Talent Trends Rapport 2014 
Wat houdt Nederlandse professionals bezig?
Inleiding 
Het zijn interessante tijden voor carrièregerichte mensen in Nederland. 
De economie blijft aantrekken in dit deel van de wereld. Maar het vinden van een 
nieuwe baan blijft een uitdagend proces voor de 20% van de professionals die 
op zoek zijn naar een nieuwe functie. 
Het is echter ook een tijd met ongekende transparantie voor iedereen die uitkijkt 
naar een carrièrrestap. Online zijn meer vacatures dan ooit te vinden en de 
bijbehorende context – informatie over het bedrijf, de cultuur en het team inclusief 
de betreffende manager – is zeer compleet beschikbaar. Intussen heeft de 
werving- en selectiebranche zijn processen vernieuwd om pro-actief op zoek te 
gaan naar de beste mensen voor vacatures, in plaats van af te wachten tot de 
juiste kandidaat zichzelf meldt. Dit alles heeft een impact op de manier waarop 
mensen tegen carrièremogelijkheden aankijken. 
Tegen die achtergrond presenteren we het Talent Trends Rapport 2014. 
Over dit onderzoek 
Om inzicht te krijgen in de houding ten aanzien van werk zoeken, 
baantevredenheid en carrière-evaluatie, ondervroegen we 717 mensen met 
een baan in Nederland. Het resultaat geeft je inzichten waarmee je jouw ideale 
kandidaten beter kunt begrijpen en aantrekken. 
Dit rapport over Nederland is een onderdeel van een wereldwijd onderzoek onder 
meer dan 18.000 LinkedIn-leden in 26 landen. Voor specifieke gegevens per land 
verwijzen we graag naar de bijlage.

Actieve of passieve kandidaten? 
De analyse 
We vroegen mensen met een volledige baan om hun status als ‘werkzoekende’ 
te omschrijven. Circa 20% van de respondenten zegt actief op zoek te zijn naar 
een nieuwe baan. Slechts 17% zegt hierin niet geïntereseerd te zijn. 48% staat 
open voor een gesprek met een recruiter en nog 15% praat erover in zijn of haar 
netwerk.

Tevreden met je baan? 
Het plezier in het werk is allerminst verdwenen, ook al wordt dat soms beweerd. 
De overgrote meerderheid van de werknemers zegt behoorlijk tevreden te zijn 
met zijn baan. Slechts 3% is echt ontevreden. 
Dit geeft wellicht een nogal positief beeld voor werkgevers. Echter, 36% van de 
respondenten omschreef zichzelf als enigszins tevreden. Er is dus ruimte voor 
verbetering.

Baantevredenheid bij passieve 
versus actieve kandidaten 
Als we iets dieper kijken, zien we dat actieve kandidaten ontevredener zijn dan 
passieve. Maar ook tevreden kandidaten zijn vaak geïntereseerd in een stap 
vooruit. Daarnaast is tevredenheid geen garantie voor loyaliteit. Dit blijkt uit het 
feit dat meer dan de helft van de actieve kandidaten zegt tevreden te zijn over de 
huidige functie.

De 5 belangrijkste redenen 
om van baan te veranderen: 
actieve en passieve kandidaten 
Onderstaande tabel geeft inzicht in wat actieve kandidaten zoeken in hun nieuwe 
baan of wat hen beweegt om met een recruiter te gaan praten. Hoewel geld voor 
beide typen kandidaten een belangrijke rol speelt, vinden passieve kandidaten 
dit veel belangrijker. Sterker nog, ze vinden geld de belangrijkste reden, gevolgd 
door de balans tussen werk en vrije tijd. Actieve kandidaten hebben meer 
belangstelling voor ontwikkelingsmogelijkheden en een beter passende functie. 
Belangrijkste factoren bij het zoeken en accepteren van een nieuwe baan

Wat actieve en passieve 
kandidaten niet belangrijk 
vinden in een baan 
We vroegen passieve en actieve kandidaten ook wat zij het minst belangrijk 
vinden als ze nadenken over een nieuwe baan. Het blijkt dat alle kandidaten de 
functietitel het minst belangrijk vinden, gevolgd door de standplaats. Dus als 
je kandidaten op zinvolle wijze wilt prikkelen, kun je beter inzoomen op andere 
positieve aspecten. 
Minst belangrijke factoren bij het zoeken en accepteren van een baan 
Actief Passief

Talent Brand is belangrijk voor 
kandidaten wereldwijd 
Wereldwijd - dus ook in Nederland - zijn professionals het erover eens dat de 
belangrijkste factor bij het overwegen van een nieuwe baan is of de nieuwe 
organisatie wordt gezien als een goede plek om te werken. (Met andere woorden, 
of het bedrijf een sterk talent brand heeft.)

