What was previously only an assumption has now been confirmed by our candidates in an extensive survey: They rate the collaboration with recruitment consultancies positively overall and particularly value the consulting services.
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 opinion on the service and image of recruitment consultancies. Over 10,000 candidates took part in this survey. For the first time, the candidates surveyed were also given the opportunity to express 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 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%) would like to receive fairly intensive support (weekly contact), while 23% of respondents would be happy to receive information every two weeks. Just under a third (30 percent) of all respondents would like to be informed about new career opportunities by their personnel consultant once a month.
This preference is also confirmed in a more differentiated analysis of the various age groups: In all the age ranges analyzed, a monthly cycle was most frequently stated as a preference, followed by a weekly information service.
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 on this in the next blog!
