What are Candidates looking for in 2024?

For more than five years Flat Fee Recruiter has been inviting candidates to share their insights on their job-seeking habits.

In 2024 we will be sharing the results for the first time.

At Flat Fee Recruiter, we believe that a thorough understanding of the jobseeker experience leads to more successful long term hires.

Candidates who are unengaged or not properly nurtured are more likely to:

• ‘Ghost’ interviews

• Reject a job offer

• Be poached by competitor

• Leave negative feedback on social media or sites such as Glassdoor

On the other hand, by considering candidate expectations and keeping them engaged you are more likely to benefit from:

• A more streamlined hiring process

• Consistent conversion rates

• More cost-effective and successful hiring campaigns

The Flat Fee Recruiter Candidate Insight Report is based on the responses of 2285 candidates. This figure allows us to provide a valuable snapshot both of how candidates feel about job-seeking in 2024 as well as how attitudes have changed over the past half decade.

In this report you will find answers to questions such as: What motivates candidates to apply? Where do they look for jobs online? What are they willing – and not willing – to do as part of the application process?

Some of the answers may surprise you!

The report will be published in May 2024. To be the first to read it, simply provide your email below and we will send you a link as soon as the report is live.
