A total of 88% of jobseekers discuss their experiences of a recruitment process with friends or colleagues, according to recruitment firm Robert Walters.
The finding from its survey of 1,306 jobseekers is revealed in a white paper ‘Managing Your Brand Throughout the Recruitment Process’, part of a series of research pieces from the firm.
It shows that 57% of professionals expect a response within four days of applying for a job, 80% within six days, and 67% expect a job offer after two interviews or less.
Also, 78% expect a full recruitment process from application to job offer to take four weeks or less – by contrast, 74% of the 250 hiring managers also questioned say it takes longer than this in practice. This is a particularly important difference of opinion because 72% of jobseekers also say a lengthy recruitment process puts them off the job in question.
Three-quarters of organisations say they use the recruitment process as a channel to promote their employer brand, but only 31% say they measure the external perception of their employer brand.
