Not long ago, the job portal Profesia.sk reported a record increase in job offers last year, marked by the pandemic. We therefore decided to look at interesting facts about job interviews – some are surprising, others thought-provoking.
Time is a quantity that everyone has the same amount of (or rather, little of). Therefore, the following statistics can help you recruit more effectively. You can also save time by entrusting employee selection to a professional recruitment agency – and we'll be happy to lend you a hand.
85% of people mislead others in their résumés, or at least bend the truth
85% of people mislead others in their résumés, or at least bend the truth. It's often only during a job interview that you can tell who has real experience and who is just embellishing. An experienced HR specialist can uncover this relatively quickly. The average interview lasts 45-60 minutes. If it's less, it was probably poor. But there's no need to generalize. Some positions don't require long interviews.
9 out of 10 companies stated that they require candidates to have at least essential work experience, and at the same time, 6 out of 10 companies stated that they explicitly want to hire candidates with specific relevant work experience.
Candidates often saw off the branch they are sitting on. An unprofessional email address is the reason why up to 76% of CVs are rejected. If candidates get to the interview stage, in almost half of the cases they haven't studied enough information about the company itself, which certainly doesn't add to their value.
Success often comes down to the details. 71 % companies reported that they did not hire a candidate because they did not adhere to the appropriate dress code.
Almost 2/3 of recruiters report that the biggest problem is a lack of talent. This shortage has tripled in the last decade. At this point, an established recruitment agency can pull out its „aces up its sleeve.“ Thanks to dozens of interviews per month, knowledge of the market and clients, or established contacts, they do not start from scratch when recruiting more or less specific positions. They simply „match“ a qualified candidate with the client's requirements, saving them time and financial resources, and relieving the HR department.
Did you know that a third of candidates are truly qualified for the job, which you are applying for?
The expertise and years of experience of recruiters at the personnel agency are also invaluable here.
Finding a truly quality candidate is difficult, but not impossible. If you've been looking for one for a long time and can't find them, turn to us. Our team of recruiters interviews interesting candidates every day, and it's possible that your future colleague is „in the drawer“ with us.
