Hiring can be tricky, there\u2019s no doubt about it. And finding the person who ticks all the boxes is even more challenging in this strong economy. With the national unemployment rate down at just 3.6%, employers are competing to lock down top talent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you too are on the lookout for new workers, then you\u2019ll be glad to know we\u2019ve compiled a list of 70 recruitment statistics to help you create an effective hiring strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve gathered the most relevant stats about the current state of the recruiting industry and the hiring process. You\u2019ll also find information on the latest recruiting trends and the benefits of creating a diverse workforce<\/a>. We believe a little empathy goes a long way, so we\u2019ve also included statistics about how candidates feel throughout the experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Without further ado, let\u2019s take a look at our list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Bureau of Labor Statistics)<\/p>\n\n\n\n The year began with a fairly low unemployment rate of 4% in January and has only decreased since. In fact, the unemployment rate has now reached its lowest level since 1969; in April and May it was just 3.6%. According to the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in July alone approximately 164,000 jobs were created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Bureau of Labor Statistics)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Employment statistics confirm that the US job market is currently a candidates\u2019 market. With a hot streak of low unemployment numbers, companies are having a tough time finding the right workers. There simply aren\u2019t enough job seekers since the ratio of unemployed people to job openings fell below 1:1 at the end of last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Jobvite)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite a booming economy and low unemployment, nearly half of all job seekers feel it\u2019s more difficult to land a job in 2019 than it was a year ago. Rural workers are more likely to say this than city slickers, with 27% and 17% of respondents respectively giving this answer. Job search statistics also show that most candidates from the transportation and real estate industries (56%) find job hunting more challenging this year than they did last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Jobvite)<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the contrary, a fifth of all job seekers had no difficulty finding employment this year. Some 20% of candidates with a college degree and 20% residing in big cities said job search was easier this year. Even more workers from \u201chigh-skill\u201d industries feel this way. A quarter of those looking for work in the tech industry, in telecommunications, and in marketing said it was easier to get a job this year compared to last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (The Harris Poll)<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the Harris Poll\u2019s annual recruitment statistics, four in 10 employers reported intent to take on new full-time employees in 2019. Another 47% planned to recruit part-time workers, highlighting the strength of the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (GMAC)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most corporate employers in the US have expressed optimism for this year, with about two in three companies overall reporting plans to growing their human capital and expand their business. This might turn out to be difficult with a shortage of workers. However, offering competitive benefits could sway professionals to leave their current positions and come work for new employers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Workonic)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Workonic\u2019s job search stats reveal that nearly three-quarters of American job hunters aren\u2019t actively looking for a new job but would consider one if the right opportunity came along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (iCIMS)<\/p>\n\n\n\n A lot of people are just somewhat satisfied with their role and wouldn\u2019t mind changing employers if a better position came up. However, employers seem to be missing out on passive job seekers, since 42% of employed Americans say they haven\u2019t been contacted by a recruiter in the past year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Jobvite)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jobvite\u2019s hiring stats show an eight-point increase from last year\u2019s results, when only 11% of the US workforce admitted to having bailed on an employer. Of those who back down on a signed offer, 58% say they got a better one from another company. Another 38% cite personal reasons for such a move, 28% decide to stay at their current company, while 17% discover new information about the company\u2019s culture that changes their mind. Some respondents gave more than one answer to this question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Workonic)<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this candidates\u2019 market, job seekers get to be picky about the company they want to work for. They ask for all the perks they deserve and employers compete for who\u2019ll meet their demands. Unfortunately, hiring statistics reveal that one in five talent-acquisition specialists admit their companies can\u2019t deliver what worthy candidates ask for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Bureau of Labor Statistics)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the hiring process is complete, workers tend to stay with a company for just over four years. Employees aged 55 to 64 have a median tenure of 10.1 years, which is more than three times what their younger counterparts aged 25 to 34 have (2.8 years).