This document provides a summary of key findings from a 2013 source of hire report. Some of the main findings include:
1. Data collection methods for sources of hire have not kept up with the increasing complexity of sources, resulting in incomplete and inaccurate data.
2. Respondents reported hiring 8.6% fewer US full-time employees in 2012 but expect to hire 17.5% more in 2013, indicating a trend of onshoring jobs.
3. The top source of hire is current employees filling open roles (42% of hires), followed by employee referrals (around 25,000 hires or 18% of external hires).
4. Sources of hire like social

their organisations create value across a broad
spectrum of potential, thereby enhancing their
own role and stature in the process.
Sourcing technologies have advanced beyond just gathering social profiles and now use complex algorithms to uncover candidates that are best suited for an organization. These technologies aggregate data from various social and professional networks and sites to build comprehensive profiles of passive professionals, even without directly published contact or work history information. The document then describes several leading sourcing technology providers and their features, and concludes with recommendations for organizations to test out new sourcing tools in key areas before committing to a long-term partnership.
Unlocking Value - Embrace Governance, Risk, and Compliance PracticesKelly Services
As more and more direct business effort must be expended toward relationships with customers, as companies feel comfortable with the reach of technology and their need to manage more amounts of highly specific data, and as more companies struggle to satisfy the career and lifestyle priorities of workers, they have warmed to the idea of outsourcing mission-critical functions.
For market leaders who are obsessed with building more company value, outsourcing has actually become a key business strategy.

can you afford to keep your staffing levels where they
need to be?

A Study on Emerging Trends, Methods and Criteria for Effective E Recruitment ...ijtsrd
In recent days there is a rapid growth in the technology and it is advancing day by day. The purpose of this article is to analyse the framework of E Recruitment. It aims at analysing the emerging recent trends in E Recruitment and also the methods of electronic recruitment and the required criteria for effective recruitment. The major change the world is facing in the recent days is digital transformation hence this paper analyses a conceptual frame work of E Recruitment. The organisations in the current days are adapting the technology to easier their long procedure in recruiting and the results are effective. The technological adaption in the organisation has avoided the lengthy process of earlier methods of recruitment. This study also analyses the various methods and criterion for effective E Recruitment strategy. Prof. Rekha D. M | Naveena.

This document provides an overview and analysis of trends in the global human resources services market. It discusses the growth of the market following the economic recovery and increasing investment by major players in emerging markets. It also analyzes different modes of online recruitment that are emerging, such as social networking recruitment, industry vertical recruitment, search recruitment, and comments-on-employer recruitment. The document also discusses trends in human resources outsourcing, payroll outsourcing, and the financial success of companies like ADP that have adopted business process outsourcing models.
The document discusses how companies can apply strategies used to engage customers to also engage employees. It argues that HR needs to shift from focusing on transactions to fostering interactions with employees by treating them more like customers. An effective way to do this is by using new technology to create a "system of engagement" that offers personalized, intuitive services to employees across devices and connects them socially. This can help employees feel more connected to their company and increase engagement.
The Science of Recruiting Lateral PartnersLawCrossing
Law firms are increasingly using data analytics to inform lateral hiring decisions, similarly to how sports teams use statistics to evaluate players. Firms analyze performance data to identify ideal candidate profiles and estimate if a hire would boost profits. Over one-fifth of Am Law 200 firms have adopted these techniques. While data may help reduce biases, personal judgment is also important in hiring.
A widening IT skills gap is preventing many companies from cashing in on digital’s bright promise, casting a dark cloud over the global economy. Here’s how business leaders can attract, develop and retain the talent needed to succeed in today’s digital era.
Three key recruitment trends are emerging:
1) Technology is becoming central to recruitment with tools like video simulations and social networking playing a larger role.
2) The software revolution is transforming industries and traditional companies now face threats from software disruptors.
3) There is a growing mismatch between available talent and new jobs as most graduates lack essential skills, and networking will fill roles before they are advertised.
- 98% of consulting employers expect to hire at least as many staff in 2015 as in 2014, with over a third expecting considerably more hires. However, more firms also expect staff attrition rates to worsen in 2015.
- The strongest hiring demand is expected in financial services, IT, energy & utilities, technology, healthcare & pharma, and retail. Demand has fallen for public sector roles.
- In-demand consulting types include project/program management, CRM, digital, and technology consultants. Strategy consulting demand has fallen.

