Hi everyone! Lauren Valentine here from Alaant with insights from last week's “Question of the Week.” We asked, “What is the most effective way to network while searching for a new job?” Here’s what we found: 38% of people favor applying to jobs online, 33% prefer working with a recruiter, and 29% would rather attend a networking event when possible.
These varied results highlight that candidates are leveraging a variety of approaches to expand on their job search. Not surprising at all. While online applications remain popular, it’s also clear that many people value the connections they are able to make through networking and the support they get when partnering with a recruiter.
For employers, if you're hiring take note: relying solely on one hiring channel probably means that you are missing out on top talent. Working with a recruiting firm like Alaant gives you a competitive advantage by helping you reach candidates across multiple avenues—not just on job boards.
Our recruiters are proactive in connecting with motivated professionals who may not be applying online but who are open to the right opportunities. When you partner with Alaant, you ensure that your hiring strategy is able to reach a broader talent pool
