15-20%increase
71% require 3 interviews and 76% have 2 or more stages
No one likes jumping through hoops
Demanding recruitment processes cause 65% of the best to either drop out or apply
elsewhere yet only 15% of employers are trying to streamline recruitment
52% require a presentation, even when not part of the job role
Disproportionate focus on industry experience
Looking for the wrong
skills 60% of companies focus on sector experience, which is easily learned, rather than recruitment aptitude, which isn’t.

Digging for diamonds isn’t easy 92% of the best people are not
active on the market and don’t have to update their CVs
the fight for candidates is difficult and getting harder
Empty desks cost money