<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Gallup)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gallup\u2019s statistics about the job market show that over a third of the American workforce participates in the gig economy through either their primary or secondary jobs. This might seem like a large percentage, but think about all the Uber drivers out there. Then there\u2019s independent contractors like translators, writers, and marketers. The number of these non-traditional, independent, short-term working relationships is projected to jump to 43% by 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (GMAC)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hiring candidates with the right set of skills and knowledge is a tough task in this competitive market. That\u2019s why employers looking to hire candidates with MBAs offer big bucks. Hoping to attract the right talent, recruiters plan to provide annual salaries of around $115,000. This is more than double the amount they\u2019re giving new employees with bachelor\u2019s degrees: $55,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Bureau of Labor Statistics)<\/p>\n\n\n\n And while highly qualified white-collar workers find themselves in an excellent position in the current economy, some blue-collar workers are going through a rough patch. The retail sector witnessed 4,000 layoffs in the month of July alone, while the number of mining and logging jobs decreased by 5,000 during the same month, according to jobs statistics published by the BLS in August 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Deloitte)<\/p>\n\n\n\n As aging baby boomers leave the workforce, millennials are becoming the dominant generation and calling most of the shots in the workplace. Employer loyalty might turn out to be one of the biggest challenges for HR specialists, since 25% of millennials plan to leave their company in the next 12 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Gallup)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gallup\u2019s job change statistics signal that employer loyalty already poses a problem among this demographic. According to the company\u2019s research, 21% of millennials have changed jobs during the past year, compared to only 7% of respondents from other generations. This high turnover rate among workers born between the early 1980s and the 2000s places a huge burden on the American economy, costing $30.5 billion per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (LinkedIn)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Company culture is an increasingly important factor candidates consider when choosing their workplace. If a company is known for poorly handling harassment cases, its reputation sinks with it. That\u2019s why, according to Linkedin\u2019s hiring statistics for 2019, almost three-quarters of recruiters agree that anti-harassment policies and practices will be essential in future hiring strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Manpower Group)<\/p>\n\n\n\n A survey conducted by Manpower Group that included around 40,000 employers from 43 countries shows that recruiters around the globe are experiencing difficulty filling positions. In fact, HR leaders reported the highest levels of talent shortages since 2006 when the research was first carried out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Manpower Group)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Recruitment data gathered in the same study reveals that 27% of employers attribute the talent shortage to applicants\u2019 lack of required skills and strength of character. Another 29% of global recruiters say the sheer lack of candidates applying for the job is the reason they can\u2019t hire the right personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Manpower Group)<\/p>\n\n\n\n With plans for growth and expansion on one side and a lack of skilled applicants on the other, more than half of employers looking for workers are stepping up. If they can\u2019t find candidates with the right skills, they have to train prospective workers and provide them with the required expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Recruitment industry trends show that employers are also lowering their education and experience requirements (36%) and recruiting from outside the traditional talent pool (33%) in an attempt to tackle the talent-shortage conundrum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (LinkedIn)<\/p>\n\n\n\n LinkedIn\u2019s 2019 Global Talent Trends Report highlights a huge spike in the number of job posts mentioning flexibility in the past three years. As employees\u2019 ability to work remotely and at hours that suit them becomes the norm, companies who provide these conditions early on are at a great advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (LinkedIn)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Employers who follow this hiring trend have a better shot at acquiring top talent as well as retaining workers<\/a>. In today\u2019s fast-paced world, employees really appreciate the possibility of working from home and the freedom to set their own hours. The perks of a flexible work environment account for a higher job satisfaction rate and a better work-life balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Glassdoor)<\/p>\n\n\n\n The majority of job seekers focus on money when skimming through a job post. It\u2019s a high priority for nearly 70% of applicants, according to job searching statistics published by Glassdoor earlier this year. Benefits come in as a close second, with 63% of candidates looking for this information in a job ad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (LinkedIn)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even though candidates are eager to know what their salary would be, only 27% of companies disclose this information publicly. Of those who don\u2019t shy away from sharing salary ranges, 67% inform candidates early on in the hiring process. A further 59% share ranges with employees and only 48% share ranges publicly on job posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (LinkedIn)<\/p>\n\n\n\n While sharing salary ranges decreases the average time to hire, a lot of companies remain reserved. According to LinkedIn recruiting statistics, 75% of employers who are not open about compensation with both their workers and applicants say they\u2019re concerned about causing salary disputes. Another 34% worry it would harm their negotiating position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Glassdoor)<\/p>\n\n\n\n As AI replaces more and more menial jobs, large companies are increasing the amount they invest in developing and proliferating the technology. In the US, Amazon stands out as the employer looking to hire the most AI workers, with 64 active AI job posts on Glassdoor. NVIDIA and Microsoft are the second- and third-largest employers in the sector, posting 6% and 4% of the AI job ads on the same network respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (LinkedIn)<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the growing trends in recruitment is the search for employees who possess soft skills. As many as 80% of HR specialists say they have a hard time filling some positions because many otherwise qualified candidates lack the necessary soft skills for the jobs. Among the skills in highest demand and lowest supply are creativity, persuasion, collaboration, adaptability, and time-management skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Undercover Recruiter)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Employer branding statistics published by Undercover Recruiter speak volumes about the importance of having a positive employer brand. When a company is renowned for treating its staff well, candidates line up whenever a position opens up. Such employers barely notice the talent shortage others are currently struggling with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (iCIMS)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall, 65% of candidates feel apprehensive about submitting job applications through social media because they fear their personal data might get into the wrong hands. Baby boomers are the most suspicious of such an application process, with 69% saying they would avoid it. Similarly, 67% of millennials and 60% of people from Generation X feel the same way, according to social media recruitment stats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Glassdoor)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Non-tech positions have been opening up faster than ever in the tech industry. The most sought-after candidates are those with sales skills. This is no surprise given that the top five roles that needed filling in 2018 were account executives, project managers, sales representatives, operations managers, and account managers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Glassdoor)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Global tech recruiters are fighting over the limited talent pool in this technical niche. As Glassdoor data shows, the number of job openings in the blockchain industry tripled in the 12-month period between August 2017 and 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Glassdoor)<\/p>\n\n\n\n This emerging technology that has the potential to transform the financial world forever is not only in high demand, but it\u2019s well paid, too. The annual salaries of blockchain specialists tend to be around $85,000, exceeding the national average of $52,461 by 62%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (CNBC)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Google hiring statistics reveal just how difficult it is to become a Google employee. While the search engine company is acclaimed as a wonderful place to work, receiving awards for top employer year after year, it\u2019s nearly impossible to get a job offer from Google. The competition is as fierce as the recruitment procedure is long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Career Builder)<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you would like to broaden your talent pool, consider adding a recruitment video to your job post. A study conducted by Career Builder shows that people respond very well to video material. More applicants will be inspired to contact you if you include a video<\/a> that depicts your company culture or shares the day-to-day experience of your employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (EBI)<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you were wondering how many applicants there are per job post, here\u2019s your answer. Job application statistics indicate that some 250 candidates apply when a position opens up in a large corporation. Though this piece of information seems encouraging, going back to the second stat will give you a dose of reality. Even if a lot of people apply, unfortunately many of them don\u2019t meet the basic requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (The Ladders)<\/p>\n\n\n\n With a slew of CVs to go through and a deadline for bringing in new workers, HR specialists need to be efficient. And according to this stat, they are. Resume statistics show it takes recruiters just six seconds to decide if a candidate will go to the next round. How did researchers come up with this number? By analyzing the eye-movement of hundreds of recruiters while they evaluated CVs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (EBI)<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to EBI\u2019s interview statistics, only a small fraction of job seekers get called back for a meeting with a company representative in person. Deciding which candidates are worthy of one-on-one attention and your time definitely isn\u2019t easy. Unfortunately, you need to eliminate most candidates based on their CVs to streamline the hiring process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Workonic)<\/p>\n\n\n\n High-quality candidates with loads of experience, robust soft skills, and a network of contacts have an average job search time