1) CEB uses a close-loop leads management process that combines marketing and sales. It focuses on identifying customer buying processes and constructing a feedback loop between marketing activities and sales to improve business performance.
2) Key aspects of CEB's approach include generating sales leads through content marketing, grading and nurturing leads, and sharing lead information on a common CRM platform between marketing and sales.
3) CEB treats content as central to its 360 degree marketing approach. It creates customer profiles and publishes targeted content to attract potential customers and convert them into qualified sales leads.
The document discusses the failure of traditional job boards and hiring practices to connect companies with qualified IT candidates. While candidate-driven, most companies still rely on outdated job advertising methods. AskIT is a next-gen networking platform designed to focus on quality over quantity and provide a more personalized hiring experience for IT recruiters and managers.
The Tru Files - Social Recruiting and PersonalizationKelly Services
The document discusses strategies for personalizing social recruiting efforts. It suggests moving beyond mass approaches to instead focus on attracting the right candidates by understanding them as members of an audience. Recruiters should develop long-term relationships and share engaging content to stay connected with candidates beyond individual job openings. Personalization involves customizing the candidate experience based on their profiles and interests to treat them as part of a lifelong professional community.
Global talent trends and the role of Recruitment agenciesPeter Cosgrove
The document discusses global trends in recruitment agencies and talent management. It notes that recruitment agencies play an important role in helping companies find talent more easily. The recruitment agency market is large and growing, with Europe, the US, and Japan being the largest markets. Employers use agencies to find hidden talent, save time in hiring, improve their brand, and gain expertise in new markets. Jobseekers use agencies to access opportunities, get advice, and find flexible work arrangements. For agencies to thrive, they need to specialize, demonstrate their value online, and focus on building talent networks rather than just providing CVs.

The document discusses traditional versus online sourcing methods and metrics related to source of hire. It notes that relying exclusively on online or offline methods can be problematic and that an integrated strategy is needed. Multiple discussion topics are presented, including the need to consider different generations and build profiles targeting specific skills rather than individual job requisitions. Effective measurement of sourcing results and developing the right talent for sourcing roles are also addressed.
The document discusses trends in the IT job market based on a presentation by John Barry from ITech Consulting Partners. It finds that more employers plan to hire in 2011 compared to 2010, especially in technology and revenue roles. Popular skills include mobile development, web design, software engineering, and specializations like Oracle, SAP, and project management. The document recommends pursuing relevant certification along with hands-on experience. It provides tips for job searching using boards, LinkedIn, networking, and working with recruiters.
The document discusses how gamification tactics from gaming are being used in recruiting to create better incentives and engagement. It provides examples of how companies are using laddering and rewards, digital currency, badges, and tribal connections to target potential job candidates. The document advocates designing reward programs and studying where your target audience spends time online to understand how gaming concepts can be borrowed for recruiting.

Rousseau fue un filósofo y escritor suizo que propuso una teoría del aprendizaje naturalista. Creía que la educación debía seguir los procesos naturales del niño y no ser una imposición. Su enfoque pedagógico se basaba en que el niño aprende mejor siguiendo sus intereses naturales en lugar de un programa de estudios rígido. Sus ideas influyeron en filósofos posteriores como Dewey y en la educación progresista.

