Andrew Flowers is the lead labor economist at Appcast, today he’ll discuss the results from the report, the current labor market and how hiring professionals can use this report to overcome another rough year for recruiting. What are the key takeaways from this year's report? One of the key metrics Appcast analyzes, is apply rates. Apply rate is the number of people who actually complete a job application after having clicked on a job, represented as a percentage. Its inverse is the candidate drop-off rate. Overall, the median apply rate increased to 4.34%, from 4.05% the previous year, which – while welcome news – means that almost 96 % (95.66%) still do not finish their online job applications.  We finally see at least a slight uptick in the number…Im guess

In 2023, employers using global jobs site Indeed will pay only when a candidate starts or submits an application, rather than when they click on a job ad, as is currently the case. The migration from a pay-per-click pricing plan to a pay-per-application model has already begun with smaller employers and is expected to be completely rolled out sometime next year.  Employers will pay more for this upgraded experience, as the value of a legitimate candidate is higher than that of lots of unidentified clicks, but in the long run, pay-per-application will save employers money, as recruiters can zero in on more quality candidates faster, Hulce said. https://hrtechfeed.com/indeed-to-move-to-ppa-revenue-model-in-2023/ <a href=

According to the Talent Board’s North America CandE Research Report — candidate resentment is again on the rise.   The research found that, in North America, candidate resentment rose from 8% in 2020 to 14% in 2021—a 75% spike. That's the largest increase since Talent Board began its research a decade ago.   Why does it matter? Well Candidates reporting high levels of resentment are less likely to apply with a company again or refer others. They are also more likely to sever their relationship with that company altogether.

Last week I ran into a situation which reminded me that even the smallest details need to paid attention to when it comes to talent attraction. After sharing a new HR job on the Evil HR Facebook jobs group that a client had just posted, one of the members asked me a question about the role. You see, one of the requirements stated that a certain state license was required. But that one little requirement seemed to throw off interested applicants. It was a license that no HR person usually has. Therefore the candidate didn't think she could apply for the job.

First off, you have to find out from each college/university who they actually work with and to which platform are they sending their kids. Handshake is the big one, but not everyone works with them, and as an employer, they are kind of difficult to work with (I’ll explain later). LinkedIn is the easiest to work with. Yello and Brazen, and others like them, are more event and campus management, than a database of students.

In a past life, I was a corporate recruiter for a few different global organizations. My team was housed under Human Resources, and I recruited for a variety of roles from administrative to senior line professionals in multiple functions. Like most corporate recruiters, I was assigned more job requisitions to fill than was humanly possible, wasn’t well-versed in what to look for in potential candidates other than key words, and relied on an applicant tracking system (ATS) to do the heavy lifting of feeding me the most "qualified" applicants. Hiring managers were usually too busy to meet with me, even when stellar applicants were waiting to hear back and we risked losing them. Candidate inquiries went unanswered, and they accepted jobs with competitors, while I was criticized for not doing better. Read the full post on Forbes; https://www.forbe