Hoe gepassioneerd zijn 
professionals over hun werk? 
Het antwoord is kort: zeer gepassioneerd. De meeste mensen die we 
ondervraagd hebben, gaven aan hun werk met passie te doen, ongeacht 
hun status van actieve of passieve werkzoekende. Het is fascinerend om te 
constateren dat professionals in Nederland vertrouwen in hun carrière hebben en 
investeren in groei, educatie en ontwikkeling.

Wat professionals doen om hun 
carrière in eigen hand te houden 
Doorlopend carrièremanagement is de nieuwe norm. Zowel passieve 
als actieve kandidaten leveren maandelijks een inspanning in het kader 
van hun carrière-ontwikkeling. De meerderheid netwerkt en houdt zijn cv 
en professionele profiel up-to-date en een groot deel is alert op carrière-mogelijkheden 
of interessante vacatures. Slechts 15% geeft toe dat ze 
geen van onderstaande activiteiten onderneemt.

Wat deze gegevens betekenen 
voor Recruiting en HR teams 
De gegevens zijn interessant, maar wat kun je ermee? Als je potentiële 
kandidaten hebt gesignaleerd, volg dan deze 3 do’s en don’ts om je kans op 
succes te vergroten. 
Luister heel goed naar je 
kandidaten 
Als je contact opneemt met potentiële 
kandidaten, let dan op elke schriftelijke en 
mondelinge aanwijzing. Test populaire factoren 
zoals groei en ontwikkeling, vooral als deze 
zaken in jouw bedrijf goed geregeld zijn. 
Wees niet zelfingenomen over 
je huidige medewerkers 
Ze mogen tevreden lijken, maar dat is geen 
garantie voor loyaliteit op de lange termijn. 
Zorg dat je je team koestert, zoals je dat ook 
met nieuwe kandidaten doet. In ruil zullen ze 
je belonen met hun loyaliteit en zullen ze je 
aanprijzen als werkgever. 
Focus bij een functie niet 
alleen op voorwaarden en titel 
Hoewel voorwaarden belangrijk zijn voor zowel 
actieve als passieve kandidaten, zijn titels vaak 
minder belangrijk dan je denkt. 
Laat je niet afschrikken door 
passieve kandidaten 
Veel professionals zijn niet op zoek naar een 
nieuwe baan, dus het is aan jou om hen te 
benaderen of hun aandacht te trekken. Het 
goede nieuws is dat slechts 44% van de 
beroepsbevolking zegt zo gelukkig te zijn in hun 
huidige functie dat ze niet bereid zijn iets anders 
te overwegen. Maar hou je niet in; jij hebt een 
prima carrière-aanbod en de meerderheid van 
de kandidaten zal er voor openstaan. 
Investeer in het versterken van 
je talent brand 
Nederlandse professionals zijn bijzonder 
gevoelig voor de reputatie van je bedrijf als 
werkgever. Zorg dat ze enthousiast kunnen zijn 
over jouw bedrijf. 
Houd rekening met lokale 
aspecten 
Op het terrein van de professionele 
aandachtspunten zijn er zijn belangrijke 
regionale verschillen. Zo is uitdagend werk 
wellicht minder belangrijk voor Turkse 
kandidaten, je nieuwe Nederlandse marketeer 
kan er wellicht door geïnspireerd worden. 
Gebruik geen one-size-fits-all benadering 
wanneer je internationaal werft, ook al gaat het 
om identieke functies.

