Resumes Don’t Tell You Much

Last week ERE.net hosted a webinar about the current state of recruiting and job fit. It was interesting to have some of our own findings confirmed.

Here are a few key stats they shared that we found very interesting:

  • 85% of applicants are unfit for the job
  • 55% of employees are dissatisfied with their job
  • 46% of new hires leave within 18 months
  • 30% of business failures are due  to poor hiring decisions

They also mention that by taking 2 hours between the job applicant and the hiring manager, you can increase your profit-per-employee by up to 2.5x.

Enjoy!
