What was previously only an assumption has now been confirmed by our candidates in an extensive survey: They rate the cooperation with personnel consultancies positively overall and especially appreciate the consulting services offered.
For our current survey, we compiled 38 questions on the topic of "personnel consultancies". The aim was to obtain an up-to-date and comprehensive opinion on the service and image of recruitment consultancies. More than 10,000 candidates took part in this survey. In addition, the candidates surveyed were given the opportunity for the first time to contribute their wishes, ideals and personal experiences in dealing and working with recruitment consultancies.
Candidates would like to receive offers at least once a month
At 80 per cent, the vast majority of survey participants would like to be informed about new offers and career opportunities by a personnel consultant at least once a month or more often. More than a quarter of all respondents (27 per cent) would like to receive fairly intensive support (weekly contact), while for 23 per cent of the participants, information every fortnight is sufficient. Almost one third (30 percent) of all respondents would like to be informed about new career opportunities once a month by their HR consultant.
This preference is also confirmed in the more differentiated analysis according to different age groups: In all analysed age ranges, a monthly rotation was most frequently indicated as a wish, followed by a weekly information offer.
Our survey on the topic of "personnel consulting" goes even further. In addition to the frequency of contact, it is also important with which media and at what time our candidates can be reached. More about this in the next blog!