Appendix 
Country-specific data 
Data is our lifeblood here at LinkedIn. We know many of you are data-obsessed 
too, so we decided to publish a rich appendix with the complete survey 
breakdown, question by question across 26 countries. Enjoy! 
Survey methodology: In June and December 2013 The LinkedIn Talent Solutions Insights Team conducted two 
separate online surveys of LinkedIn members in 26 targeted countries around the globe. Both of these surveys 
covered a variety of topics associated with jobseeking behavior on and off LinkedIn. Members were invited to 
participate through an email sent to their primary address. There were over 18,000 total survey respondents 
each of these surveys spread across the 26 countries. All respondents stated that they were fully-employed, in 
other words not unemployed, self-employed or working part-time. The overall margin of error for this study is 
± 0.73% at the 95% confidence interval and is higher for subgroups.

LinkedIn Talent Trends 2014

  • 1. Talent Trends Rapport 2014 Wat houdt Nederlandse professionals bezig?
  • 2. Inleiding Het zijn interessante tijden voor carrièregerichte mensen in Nederland. De economie blijft aantrekken in dit deel van de wereld. Maar het vinden van een nieuwe baan blijft een uitdagend proces voor de 20% van de professionals die op zoek zijn naar een nieuwe functie. Het is echter ook een tijd met ongekende transparantie voor iedereen die uitkijkt naar een carrièrrestap. Online zijn meer vacatures dan ooit te vinden en de bijbehorende context – informatie over het bedrijf, de cultuur en het team inclusief de betreffende manager – is zeer compleet beschikbaar. Intussen heeft de werving- en selectiebranche zijn processen vernieuwd om pro-actief op zoek te gaan naar de beste mensen voor vacatures, in plaats van af te wachten tot de juiste kandidaat zichzelf meldt. Dit alles heeft een impact op de manier waarop mensen tegen carrièremogelijkheden aankijken. Tegen die achtergrond presenteren we het Talent Trends Rapport 2014. Over dit onderzoek Om inzicht te krijgen in de houding ten aanzien van werk zoeken, baantevredenheid en carrière-evaluatie, ondervroegen we 717 mensen met een baan in Nederland. Het resultaat geeft je inzichten waarmee je jouw ideale kandidaten beter kunt begrijpen en aantrekken. Dit rapport over Nederland is een onderdeel van een wereldwijd onderzoek onder meer dan 18.000 LinkedIn-leden in 26 landen. Voor specifieke gegevens per land verwijzen we graag naar de bijlage. 02 Inleiding 03 Actieve of passieve kandidaten? De analyse 05 Tevreden met je baan? 07 Baantevredenheid bij actieve en passieve kandidaten 08 De 5 belangrijkste redenen om van baan te veranderen: actieve en passieve kandidaten 10 Wat actieve en passieve kandidaten niet belangrijk vinden aan een baan 12 Talent brand is belangrijk voor kandidaten 15 Hoe gepassioneerd zijn professionals over hun werk? 17 Wat professionals doen om hun carrière in eigen hand te houden 20 Hoe LinkedIn je kan helpen je kandidaten te bereiken 21 Bijlage: Data wereldwijd (Engels) 41 Auteurs – Wouter van Vloten, Leela Srinivasan, Sam Gager, Maria Ignatova Talent Trends 2014 2 talent.linkedin.com
  • 3. Actieve of passieve kandidaten? De analyse We vroegen mensen met een volledige baan om hun status als ‘werkzoekende’ te omschrijven. Circa 20% van de respondenten zegt actief op zoek te zijn naar een nieuwe baan. Slechts 17% zegt hierin niet geïntereseerd te zijn. 48% staat open voor een gesprek met een recruiter en nog 15% praat erover in zijn of haar netwerk. Hoe omschrijf je je status als ‘werkzoekende’? 15% Rond vragend in persoonlijk netwerk 48% Open voor een gesprek met een recruiter 17% Tevreden en niet opzoek naar iets nieuws Passief 7% Actief op zoek 13% 2/3 keer per week op zoek Actief Talent Trends 2014 3 talent.linkedin.com