Opportunities In Staffing Executive Summaryandrewrizi
The document provides an overview of a research study on staffing firms, clients, and job candidates. Some key findings include:
- Staffing firms have an opportunity to better engage with clients and candidates through social media, as many clients/candidates are on platforms like LinkedIn but few engage with staffing firms online.
- Satisfaction with staffing firms among clients declined slightly in 2010 after improvements in previous years, with promoters dropping from 41% to 30%.
- Content marketing through company websites and webinars is an effective strategy for staffing firms to engage with and provide value to clients.
Opportunities In Staffing Executive Summaryandrewrizi
This document provides a summary of a research report on staffing firms and opportunities in the staffing industry. It finds that while awareness and utilization of staffing firms increased in 2010, most job candidates are not engaging with staffing firms and have had negative experiences. It also finds that clients and candidates are increasingly using social media and smartphones but staffing firms have largely failed to engage them through these channels. The report provides data and recommendations to help staffing firms improve client and candidate retention and grow their business.
The document discusses how the modern workplace is rapidly changing with employees demanding greater flexibility, connectivity and variety from their employers. It also discusses how HR must adapt to rising candidate expectations, new ways of working using social media, and how to leverage big data analytics. However, many employers have failed to keep up with these changes. The document advocates for rethinking how companies attract, engage and manage talent through improved recruitment tools, talent communities, and network recruiting.
2013 Bullhorn North American Trends ReportBullhorn
In December of 2012, Bullhorn conducted its annual trends survey of North American recruiting agency
professionals, seeking to assess the state of the staffing industry from the vantage point of business performance,
recruiter compensation, recruiting technologies, and measurement best practices. In addition to the 2013 North
American Staffing and Recruiting Trends Report, the 2013 EMEA Staffing and Recruitment Trends Report and
the 2013 APAC Staffing and Recruitment Trends Report are also available on the Bullhorn website.
Social media and digital marketing are becoming the new norm in recruiting. Recruiting budgets and volumes are increasing for the first time in 4 years, putting pressure on talent acquisition leaders to scale operations while doing more with less. Competition is the top obstacle to attracting talent, especially for US companies. Social professional networks have become the top source of quality hires, growing 57% over the past 4 years. Employer branding and passive candidate recruitment are also major competitive threats. Mobile recruiting is on the rise as the talent industry embraces new technologies.
This document discusses the recruiting funnel framework for improving the hiring process. It describes the five steps of the recruiting funnel as employment branding, sourcing, candidate experience, candidate selection, and insight. For each step, the document provides strategies and benchmarks for optimizing the process. The goal of the recruiting funnel is to create a continuous pipeline of qualified candidates by engaging with talent at each stage.
The document summarizes the results of a survey of 998 recruiting professionals conducted by Social Talent and Alexander Mann Solutions to understand emerging trends in recruitment. Some key findings include:
- Over 50% of recruiters are measured primarily on number of placements/hires.
- Over 50% of recruiters believe social/professional media is their primary source for finding talent.
- Over 50% of recruiters mainly use InMail or connection requests to contact passive candidates.
- Over 50% of recruiters work on less than 10 requisitions at a time.

They’ve never spent as much money doing it. And they’ve never

For most of the post–World War II era, large corporations went
about hiring this way: Human resources experts prepared a detailed
job analysis to determine what tasks the job required and what
attributes a good candidate should have. Next they did a job evalu-
ation to determine how the job fit into the organizational chart and
how much it should pay, especially compared with other jobs. Ads
were posted, and applicants applied. Then came the task of sorting
through the applicants. That included skills tests, reference checks,
maybe personality and IQ tests, and extensive interviews to learn
more about them as people. William H. Whyte, in The Organization

subcontractors can scan websites that
programmers might visit, trace their
“digital exhaust” from cookies and
other user-tracking measures to iden-
tify who they are, and then examine
their curricula vitae.
At companies that still do their own
recruitment and hiring, managers
trying to fill open positions are largely
left to figure out what the jobs require
and what the ads should say. When
applications come—always electron-
ically—applicant-tracking software
sifts through them for key words that
the hiring managers want to see. Then
the process moves into the Wild West,
where a new industry of vendors offer
an astonishing array of smart-sounding
tools that claim to predict who will be
a good hire. They use voice recogni-
tion, body language, clues on social
media, and especially machine learning
algorithms—everything but tea leaves.
Entire publications are devoted to what
these vendors are doing.
The big problem with all these new
practices is that we don’t know whether
they actually produce satisfactory hires.
Only about a third of U.S. companies
report that they monitor whether their
hiring practices lead to good employees;
few of them do so carefully, and only
a minority even track cost per hire and
time to hire. Imagine if the CEO asked
how an advertising campaign had gone,
and the response was “We have a good
idea how long it took to roll out and
what it cost, but we haven’t looked to
see whether we’re selling more.”

