In July 2008, CareerXroads and the job site, AfterCollege.com completed a survey of 500 students - undergraduates, graduates and recent alumni, to determine how this group of relatively new job seekers is looking for jobs. Findings show that two-thirds of them will not use their network to work their way into a job by proactively connecting to an employee in their target company, 78% are extensively researching companies and positions in which they are interested, and 22% are actively seeking advice and help from parents or career services. Westaff, Inc. opens a new franchise office in at 4261 Lien Road, Suite Q., Madison, WI. Franchise owner Jim Holwerda will be overseeing the new Westaff office and its staff. Bullhorn invites you to participate in its Sourcing Best Practices Survey. The survey is short and will take less than five minutes to complete. The project seeks to collect and report data about sourcing best practices for active and passive candidates, effective uses of a candidate database, and how to leverage technology for more effective searches. In Depth CareerBuilder.com and the Inavero Institute for Service Research will release a first-of-its-kind, comprehensive staffing industry guide based on a nationwide survey spanning three years among more than 1,500 staffing industry clients and 8,800 job candidates. The study, scheduled to be published on September 26, 2008, will identify key opportunities and insights for staffing firms related to topics such as improving brand awareness, communication and the overall user experience. A Guide to Staffing Industry Clients. The study's first set of results focuses on perspectives from staffing industry clients across industries, regions and company sizes. Key takeaways include: Client Awareness of Staffing Firms Staffing firms continue to face challenges in creating and maintaining high levels of brand awareness. Only two national staffing firms were able to achieve awareness with more than 50 percent of client participants in 2008, consistent with the previous two years. Capturing More Client Business Fewer than 25 percent of companies nationwide currently utilize a staffing or recruiting firm to help with their human resources needs. While time savings and convenience ranked high for "pros" in working with staffing firms, clients pointed to candidate fit and personalization for opportunities to create an improved and differentiated service that garners more business. The Client Experience and Customer Retention While the overall client experience with one's primary staffing firm continues to improve, 45 percent of clients have changed or seriously considered changing primary staffing firms in the past 12 months. A Guide to Job Candidates. The other half of the study details perceptions and opinions of the staffing industry through the eyes of job candidates. Key takeaways include: The Awareness and Perception Gap Similar to staffing clients, staffing brand awareness is low among job candidates, as the average job candidate is only able to name one staffing or recruiting firm from memory. Additionally, 40 percent of job candidates can't name a single staffing or recruiting firm. The Staffing Firm Role in the Job Search Only one-in-five job candidates utilizes a staffing or recruiting firm as part of their job search, though candidates typically put their energy into multiple resources, with the average job search consisting of four different resources. Through the Eyes of the Candidates. Views of the Staffing Firm Experience Job candidates indicate that there are several aspects that can be challenging when working with staffing or recruiting firms; more follow through and responsiveness to calls and emails ranked among the top ways for staffing firms to improve the user experience, according to respondents.
