According to recruitment statistics, it can take weeks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northone.com\/blog\/small-business\/how-to-hire-the-best-employees-for-your-small-business\">find the right candidate<\/a>\u2014and there\u2019s no guarantee they\u2019ll even accept the job or stay after the onboarding experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A great recruitment experience starts with research. Understanding how job seekers search for work, their priorities, and their mindset can put you ahead of the competition. Putting extra time and care into your candidate search shows prospective employees that you care about their experience as much as your own, which makes your small business an attractive prospect for anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To successfully onboard candidates with the right skills, experience, and culture fit, check out the statistics below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_New_positions_take_an_average_of_42_days_to_fill\"><\/span><strong>1. New positions take an average of 42 days to fill<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When an employee gives their two weeks\u2019 notice, it\u2019s your cue to start the recruitment process. Unfortunately, it can take anywhere from weeks to months to fill a new position. The average position takes 42 days from the start of the search to selecting a candidate, but it also depends on the industry. For example, hiring someone for an engineering position can take as long as 62 days, or just over two months. The right employee is worth the wait, but your small business should be prepared for the long haul when trying to attract new talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_73_of_job_seekers_find_the_process_stressful\"><\/span><strong>2. 73% of job seekers find the process stressful<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Job hunting is stressful. In fact, 73% of job seekers say that it\u2019s one of the most stressful events of their <em>entire lives<\/em>. That\u2019s a staggering recruitment stat\u2014but it\u2019s also an opportunity for your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northone.com\/blog\/small-business\/small-business-statistics\">small business<\/a> to shine. If you can make your hiring and onboarding process easier for job seekers, your preferred candidate is more likely to think positively of your company and accept your offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_83_of_candidates_prefer_having_a_clear_timeline_of_the_hiring_process\"><\/span><strong>3. 83% of candidates prefer having a clear timeline of the hiring process<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A great way to make the job search easier for candidates is to give them a clear timeline. Before you post a job opening, take the time to outline the process for your team. How many interviews will there be? What format? Who will conduct them? How long will you wait between each round? Communicating this information to candidates will set their minds at ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Almost_90_of_applicants_find_job_openings_through_social_media\"><\/span><strong>4. Almost 90% of applicants find job openings through social media<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northone.com\/blog\/small-business\/how-to-drive-customer-growth-using-social-media?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=how-to-drive-customer-growth-using-social-media\">Social media<\/a> isn\u2019t just for looking at pictures of your friends\u2019 babies and your sister\u2019s cats. It\u2019s how 86% of job seekers find job openings. Target potential candidates where they\u2019re most likely to see your listing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_76_of_candidates_believe_diversity_is_an_important_factor_to_consider_when_evaluating_a_company\"><\/span><strong>5. 76% of candidates believe diversity is an important factor to consider when evaluating a company<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you interview candidates, it\u2019s important to remember that they\u2019re also interviewing you. Over three quarters of applicants consider a company\u2019s diversity when deciding whether to accept an offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_84_of_recruiters_believe_culture_fit_is_an_important_factor_when_hiring\"><\/span><strong>6. 84% of recruiters believe culture fit is an important factor when hiring<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Attitude is nearly as important as skills and experience. Cultural fit\u2014that is, how well an employee interacts with an organization\u2019s culture and practices\u2014can determine whether a candidate will be hired. 84% of recruiters consider a good culture fit to be important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Brand_reputation_is_important_to_86_of_women_and_67_of_men\"><\/span><strong>7. Brand reputation is important to 86% of women and 67% of men<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The way your company presents itself is crucial to recruiting top talent. In fact, 86% of women and 67% of men report that they would not consider applying to a job where the company has a bad reputation. Before you post that job listing, take a moment to evaluate how your business responds to reviews, social media posts, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_44_of_recruiters_are_prioritizing_remote_work_options\"><\/span><strong>8. 44% of recruiters are prioritizing remote work options<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northone.com\/blog\/small-business\/remote-work-statistics\">Working remotely<\/a> is here to stay. According to recent recruitment statistics, 44% of recruiters are now prioritizing remote work options for their teams. Not only do employees love the flexibility, but it\u2019s a great opportunity to broaden your talent pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_69_of_new_hires_will_stay_for_3_years_after_a_positive_onboarding_experience\"><\/span><strong>9. 69% of new hires will stay for 3 years after a positive onboarding experience<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost of a \u201cbad hire\u201d\u2014someone who will leave your company in less than a year\u2014can be high. You need to critically evaluate your onboarding process to ensure that you not only find but retain the best candidate. Remember that 69% of new hires who have a positive onboarding experience stay at their new job for over three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_New_hires_are_twice_as_likely_to_look_for_a_new_job_after_a_poor_onboarding_experience\"><\/span><strong>10. New hires are twice as likely to look for a new job after a poor onboarding experience<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What happens if the onboarding process is less than stellar? Your new hire is twice as likely to look for a new job. Again, this highlights the need for a smooth interview, hiring, and onboarding process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_40_of_job_seekers_are_leaving_jobs_for_more_money_elsewhere\"><\/span><strong>11. 40% of job seekers are leaving jobs for more money elsewhere<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Money talks. One of the biggest reasons people leave their job is to find a higher salary elsewhere. In fact, according to a recent Monster.com report, 40% of job seekers are searching for a better salary, and a whopping 96% of respondents said they are looking for a new job in 2023. To stay competitive, your company needs to offer an attractive salary and benefits package\u2026 or risk losing your dream hire to a more generous firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Your_hiring_cycle_can_be_60_shorter_with_an_optimized_recruitment_process\"><\/span><strong>12.

