is exactly that -- to help talent leaders like you benchmark
against teams across the globe when it comes to the most
important recruiting metrics and trends.
This report is based on the survey responses of nearly 4,000
corporate talent acquisition leaders across 35 countries. All
respondents are at the manager level or higher.

Talent leaders feel confident that
their department is helping define the
future of their company. Over 83%
of them say talent is the number one
priority in their organization.
56% of leaders say that their team’s
hiring volume will increase and in order
to measure success they are focusing
on how long a new hire stays at the
company, hiring manager satisfaction,
and time to fill.
While nearly 70% of recruiting
budgets are spent on job boards,
recruiting tools, and staffing agencies,
talent leaders identify employer
branding as the #1 area where they
wish they could invest more.
Over 80% of leaders acknowledge
that employer branding has a
significant impact on their ability to
hire talent. Candidates reveal that
companies can pique their interest
if they talk about career growth,
company culture, and challenges.
Automating the screening and hiring
process in order to eliminate human bias
and time limitations will shape the future
of recruiting. Big enterprises focus more
on harnessing big data.

Recruiting departments
play a crucial role in the
company’s future
The recruiting organization is not the flashiest department. It doesn’t directly bring in
revenue or create game-changing products. Yet, it is the quiet enabler behind these
company successes and this has not gone unnoticed. Talent and HR leaders have gained
a prominent spot at the C-suite table, driving decisions about the future of the company.

Stay the same Increase Decrease
Most recruiting teams won’t
grow this year
Despite the importance of recruiting, most leaders foresee that their team size won’t increase. This
means that as the hiring volume rises, recruiters need to get creative and automate their workflow.
The recruiting teams that are growing are focusing mostly on finding full life cycle recruiters and
employer branding specialists, indicating the increasing importance of the company’s image.

Hiring volume will increase
for many companies
While the global numbers are very positive, this is the first time in five years when the
year-over-year growth is slowing down. This subtle cooling of the job market reflects
hiring slowdown in Brazil, China, and parts of Europe.

Quality of hire and time to hire
are still the true north metrics
When it comes to measuring performance, recruiters focus on metrics that have a lasting
impact on the business. That is why different aspects of quality of hire (length of stay, hiring
manager satisfaction) dominate the list. It’s worth noting that larger companies selected time
to hire as their top metric, while businesses with under 200 employees overwhelmingly picked
length of time a new hire stays.
What are the top three ways you measure success in your role?

Sales, operations, and engineering
are the highest priority roles to fill
The demand for sales, operations and engineering talent is so prevalent that recruiting teams have to start thinking more strategically about
how to find and recruit these talent pools. Relying on data to pinpoint locations where the supply of talent is higher than the demand is a
crucial first step. Another successful tactic is targeting each of these functions with highly customized employer branding content.

Employee referrals are the top

The stats below illustrate the rise and reign of employee referrals. It’s no surprise that more and
more companies are starting to develop programs like these, given that referred employees are
faster to hire, perform better, and stay longer in the company.

Differentiating from the competition
is a top concern for recruiters
When your team is strapped for resources and dealing with intense competition, focus on initiatives that can bring you
scale. One of the most effective ways to do that and differentiate from your competitors is to work on your employer
brand. Craft messaging that is the right blend between what your target candidates are looking for and the unique value
proposition of your company.

Compared to last year, more
recruiting budgets will stay flat
Fewer recruiting teams will be enjoying bigger budgets this year -- in fact, one out of two teams will have to
deal with a flat budget. This is yet another reason to think about investing your team’s time in initiatives and
tools which will bring you scale and allow for automation of time-consuming tasks.

Most teams invest their budgets in
job postings and staffing agencies
Despite recruiters sharing that employee referrals are the top source of quality hires, very little budget gets
allocated to referral programs. Same with employer branding – described as one of the most important trends,
it is one the last places where teams invest. The bulk of the team’s budget goes to more traditional tactics like
posting jobs and staffing agencies.

If money weren’t a constraint, talent
leaders would invest in branding and tools
Given the opportunity, most leaders would prioritize investing in long-term strategic plays like branding, tools, candidate experience,
and upskilling their teams, instead of some of the short-term needs that they currently resource. Below is a great list of big bets you
can explore in 2017.

