Thoughts On Online Recruitment And Stuff – Net Natives

How do candidates behave and conduct themselves when job seeking? What drives their behaviour?

How do you ensure you sell your role in the right place and market it correctly to utilise how job seekers search?

This is what we do, here’s what we know…

1. For every registered candidate online, they have on average registered his or her details with about 5 different job boards?

2. For every unique user a job board each month, approximately 50% arrive through email job alerts.

3. 30% of candidates visit the site directly (and of those 75% of searches start at Google).

4. 20% click through subsidiary and aggregator boards (partners).

So what does this mean?

Well simply put, candidates are spreading their bets. They are registering with a variety of job boards but, equally as important, candidates are labour savers. They prefer the adverts were sent to them, rather than search.

We understand this, and this is why Net Natives partner with each of the UK’s largest job boards and every relevant specialist job site. We make sure that every relevant candidate who has set up a job alert on X job board, or may be organically searching across Y board – our client’s vacancy is marketed. The candidates spread their bets, and so do we.

At the end of every campaign we provide our clients with a report which demonstrates the number of applicants from each of the job boards. We also use this marketing data to ensure we are maximising our return on investment for each board, on behalf of our clients.

Simply put, we do our homework so you don’t have to.