Workplace 2020 Playbook on Future of Talent AcquisitionCorporateShiksha
Finding the right talent is critical for transforming companies and building comprehensive talent acquisition plans. This document summarizes a roundtable discussion between HR leaders on trends and practices in talent acquisition. Key topics discussed include the need for blended talent strategies using social media and employer branding; assessing candidates using recruitment technology and analytics; ensuring sourcing mixes are optimized between channels like referrals, job boards, and search firms; and the consumerization of talent technology through mobile and modular apps. The discussion also addressed skills gaps, demographic shifts, and using data to gain insights on the future talent landscape.
This survey conducted by SHRM and Kaplan University examined how organizations recruit for business and IT jobs. It found that communication skills were the most valuable for all applicants, while technical skills were most important for IT roles. Employee referrals, online job boards, and company websites were the most common sources for finding qualified candidates. The survey suggests job seekers highlight their communication abilities and look for opportunities on social media and job sites. HR professionals should partner with schools to align curriculum with in-demand skills and support recruiting through training programs.
Social networks are increasingly important for recruiting top talent. Employer branding is both a threat from competitors and advantage for companies. Data is being used more to make better hiring and branding decisions. Many companies are focusing on internal hiring to retain top employees. Most organizations have not adequately invested in mobile recruiting despite candidate demand.
The Forum for In-house Recruitment Managers (The FIRM) and The Write Research Company have partnered on the development of this Strategic Talent Acquisition Report designed to form an analysis of the on-going transformation of resourcing strategy and practice in the UK. The Report focuses on the following areas:
- The increasing strategic importance of talent acquisition
- Key priorities for Resourcing professionals
- Measuring the effectiveness of talent acquisition strategies
- The capability and expertise of in-house teams
- The development of talent pipelines aligned to workforce plans
- Career pathways for in-house Resourcing professionals

- Special Topic: Brazil e-commerce Market Watch
The document discusses 5 key trends in global recruiting based on a survey of over 3,300 talent acquisition leaders in 19 countries. The top trends are: 1) Social professional networks are increasingly impacting quality of hire. 2) Employer branding is both a competitive threat and advantage. 3) Data is used to make better hiring and branding decisions. 4) Companies are investing in hiring internally to retain top talent. 5) Companies are figuring out mobile recruiting to engage candidates on all devices. The document provides details on each trend and the actions talent leaders are taking regarding these emerging areas.
The document discusses the evolution of Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) from a tactical administrative service to a more strategic endeavor responsible for driving organizational change and business outcomes. It notes that 53% of organizations are currently investing in RPO or planning to over the next 12 months. RPO is helping companies improve efficiencies, reduce costs, and enhance processes. The document also examines how successful organizations build trusted partnerships with RPO providers, consider total talent acquisition of both permanent and contingent workers, and implement key capabilities like customizing processes while maintaining performance standards.
Recruiter.com offers an online recruiting platform and services for employers, recruiters, and job seekers. Their flagship product, the Job Market platform, distributes job postings to thousands of recruiters, providing employers with access to top talent. Recruiter.com has a strong brand in the recruiting industry and a large audience and network of recruiters. They are positioned for growth in the expanding online recruiting market. The partnership proposal outlines Recruiter.com's value proposition and opportunities for partners to earn commissions by promoting Recruiter.com's career services and products.
Using Digital Tools to Unlock HR’s True PotentialVIRGOkonsult
The document discusses how digital technologies are impacting HR functions but HR has been slow to adopt digital. Job seekers and employees are increasingly using digital channels like social media and mobile devices. However, most organizations still rely on traditional HR processes and systems. The document recommends that HR build top management support, upgrade flexible IT systems, use data to drive decisions, and implement pilot programs to drive digital transformation in HR.