  • 4. 44% Verenigde Arabische Emiraten 42% India Talent Trends uitschieters 10% 25% Internationaal gemiddelde 29% Indonesië 22% Verenigde Staten 22% Turkije 20% Canada 27% Italië 21% Nieuw-Zeeland 28% Zuid-Afrika 21% Verenigd Koninkrijk 19% Nieuw-Zeeland 18% Rusland 18% Noorwegen 16% Zweden 20% Nederland Lage uitschieters Hoge uitschieters 0% 50% 25% Landen met de hoogste en laagste percentages actieve kandidaten Landen met de hoogste percentages ‘super-passieve’ kandidaten Talent Trends 2014 4 talent.linkedin.com
  • 5. Tevreden met je baan? Het plezier in het werk is allerminst verdwenen, ook al wordt dat soms beweerd. De overgrote meerderheid van de werknemers zegt behoorlijk tevreden te zijn met zijn baan. Slechts 3% is echt ontevreden. Dit geeft wellicht een nogal positief beeld voor werkgevers. Echter, 36% van de respondenten omschreef zichzelf als enigszins tevreden. Er is dus ruimte voor verbetering. Hoe tevreden zijn werknemers met hun baan? 36% Enigszins tevreden 43% Zeer tevreden 9% Niet tevreden en niet ontevreden 9% Enigszins ontevreden 3% Zeer ontevreden Talent Trends 2014 5 talent.linkedin.com
  • 6. Talent Trends uitschieters De hoogste en laagste aandelen van tevreden werknemers. De meeste ‘zeer ontevreden’ werknemers vind je in: 50% 72% Internationaal gemiddelde 100% 84% Indonesië 83% Zweden 81% Noorwegen 67% Hong Kong 67% Italië 63% Turkije Lage uitschieters Hoge uitschieters De meeste ‘zeer tevreden’ professionals bevinden zich in: 0% 27% Internationaal gemiddelde 50% Lage uitschieters Hoge uitschieters 65% Japan 43% Nederland 39% Canada 39% Zweden 17% Italië 16% China 15% Rusland Talent Trends 2014 6 talent.linkedin.com
  • 7. Baantevredenheid bij passieve versus actieve kandidaten Als we iets dieper kijken, zien we dat actieve kandidaten ontevredener zijn dan passieve. Maar ook tevreden kandidaten zijn vaak geïntereseerd in een stap vooruit. Daarnaast is tevredenheid geen garantie voor loyaliteit. Dit blijkt uit het feit dat meer dan de helft van de actieve kandidaten zegt tevreden te zijn over de huidige functie. Actief Passief Hoe tevreden ben je met je huidige functie? 20% 38% 13% 20% 9% 49% 36% 7% 6% 1% Zeer tevreden Enigszins tevreden Niet tevreden Enigszins ontevreden Zeer ontevreden Zeer tevreden Enigszins tevreden Niet tevreden Enigszins ontevreden Zeer ontevreden Talent Trends 2014 7 talent.linkedin.com
  • 8. De 5 belangrijkste redenen om van baan te veranderen: actieve en passieve kandidaten Onderstaande tabel geeft inzicht in wat actieve kandidaten zoeken in hun nieuwe baan of wat hen beweegt om met een recruiter te gaan praten. Hoewel geld voor beide typen kandidaten een belangrijke rol speelt, vinden passieve kandidaten dit veel belangrijker. Sterker nog, ze vinden geld de belangrijkste reden, gevolgd door de balans tussen werk en vrije tijd. Actieve kandidaten hebben meer belangstelling voor ontwikkelingsmogelijkheden en een beter passende functie. Belangrijkste factoren bij het zoeken en accepteren van een nieuwe baan Actief Passief 1 Op zoek naar een beter passende functie 2 Wil betere arbeidsvoorwaarden 3 Op zoek naar ontwikkelingskansen 4 Wil betere arbeidsvoorwaarden 5 Betere mogelijkheden om te leren 1 Duidelijk betere arbeidsvoorwaarden 2 Meer uitdagend werk 3 Betere balans tussen werk en vrije tijd 4 Betere ontwikkelingsmogelijkheden 5 Meer mogelijkheden om te leren Talent Trends 2014 8 talent.linkedin.com