To cut down on the time it takes to find your perfect employee, optimize your recruitment process. Refining your methods\u2014improving the job posting, removing barriers to application, outlining the hiring process, and more\u2014can shorten the hiring cycle by 60%. In other words, you could cut that 42-day hiring process down significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_62_of_recruiters_think_living_in_a_different_city_than_your_workplace_is_a_problem\"><\/span><strong>13. 62% of recruiters think living in a different city than your workplace is a problem<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although remote work is on the rise, recruiters raise the red flag when someone lives in a different area than the job: 62% think that\u2019s problematic. Compare that to 25% of job seekers who feel the same way. If your company can support remote work, it\u2019s a good way to ensure you\u2019re not missing out on the perfect candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_Women_apply_to_20_fewer_jobs_than_men\"><\/span><strong>14. Women apply to 20% fewer jobs than men<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a 2019 study, women apply to 20% fewer jobs than men\u2013they only apply when they feel they meet 100% of the requirements, while men will apply when they only meet 60%. To attract more women to apply at your firm, consider separating your \u201cmust have\u201d requirements from your \u201cnice to have\u201d skills and experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15_Less_than_one_third_of_recruiters_have_specific_diversity_and_inclusion_initiatives\"><\/span><strong>15.

If your company plans to work with a third-party recruiter and diversity is important to you, make sure you ask what kind of policies they have to support those goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"16_46_of_employers_say_that_resume_gaps_are_acceptable\"><\/span><strong>16. 46% of employers say that resume gaps are acceptable<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It used to be that resume gaps were treated as a red flag, but that\u2019s fading. In 2021, only 38% of employers thought that resume gaps were okay. As of 2022, that number has gone up to 46%. After the COVID-19 pandemic\u2019s widespread unemployment and furloughs, employment gaps aren\u2019t necessarily a sign of anything but global affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"17_38_of_recruiters_say_finding_diverse_candidates_to_interview_is_the_biggest_barrier_to_improving_diversity\"><\/span><strong>17. 38% of recruiters say finding diverse candidates to interview is the biggest barrier to improving diversity<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although only 30% of recruiters say that they have specific goals for gender and racial diversity, 38% of recruiters claim that actually finding diverse candidates to interview is their biggest barrier to improvement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"18_Black_71_and_Hispanic_72_employees_say_their_employer_should_be_doing_more_to_increase_employee_diversity\"><\/span><strong>18.

Meanwhile, just 58% of White employees feel the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"19_College_degrees_are_the_8th_most_important_characteristic_when_interviewing_candidates\"><\/span><strong>19.

That\u2019s down a spot from 2021, when it was the 7th most important factor. The number one factor? Interview presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"20_Hiring_is_the_top_way_employers_reduce_skill_gaps_in_the_workforce\"><\/span><strong>20.