Foreward: A Look into the Mirror
This Source of Hire (SOH) whitepaper is a critique on how employers define and measure the talent
supply chain pre-application.
Let’s face it, collecting [good] data about sources has improved little during the last decade. While the
bulk of the blame rests squarely on employers – it is the consultant, supplier and vendor communities
that have distorted reality with an overreliance on simplistic solutions and bad science. Source of Hire is
often an illusion that is increasingly constructed from B2D (Big Bad Data).
15 years ago companies that examined Source of Hire had a simpler time of it. The challenges we face
today were barely evident in a world still dominated by land lines. Collection and measurement was
handled by attributing hires to a small number of mostly unrelated, independent sources. The only thing
they all shared in common is that somewhere a phone call from a landline was probably involved.
Today, it would be just as hard to imagine a hire that wasn’t intertwined with multiple sources located at
varying points on a stretched out recruiting supply chain that reaches from early education to talent
community.
Today, the medium AND the message are blurred in ways we never imagined when we insisted that
each hire be attributed to only one source. Compounding that error are vendors and suppliers of
services, some with conflicts of interest, who tout automated methods of assigning even fewer sources
from debatable positioning in the supply chain.
Between single-source attribution, missing and interrelated sources, sub-standard taxonomies of what
are the sources, sub-optimized collection methods and limited statistics to measure the reliability of the

process, let alone the validity of connection to the function’s performance, it is clear the need to take
SOH up at a notch is essential.
Mapping how prospects navigate the early stages of the recruiting supply chain IS possible but not
without significant changes in what employers currently require…and accept from their technology
‘partners.’ Every Source of Hire study, including ours, is unequivocally and fatally flawed as incomplete,
inaccurate, unreliable and lacking even face validity against almost any hypothesis.
At best, SOH is a weak signal teased from the noise of poorly collected data based on substandard
definitions and compromised by vendors who should know better.
In the next few pages we describe the major challenges employers face in collecting SOH data.
(We realized just how divergent perceptions of SOH have become when, at the HRTechnology
Conference last November, one panelist (a CTO from a leading HRIS firm) crowed over his employer’s
‘Big Data’ capabilities (from its recently acquired ATS). He claimed that data from tens of millions of
hires over the previous 15+ years could be mined to provide insight in hiring future candidates. This
fanciful claim, in our humble opinion, could not be massaged into something useful in a million years -
GI=GO.)
Complete, Accurate, Reliable and Valid
These four characteristics determine the quality of your (SOH) data: Completeness, Accuracy,
Reliability and Validity.
Before we even begin looking at where it is your prospects were sourced in 2012 - the ones who
eventually became candidates, then employees and, finally, valued employees (i.e. in hindsight a
quality hire) - think about how confident you are about the quality of the data on which you make
decisions.
www.careerxroads.com Page | ii
5. 2013 Source of Hire Report
Note your estimate of how good you think your SOH data is for last year (2012):
___% Complete ___% Accurate ____% Reliable ____ % Valid
As a business leader focused on the recruiting function, your success increasingly means you can
acquire useful information to make informed decisions. How prospects and candidates become aware
of you and are subsequently influenced to act (i.e. to click on a link, join a talent community and,
eventually, apply) is at the core of Source of Hire.
Assuming the numbers you filled in above were all 100, you could confidently correlate the relative
strength of the relationship between your source(s) of hire to conversion, retention, development, or
any other company performance measure! As a result, your 2013 strategy to improve operational
recruiting processes for any job or job family based on the relative importance of Quality, Time and
Cost by source would be a snap. You would rock and roll.
As you go through this whitepaper we encourage you to consider, whether your data is Complete,
Accurate, Reliable and Valid. In Section IV, Final Thoughts, we continue this discussion.