  • 9. Talent Trends uitschieters In sommige landen zijn bepaalde factoren voor kandidaten om van baan te wisselen veel belangrijker dan in andere landen. Betere ontwikkelingskansen zijn het belangrijkst in 52% Brazilië 48% Rusland 34% Nederland 31% Internationaal gemiddelde Betere arbeidsvoorwaarden zijn het belangrijkst in 67% Rusland 56% Turkije 41% Nederland 43% Internationaal gemiddelde Betere arbeidsvoorwaarden zijn het belangrijkst in 48% Rusland 43% Hong Kong 17% Nederland 30% Internationaal gemiddelde Betere balans tussen werk en vrije tijd is het belangrijkst in 41% Indonesië 40% Verenigd Koninkrijk 27% Nederland 31% Internationaal gemiddelde Een beter passende funtie is het belangrijkst in 36% Nederland 33% Finland 29% Duitsland 26% Interationaal gemiddelde Uitdagend werk is het belangrijkst in 35% Nederland 34% Japan 30% Zweden 21% Internationaal gemiddelde Actief Passief Talent Trends 2014 9 talent.linkedin.com
  • 10. Wat actieve en passieve kandidaten niet belangrijk vinden in een baan We vroegen passieve en actieve kandidaten ook wat zij het minst belangrijk vinden als ze nadenken over een nieuwe baan. Het blijkt dat alle kandidaten de functietitel het minst belangrijk vinden, gevolgd door de standplaats. Dus als je kandidaten op zinvolle wijze wilt prikkelen, kun je beter inzoomen op andere positieve aspecten. Minst belangrijke factoren bij het zoeken en accepteren van een baan Actief Passief Een betere functietitel Standplaats aspecten (bv. reistijd, forensen, verhuizen) Niet gelukkig in mijn huidige team Persoonlijke redenen (familie, gezondheid, enz.) Slechte relatie met mijn manager 1 2 3 4 5 Een betere functietitel Standplaats aspecten (bv. reistijd, forensen, verhuizen) Meer baanzekerheid Een betere relatie met de manager Belangrijke functie 1 2 3 4 5 Talent Trends 2014 10 talent.linkedin.com
  • 11. Talent Trends uitschieters Sommige factoren worden zelfs nog minder belangrijk voor het veranderen van baan als we naar de verschillende landen kijken. Actief Functietitels zijn het minst belangrijk in 51% Nieuw-Zeeland 47% Noorwegen 35% Nederland 33% Internationaal gemiddelde Functietitels zijn het minst belangrijk in 69% Zweden 63% Australië 56% Nederland 49% Internationaal gemiddelde Relatie met de manager is het minst belangrijk in 33% Indonesië 32% Zuid-Afrika 22% Nederland 25% Internationaal gemiddelde Standplaats is het minst belangrijk in Goede samenwerking team is het minst belangrijk in 36% Indonesië 36% Japan 26% Nederland 28% Internationaal gemiddelde Baanzekerheid is het minst belangrijk in Passief 47% Verenigde Arabische Emiraten 43% India 25% Nederland 33% Internationaal gemiddelde 29% China 29% Frankrijk 17% Nederland 22% Internationaal gemiddelde Talent Trends 2014 11 talent.linkedin.com
  • 12. Talent Brand is belangrijk voor kandidaten wereldwijd Wereldwijd - dus ook in Nederland - zijn professionals het erover eens dat de belangrijkste factor bij het overwegen van een nieuwe baan is of de nieuwe organisatie wordt gezien als een goede plek om te werken. (Met andere woorden, of het bedrijf een sterk talent brand heeft.) Wat is de belangrijkste factor bij het zoeken van een nieuwe werkgever? 22% Organisatie staat bekend om haar goede producten/diensten 15% Organisatie staat bekend om haar fijne collega’s 6% Organisatie heeft een prestigieuze reputatie 57% Organisatie wordt gezien als een goede werkgever Talent Trends 2014 12 talent.linkedin.com

