Finding a new job is getting more complex, probably down to the rising use of online job boards, social networks and personalized search tools, today’s job seeker is dynamic and picky.
Coupled with that, the down turn has formed a new sub set of job applicants, who use new job search methods.
I have read a mass of new research that showed that the Internet is the number one channel for job search (no surprise there); with one report claiming 86% of job seekers looked for jobs online. Social media is also a vital tool for today’s job seeker—32% find jobs through networking which is moving online, with Linked In (45%) and Face book (24%) considered the most effective social networks for job search. These sites are converging with online job sites to bring traditional networking online.
So where are the popular sources for jobs?
Internet: 86%
Networking 32%
Newspaper 39%
Outplacement agency 10%
Recruiter 52%
Professional organizations 19%
College career center 9%
