, candidates are arming themselves with more information – and keeping their options open.

• 83% of employees/job seekers are likely to research company reviews and ratings if deciding on where to apply for a job. (1)
• They read at least 7 reviews before forming an opinion about a company. (2)

All this information has made candidates more likely to try job sampling, do more homework, and even reject offers more often.

• In 2016, 50% of job seekers had at least one interview to explore options or get experience — with no intention of leaving their current job. (3)
• 93% of employees/job seekers say it is important to be thoughtful and informed about all aspects of a company (e.g., culture, values, mission, business model, future plans, pros and cons about the workplace) prior to accepting a job offer. (4)
• Offer acceptance rates are down 6 points from 89% in 2015 to 83% in 2016. (5)
• More than half of job seekers say they are satisfied at work — but 81% of them are open to new job opportunities. (6)

With so many candidates doing their homework, it’s time for you to do yours. Attend Glassdoor Recruit to find exclusive tips, strategies and insights from industry leaders while networking with your peers.
