A Note From The Editor

Study: 51 Percent of Hires Culled From Internet Sources

Employers turn to the Internet as their major hiring source, beating out newspaper classifieds and other traditional sources, according to a study carried out for technology consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton.

The study found that 51 percent of new hires were developed from Internet sources. Of that 51 percent, the highest quality candidates apparently came from employers' own corporate web sites and from employee referrals.

Newspaper classified ads, traditionally a major source of employment hiring, were the source of just 5 percent of new hires, the study found.

Weekly Article
Searching for the Right Job/Applicant
The Herman Group, Inc.

The employment market is heating up. As we move through the next eight to ten years, even greater turbulence is expected. With the expanding economy, job opportunities are growing. Qualified workers have both choices and mobility. Employee turnover is up, with all indications pointing to increasing movement. Surveys suggest repeatedly that approximately 75 percent of workers may be in different jobs within the next year or so. Employers are beginning to pay attention and invest in retention, but too few with too little so far. So, expect the job-changing trend to accelerate.

At the same time, employers face a serious challenge: Finding workers qualified to perform is increasingly difficult. Practically every employer we talk with---in every industry segment---reports mission-critical vacancies in skilled, managerial, and executive positions. This shortage means companies cannot get their work done and experience dangerous difficulty meeting customer or client needs. The risk factor in customer relations, quality, safety, and productivity is practically beyond measurement, and employers who track these numbers in their organizations are worried.

Employers want to recruit, select, hire, and retain top talent. They prefer not to simply go on the open market and open their doors to an avalanche of resumes and applications. Instead, they want to be more selective, more focused. Smaller employers, particularly, are very specific about their needs and want to narrowly target their recruiting.

Highly-talented, skilled, and well-educated people know they have an edge in the employment marketplace and want to maximize their return on their job-seeking effort. They know what they want, and know how difficult it can be to find their kind of job through the major job boards. Increasingly, they’re concentrating on niche job boards to zero in on what they want. According to Weddle’s, the recognized leader in research in Internet recruiting, 67 percent of job-changers expect to find their next opportunity on the Internet. Employers will respond, using specialized job boards even more.