Key Findings
Big Bad Data. Collection methods and the statistics to assess them have not kept up with the
sophistication of Sources of Hire as a series of interrelated elements on an increasingly
extended supply chain. Most firms have incomplete and inaccurate data. The results are not
replicable and seldom validated even internally. Suppliers and vendors compound the employer
challenges by poor survey design, limiting what is measured, maintaining single source
methodologies and sub-standard definitions.
On-Shoring May be the 2013 Trend of the Year. The respondents claimed that they hired
8.6% fewer F/T employees in the US in 2012 and they believe they will hire 17.5% more US F/T
employees in 2013. This is the biggest shift we have seen in ten years. We believe these firms
did in fact grow last year… internationally.
The #1 Source of Hire is right under our nose. Not employee referrals but current employees
who fill 42% of all the openings.
Employee Referrals are as important as ever. We examined 185,000 2012 hires. Assume
that for every ~100,000 external hires nearly 25,000 of these openings were filled (at least in
part) through the company ‘ERP’ (Employee Referral Program). In addition we think it
noteworthy that these hires were selected from only ~250,000 total referrals. The ration of
approximately 10 to 1 continues year over year. This year it is 9.9. We estimate that a candidate
who has acquired a referral is 3-4 times more likely to be hired (and this data is being replicated
elsewhere with the same results- see www.thecandes.org).
Social Media and other Source of Hire Categories are NOT independent of each other. On
the contrary they are interdependent and drive, combine with or influence most other source of
hire categories. Survey respondents only attributed a paltry 2.9% of their hires directly to Social
Media for example. However, respondents also believe that Social Media influences, drives or
combines with 7 out of 11 other sources: Referrals, Company Career Site, Job Boards, Direct
Source, College, Temp-to-Hire and Career Fairs. If we understood just how interdependent
these sources are we might credit Social Media with a much higher impact for those openings.
Job Boards are not dead; they are evolving. Approximately 1 in every 6 external hires is
attributed to a JobBoard (18.1%) with the aggregators, Indeed and Simply Hired, representing
more than 35% of the total category (Indeed is by far the most visible in the category). The
category itself however is trending down…slowly. We think it is evolving as other sources like
social media, referrals etc. are incorporated in Job Boards and as job posting capabilities in
social media and other sites become part of the service offering.

On Defining the Pool and Ensuring the Response Rate
The Source of Hire Survey gets a ~20% response rate year over year which is statistically
significant. The reason is two-fold: we limit our invitations to participate to a biased but pre-
defined sample – 200-400 large, highly competitive US-based firms whose staffing leaders are
personally known to the authors. No more than 2-3 respondents are from any industry although
each one would be considered an ‘Industry Leader.’ The responding firms appreciate that they
can share the data and answer the survey questions without fear of their specific names being
published.
Size is the major bias of our sample. Each responding firm filled thousands of openings last
year. Having 185,000+ total filled positions to work with is a valuable asset regardless of the fact
that only 37 firms are involved. However, no assumptions should be made from our SOH results
about firms that fill only a few openings in a year. Equally assured is that slicing and dicing by
industry, region of the country, etc. is neither statistically significant nor practicable. Certainly the
distribution of sources would be very different for firms that hired 50-500 employees a year
based on the efforts of a single HR Generalist or Recruiter under the stress of multiple functions
than those that hire 10,000. The relative strength of sources would also be very different
between NY Financial Services firms and West Coast retail chains.
(It would be inappropriate in ANY SOH sample to mix staffing firms or firms whose products or
services require the hiring from a single attributed source. Imagine including a firm like H&R
Block who hires tens of thousands of people each year…back from the previous year.)

