44. Social Contract Broken
Our data shows that candidates have
increasingly accepted the inherent
uncertainty of the working world and are
programming their careers accordingly.
They don’t believe in the old social
contract any more than employers do. For
both parties “forever” is a conditional
term: nice to hear but undependable.

45. Strategic Sourcing
Jobs2Web Dataset
1. 10 large customers with 8800 hires during 2011
from their talent network
2. This data illustrates that while 57% of
applicants that are hired apply for a job on the
first day, 43% of hires actually at some point in
the future.
3. The data also documents that in many cases, it
is the “job alerts” (drip marketing) that trigger
the apply.
4. Conclusion: theory, research maps to reality.
• theorem says drip marketing works.
• people want iterative messages
• data shows results

candidates that it takes to make a hire decreased
