Source of Hire 2016 (Infographic)
SilkRoad’s Top Sources of Hire Report is back for 2016 with an analysis of millions of applications, and hundreds of thousands of interviews and hires. This year’s survey sees the Texas-based Indeed continue to reign supreme over external candidate sourcing for talent acquisition, providing more than 6 times as many interviews as the next largest external source—and nearly two and half times as many hires as all the other top-branded job sites combined.
“Changes in accessibility and candidate expectations demand that talent management adapt—especially regarding candidate sourcing,” said John Westby, Vice President of Corporate Marketing at SilkRoad. “From a universe of sources, professionals are challenged to make intelligent selections to tap the right talent pipelines and optimize their recruitment budgets. SilkRoad’s Top Sources of Hire report helps ease those challenges.”
