HR Professional Survey

Where do HR professionals spend their time?

Our recent HR research study found nearly 1 in 3 HR professionals spend more time on recruitment than any other task.

 Recruiting is a task that more HR professionals believe is easy than difficult for their organization by a roughly 3 to 2 margin.

 HR Professionals give high marks to organizations with benefits packages

HR professionals see benefits, vacation time, and work-life balance as strong. However, mentorship, opportunities for advancement, and recognition are viewed as relatively weak, underlining the short-term focus to meet immediate talent needs for many organizations, according to findings in our US segment of the global HR research study.

HR professionals see these tools as a critical source for candidate recruitment in all of the job markets they are sourcing around the globe. The growth in the use of these new recruitment channels signals a need for organizational awareness and training in many companies trying to stay competitive.