Global Recruiting Trends Report | 21
While leaders under-invest in
employer branding, they do
appreciate its impact
Most teams spend only a small portion of their budgets on employer branding. Yet, the stat below
shows that leaders overwhelmingly believe in its importance. One reason for this paradox is that
employer branding ROI is hard to measure and most teams cannot show a direct correlation
between a stronger candidate pipeline and their branding efforts.

Partnering with marketing is
the key to employer branding
As many recruiting teams are struggling with resourcing employer branding, they look to their
marketing partners for support. This usually includes joint ownership of social media channels and
asset production, and is more typical for larger companies. This partnership also accounts for the
reason why many companies have up to five people managing their employer brand.

Company culture messaging
is effective at grabbing
candidates’ attention
Both candidates and recruiters are on the same page company culture is crucial when it comes to
standing out from other employers. However, aside from culture, candidates are more interested in
hearing about the company’s long-term vision and fun perks over its reputation.
Recruiters:
What do you think attracts candidates
to your company?

However, if you want candidates
to accept your job offer, focus on
career growth
Employer branding should not focus only on company culture and perks. When candidates have to give
their final answer on a job offer, the deciding factor for them is how your company would impact their career
advancement and how stimulating the job will be (both financially and intellectually). This is a great reminder
that your employer branding messaging should vary, depending on the priorities of your audience.

The company’s website and social
media are top ways to promote
and measure your brand
Most teams generate awareness by relying on their website and LinkedIn. Measuring the effectiveness
of their efforts is more challenging, and that’s where aside from web and social metrics, teams get more
creative by looking at internal survey data and best employer awards.

Diversity, automation, and focus on
mission are key trends for the future
Given that recruiters report limited headcount and budget, while hiring demands are growing, it makes sense that automation is
top of mind for the industry. Automation would increase the speed of screening candidates, minimize human bias, and help assess
soft skills more precisely. Many companies are also interested in diversity and purpose initiatives as a way to differentiate from
competitors and boost engagement. Large companies are driving the focus on big data, listing it as their #1 trend.

  • 4. Global Recruiting Trends Report | 4 Top 5 takeaways Talent acquisition has a prominent seat at the executive table. Recruiters will be even busier this year and are focusing on quality of hire. Budgets go to traditional tactics, but branding tops investment wish list.

Diversity, screening automation, and data are key future trends. 1 2 3 4 5 Talent leaders feel confident that their department is helping define the future of their company.

  • 6. Global Recruiting Trends Report | 6Global Recruiting Trends Report | 6 Recruiting departments play a crucial role in the company’s future The recruiting organization is not the flashiest department. It doesn’t directly bring in revenue or create game-changing products. Yet, it is the quiet enabler behind these company successes and this has not gone unnoticed. Talent and HR leaders have gained a prominent spot at the C-suite table, driving decisions about the future of the company. 83% 83% 75% Talent is #1 priority at their company They meet with the C-suite regularly Their team is key to the company’s workforce planning Talent and HR leaders say that:
  • 7. Global Recruiting Trends Report | 7 How will the size of your recruiting team change over the next year? Stay the same Increase Decrease Most recruiting teams won’t grow this year Despite the importance of recruiting, most leaders foresee that their team size won’t increase. This means that as the hiring volume rises, recruiters need to get creative and automate their workflow. The recruiting teams that are growing are focusing mostly on finding full life cycle recruiters and employer branding specialists, indicating the increasing importance of the company’s image. 61% 32% 5% What roles would you like to hire for on your team?

  • 9.