of only 10 days. HR managers should take this into consideration when they spot a promising applicant. If they want that candidate to join the company, they need to act quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Jobvite)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Two-thirds of job seekers would rather be contacted via text message than via email or phone call. It appears recruiters are aware of this and tend to adjust their method of communication according to the applicant\u2019s age. Jobvite\u2019s recruitment statistics from 2019 show that 44% of candidates under 40 get a text from a recruiter compared to only 24% of older applicants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Linkedin)<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are an employer looking for new employees, your best bet is to ask your current staff if they can recommend someone. Nearly 50% of business owners cite employee referrals as their top source of quality workers. Other places for sourcing great talent include third-party websites, online job boards, and professional social networks, according to 46% and 40% of recruiters respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (The Harris Poll)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hiring statistics published in The Harris Poll\u2019s annual survey reveal that half of HR managers never stop hiring. In fact, they\u2019re on the lookout for quality candidates all year round. Of those who continuously recruit, 55% say their time-to-hire goes down thanks to this practice and 42% say it reduces their cost-per-hire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Career Builder)<\/p>\n\n\n\n A little over eight in 10 HR specialists consider candidate experience highly important. And they should, since roughly as many job seekers (78%) say they form their opinion of the employer based on how they are treated during the application process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Workonic)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Workonic\u2019s recruiting industry statistics indicate just how much employers value soft skills. Almost 60% of recruiters judge candidates based on their personality traits, social skills, emotional intelligence, and other skills they deem necessary for successfully doing the job at hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Jobvite)<\/p>\n\n\n\n And while HR specialists are judging the applicants, applicants are judging them right back. Those who work in recruitment are candidates\u2019 first point of contact with any company, so it\u2019s only natural that applicants form their opinion of the enterprise based on how well the HR employees converse and dress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Jobvite)<\/p>\n\n\n\n As job seekers become aware of the fact that the current job market is a candidates\u2019 market, they get more comfortable negotiating with employers. Recruiting statistics show a nine-point increase compared to last year, when 51% of job seekers reported being open to negotiation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Jobvite)<\/p>\n\n\n\n The figures show that men tend to be more confident than women in the workplace. This is true in the early stages, too. Even before securing a job, men boldly ask for better conditions more often than their female counterparts, according to Jobvite\u2019s hiring stats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Career Builder)<\/p>\n\n\n\n All that waiting and high hopes that amount to nothing leave candidates stressed out by the job hunt. Almost three-quarters of candidates view the process as a very stressful life event, according to Career Builder\u2019s Candidate Experience Report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Glassdoor)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Glassdoor\u2019s recruitments statistics have localized the cause of frustration candidates feel when looking for work. Applicants don\u2019t appreciate mystery regarding salary and benefits, nor do they like when employers disrespect them by changing the interview time. Untimely responses (47%) and a lack of information about job responsibilities (46%) are also disheartening for candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Career Builder)<\/p>\n\n\n\n For most candidates, being in the dark is one of the worst parts of the job hunt. The vast majority would feel much better if employers searching for employees set some expectations about the length of the hiring process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (The Harris Poll)<\/p>\n\n\n\n The latest stats on jobs show that 32% of American employees would like to get a new job this year. This doesn\u2019t necessarily mean they want to change their employer; some would be happy with a promotion within their current company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Jobvite)<\/p>\n\n\n\n When people are having trouble getting a job, company culture becomes a secondary concern. They cannot afford the luxury to be picky and discard a potential bread-winning opportunity just because they have read negative reviews about the work environment in a particular organization. Their employed counterparts, on the other hand, can. Recruitment trends indicate that 38% of job seekers who can count on a regular paycheck take organizational culture under serious consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Glassdoor)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Companies that hire out of state applicants have a bigger candidate pool to choose from. The findings of the 2019 Job Seeker Nation Survey suggest that almost 30% of Americans looking for work wouldn\u2019t have a problem moving to a different metro area for a good job opportunity. However, most workers feel deeply rooted in their current location and send applications only to local companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Career Builder)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