  • 15. Hoe gepassioneerd zijn professionals over hun werk? Het antwoord is kort: zeer gepassioneerd. De meeste mensen die we ondervraagd hebben, gaven aan hun werk met passie te doen, ongeacht hun status van actieve of passieve werkzoekende. Het is fascinerend om te constateren dat professionals in Nederland vertrouwen in hun carrière hebben en investeren in groei, educatie en ontwikkeling.

  • 17. Wat professionals doen om hun carrière in eigen hand te houden Doorlopend carrièremanagement is de nieuwe norm. Zowel passieve als actieve kandidaten leveren maandelijks een inspanning in het kader van hun carrière-ontwikkeling. De meerderheid netwerkt en houdt zijn cv en professionele profiel up-to-date en een groot deel is alert op carrière-mogelijkheden of interessante vacatures. Slechts 15% geeft toe dat ze geen van onderstaande activiteiten onderneemt. Activiteiten die Nederlandse professionals de afgelopen maand ondernamen 49% Zakelijk netwerken 44% CV bijwerken en/of zakelijk profiel updaten 38% Manieren zoeken om vaardigheden te verbeteren (doel: carrière-ontwikkeling) 34% Interessante bedrijven bekijken 32% Nieuwe carrièremogelijkheden onderzoeken 30% Bericht ontvangen van recruiter/head-hunter 28% Getipt worden over vacature/functie via collega, vriend of familielid 22% Nieuwe functie bij een ander bedrijf onderzoeken 20% Nadenken over zakelijke zelfstandigheid 18% Gesolliciteerd op een nieuwe functie bij een ander bedrijf 17% Contact opnemen met collega, vriend of familielid om aanbeveling te krijgen 13% Nieuwe functie bij huidige werkgever onderzoeken 12% Sollicitatiegesprek bij een ander bedrijf 10% Contact opnemen met recruiter of manager met het oog op carrièremogelijkheden 10% Contact opnemen met recruiter of manager n.a.v. sollicitatie 7% Solliciteren op een nieuwe functie bij huidige werkgever 6% Sollicitatiegesprek voor nieuwe baan bij huidige werkgever 3% Andere Talent Trends 2014 17 talent.linkedin.com

  • 20. Wat deze gegevens betekenen voor Recruiting en HR teams De gegevens zijn interessant, maar wat kun je ermee? Als je potentiële kandidaten hebt gesignaleerd, volg dan deze 3 do’s en don’ts om je kans op succes te vergroten. Luister heel goed naar je kandidaten Als je contact opneemt met potentiële kandidaten, let dan op elke schriftelijke en mondelinge aanwijzing. Test populaire factoren zoals groei en ontwikkeling, vooral als deze zaken in jouw bedrijf goed geregeld zijn. Wees niet zelfingenomen over je huidige medewerkers Ze mogen tevreden lijken, maar dat is geen garantie voor loyaliteit op de lange termijn. Zorg dat je je team koestert, zoals je dat ook met nieuwe kandidaten doet. In ruil zullen ze je belonen met hun loyaliteit en zullen ze je aanprijzen als werkgever. Focus bij een functie niet alleen op voorwaarden en titel Hoewel voorwaarden belangrijk zijn voor zowel actieve als passieve kandidaten, zijn titels vaak minder belangrijk dan je denkt. Laat je niet afschrikken door passieve kandidaten Veel professionals zijn niet op zoek naar een nieuwe baan, dus het is aan jou om hen te benaderen of hun aandacht te trekken. Het goede nieuws is dat slechts 44% van de beroepsbevolking zegt zo gelukkig te zijn in hun huidige functie dat ze niet bereid zijn iets anders te overwegen. Maar hou je niet in; jij hebt een prima carrière-aanbod en de meerderheid van de kandidaten zal er voor openstaan. Investeer in het versterken van je talent brand Nederlandse professionals zijn bijzonder gevoelig voor de reputatie van je bedrijf als werkgever. Zorg dat ze enthousiast kunnen zijn over jouw bedrijf. Houd rekening met lokale aspecten Op het terrein van de professionele aandachtspunten zijn er zijn belangrijke regionale verschillen. Zo is uitdagend werk wellicht minder belangrijk voor Turkse kandidaten, je nieuwe Nederlandse marketeer kan er wellicht door geïnspireerd worden. Gebruik geen one-size-fits-all benadering wanneer je internationaal werft, ook al gaat het om identieke functies. Talent Trends 2014 20 talent.linkedin.com

  • 22. Appendix Country-specific data Data is our lifeblood here at LinkedIn. We know many of you are data-obsessed too, so we decided to publish a rich appendix with the complete survey breakdown, question by question across 26 countries. Enjoy! Survey methodology: In June and December 2013 The LinkedIn Talent Solutions Insights Team conducted two separate online surveys of LinkedIn members in 26 targeted countries around the globe. Both of these surveys covered a variety of topics associated with jobseeking behavior on and off LinkedIn. Members were invited to participate through an email sent to their primary address. There were over 18,000 total survey respondents each of these surveys spread across the 26 countries. All respondents stated that they were fully-employed, in other words not unemployed, self-employed or working part-time. The overall margin of error for this study is ± 0.73% at the 95% confidence interval and is higher for subgroups. 22 Active or passive candidates?
