That’s according to a UK survey by online recruiter Jobsite of over 2,000 job seekers to find the leading factors behind employee turnover.

More than two-thirds (67%) of employers cite personality as the main reason to let someone go, while a similar ratio of employees would move to another company to achieve a better cultural fit.

The study - In Pursuit of Happiness: The Challenge of Jobseeking in the UK - also found that 54% of job seekers do not get enough information from employers to make informed decisions about a company during a job interview.

Perhaps unsurprisingly 91% of job hunters make prejudgements about what employers want to hear in an interview and frame their answers to this effect.

The research, conducted by YouGov on behalf of Jobsite, surveyed 2,000 UK job seekers to investigate their experience of the job hunting process and how recruitment methods could be improved.

This was followed by a series of in-depth qualitative interviews with recruiters and HR directors to explore these issues even further.

Jobsite managing director Keith Potts said on the findings: “Jobsite’s mission is to help individuals and organisations forge closer and longer-lasting bonds which is one of the reasons why we commissioned this report.

“However the responsibility isn’t just with the employer. Every job seeker in the UK has a commitment to themselves to find the right job for them. This means being honest, as well as investing the right amount of time and effort in the job seeking process.”
