What was previously only a guess has now been confirmed by our candidates in an extensive survey: they rate their collaboration with recruitment consultancies as positive overall and particularly appreciate the advice they receive.
For our latest survey, we compiled 38 questions on the topic of "recruitment consultancies." The aim was to obtain an up-to-date and comprehensive picture of opinions on the service and image of recruitment consultancies. Over 10,000 candidates took part in this survey. In addition, for the first time, the candidates surveyed were given the opportunity to contribute their wishes, ideal expectations, and personal experiences in dealing and working with recruitment consultancies.
Candidates would like to receive offers at least once a month.
At 80 percent, the vast majority of survey participants would like to be informed about new offers and career opportunities by a recruitment consultant at least once a month or more often. More than a quarter of all respondents (27 percent) would like quite intensive support (weekly contact), while 23 percent of participants would be satisfied with information every two weeks. Just under a third (30 percent) of all respondents would like to be informed about new career opportunities by their recruitment consultant once a month.
This preference is also confirmed by a more differentiated analysis of different age groups: in all age ranges analyzed, a monthly cycle was most frequently cited as the preferred option, followed by weekly information.
Our survey on the topic of "recruitment consulting" continues. In addition to the frequency of contact, it is also important to know which media can be used to reach our candidates and at what time. More on this in the next blog!