  • 11. Global Recruiting Trends Report | 11 Quality of hire and time to hire are still the true north metrics When it comes to measuring performance, recruiters focus on metrics that have a lasting impact on the business. That is why different aspects of quality of hire (length of stay, hiring manager satisfaction) dominate the list. It’s worth noting that larger companies selected time to hire as their top metric, while businesses with under 200 employees overwhelmingly picked length of time a new hire stays. What are the top three ways you measure success in your role? What is your average time to hire? The length of time new hires stay at the company Time to hire: the time it takes to fill a job requisition The satisfaction of the hiring managers 1 2 3 < 1 month 1-2 months 3-4 months 30% 50% 17%
  • 12. Global Recruiting Trends Report | 12 Sales, operations, and engineering are the highest priority roles to fill The demand for sales, operations and engineering talent is so prevalent that recruiting teams have to start thinking more strategically about how to find and recruit these talent pools. Relying on data to pinpoint locations where the supply of talent is higher than the demand is a crucial first step. Another successful tactic is targeting each of these functions with highly customized employer branding content. What are the highest priority roles to fill at your company?

  • 18. Global Recruiting Trends Report | 18 Most teams invest their budgets in job postings and staffing agencies Despite recruiters sharing that employee referrals are the top source of quality hires, very little budget gets allocated to referral programs. Same with employer branding – described as one of the most important trends, it is one the last places where teams invest. The bulk of the team’s budget goes to more traditional tactics like posting jobs and staffing agencies. What is the current breakdown of your recruiting budget?

  • 19. Global Recruiting Trends Report | 19 If money weren’t a constraint, talent leaders would invest in branding and tools Given the opportunity, most leaders would prioritize investing in long-term strategic plays like branding, tools, candidate experience, and upskilling their teams, instead of some of the short-term needs that they currently resource. Below is a great list of big bets you can explore in 2017. If you had unlimited budget, where would you invest?

  • 21. Global Recruiting Trends Report | 21 While leaders under-invest in employer branding, they do appreciate its impact Most teams spend only a small portion of their budgets on employer branding. Yet, the stat below shows that leaders overwhelmingly believe in its importance. One reason for this paradox is that employer branding ROI is hard to measure and most teams cannot show a direct correlation between a stronger candidate pipeline and their branding efforts. of talent leaders agree that employer brand has a significant impact on their ability to hire great talent80%
  • 22. Global Recruiting Trends Report | 22 Partnering with marketing is the key to employer branding As many recruiting teams are struggling with resourcing employer branding, they look to their marketing partners for support. This usually includes joint ownership of social media channels and asset production, and is more typical for larger companies. This partnership also accounts for the reason why many companies have up to five people managing their employer brand. Who manages your company’s employer brand? How many people manage your employer brand?

  • 23. Global Recruiting Trends Report | 23 Company culture messaging is effective at grabbing candidates’ attention Both candidates and recruiters are on the same page company culture is crucial when it comes to standing out from other employers. However, aside from culture, candidates are more interested in hearing about the company’s long-term vision and fun perks over its reputation. Recruiters: What do you think attracts candidates to your company? Candidates: What information would be helpful when considering a potential employer?* *Source: LinkedIn Talent Trends 2016 Report 1 Culture and values 2 Perks and benefits 1 Company culture 2 Company reputation 3 Challenging work 3 Mission and vision
  • 24. Global Recruiting Trends Report | 24 What swayed you to accept your current company’s job offer?* 45% 44% 44% However, if you want candidates to accept your job offer, focus on career growth Employer branding should not focus only on company culture and perks. When candidates have to give their final answer on a job offer, the deciding factor for them is how your company would impact their career advancement and how stimulating the job will be (both financially and intellectually). This is a great reminder that your employer branding messaging should vary, depending on the priorities of your audience. Better compensation/ benefits Opportunities for career advancement Challenging work *Source: LinkedIn Talent Trends 2016 Report
  • 25. Global Recruiting Trends Report | 25 The company’s website and social media are top ways to promote and measure your brand Most teams generate awareness by relying on their website and LinkedIn. Measuring the effectiveness of their efforts is more challenging, and that’s where aside from web and social metrics, teams get more creative by looking at internal survey data and best employer awards.

  • 27. Global Recruiting Trends Report | 27 Diversity, automation, and focus on mission are key trends for the future Given that recruiters report limited headcount and budget, while hiring demands are growing, it makes sense that automation is top of mind for the industry. Automation would increase the speed of screening candidates, minimize human bias, and help assess soft skills more precisely. Many companies are also interested in diversity and purpose initiatives as a way to differentiate from competitors and boost engagement. Large companies are driving the focus on big data, listing it as their #1 trend.
