Employer hubs 64% of our respondents conduct research on the company before applying, so branding is vital to attracting candidates.

You can host insider tips, spotlight successful leaders, and keep your members abreast of the latest career trends. Job boards Only 14% of our survey participants have signed up to receive job alerts. People want personalization along with recommendations that are catered to their interests and prefer specialist and curated job boards over LinkedIn.
