Would you like to receive regular information from us about interesting vacancies? The HR experts at HR Consult Group AG wanted to find out in a survey with more than 10,000 responses. The aim of the study is to capture the needs and wishes of candidates and to gain an insight into their opinions on the service and image of recruitment consultancies.
At 49 percent, just under half of those surveyed would like to receive information about current and suitable vacancies once a month. 38 percent of candidates, or more than a third, even prefer to receive information on a weekly basis.
This shows that even candidates who have not currently applied for a specific position would like to be kept informed of new job offers. With a total of 87%, the offer therefore meets with broad approval in the target group. Only 13 percent reject this service.
"Candidates' great need for information clearly shows how important it is for recruitment consultancies to offer a good service. The right balance is important here: if candidates receive too much information, they can quickly feel pressured or harassed. If, on the other hand, they hear too little from their recruitment consultancy, this can quickly be interpreted as a lack of service. The recruitment consultant should therefore discuss each candidate's individual information needs and the desired type and delivery of information in advance. This creates a pleasant and profitable collaboration for both sides," explains Dr. Armin Betz.