The ideal SOH study would design, invite and ensure that the resulting mix was a truly
representative sample of each major industry, region and size in the same proportion as the US
where a pool of respondents is large enough to slice and dice statistically. The worst case would
be samples of unknown clients of mixed sizes, concentrated in a few industries or regions or,
even worse - the random results generated from firms responding to a game incentive from a
shotgun campaign.
SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management) would be one of the few organizations
capable of constructing in advance a truly representative study of SOH. The rest of us are
reading ghost signals amid the noise. We look in the mirror and attempt to infer the reality.
An additional bias in our sample noted earlier is that ALL of our responding firms are all well-
known industry leaders - if not to consumers in general then within their respective industries.
The consistency of having a positive or at least well-known brand may have an impact on some
of the sources chosen and yields reported here. One could speculate, for example that third
party agencies as a SOH would be greater for smaller and less well-known firms.
Additional characteristics of the respondent population that may bias the results:
US versus international employees
Respondent results were limited to US employees despite the fact that all but four respondents
were multi-national firms. An increasing number of respondents claim that global data is (or
could be) made available (See Appendix, Figure A.1). The US employee portion of the survey
[~1,200,000] is 40% of their global total.
We suspect that global SOH data is seriously compromised by differences in definitions about
class of employee and by a lack of standards defining recruiting methods. Try comparing the
definition of an employee referral country by country and you will quickly see what we mean.
Two country studies on SOH (Australia and the Netherlands) in the last 10 years offered
insights but were difficult to compare because of these two issues.
Class of Employee
Full/Time: The Exempt/Non-Exempt (professional/hourly) ratio is 53%/47% for the openings
filled by Internal Movement and Promotion and 54%/46% for openings filled from External Hires.
This isn’t representative of the US proportion of professional versus hourly workers by a long
shot but it is understandable when considering the areas of hires that most firms track. (As
noted later, many of the largest firms are not even aware of ALL the hires that take place.)
Contract & Contingent: Few firms’ staffing leaders have a solid handle on how many non-F/T
workers are employed by their firm at any given time…let alone how they got there. We
specifically requested that this category of employee be eliminated from the results supplied by
the respondents. The weighted average reported is that 14.6% of the respondents’ total
workforce is made up of contract and contingent workers. We would suggest that as the
proportion of contingent workers increase, ‘Temp-to-Perm’ as a source of hire would logically
increase. However, we have not seen much variation over the last decade. The reason staffing
leaders are seldom fully acquainted with these numbers is that the majority of respondents have
outsourced this area of hiring… usually under a Master Contract. Only 20% of the
respondents attempt to manage contingent workers themselves. As a result, the numbers
are typically (but not always) in another firm’s ATS and not easily accessed…or simply ignored
(See Appendix, Figure A.2)
www.careerxroads.com Page | 3
9. 2013 Source of Hire Report
RPO
F/T hires via Recruitment Process Outsourcing firms are included in this study where sources
are known and integrated (only three responding firms were fully outsourced and their staffing
leaders oversee the collection of SOH). 51.4% of our respondents do not use RPO for US or
Global recruiting and most firms that indicated they have ‘Some’ RPO did not always track
their RPO’s SOH. (See Appendix, Figure A.3)
Missing Hires
Approximately 60% of the respondents claim that they touch or track every F/T US hire –
whether via internal movement or sourced externally. That leaves 40% of the respondents who
have the title and responsibility for all hires but, admittedly do not touch or track some or all of
their union hires, sales territory hires, store level hires, remote manufacturing site workers, etc.,
etc. This is probably the main reason that the distribution of hourly and professional hires is
relatively equal. You might expect these numbers would show up in their ATS and would be
accessible in today’s trend toward central technology integration. Nope. We would speculate
that if the missing hires from EVERY ATS were known, the firm’s SOH would be vastly different.
(See Appendix, Figure A.4)
Structure and tools
CRM
36.8% of the respondents do NOT have Candidate Relationship Management software (All
had an ATS of course). The remainder was evenly split in asserting that their CRM was
integrated with their ATS or separate from it.
Sourcing
58.3% of the respondents have a F/T sourcing group that separately identifies, works with
and at some point hands off to recruiters. We did not elect in this study to identify group size or
differentiate and standardize responsibilities. 30.6% of the respondents have no Sourcers and
the remainder 11.1% contract or outsource sourcing as needed.
Workload
It would be easy to divide the number of recruiters (1591) by the positions filled (185,450) and
estimate that an annual workload per recruiter is to fill 115 positions. The reality is much
different and this number is just as specious as the calculations that almost always suggest the
average recruiter’s workload of open requisitions is 25-30. Once you insert considerations like
position level, internal movement versus externally sourced, difficulty of hire, diversity of
positions handled, number of clients managed, location of clients and more, a recruiter’s open
requisitions is likely to range from 5 to 50. We’ll leave it to Saratoga Institute, Corporate
Leadership Council, Conference Board and others to fine tune these metrics.
Applications per opening
Respondents received [weighted average] 74 applications per hire. (See Appendix Figure
A.5)
www.careerxroads.com Page | 4
10. 2013 Source of Hire Report
Unqualified Applications
Respondents estimated that half of all applications [weighted average = 51.1%] were
unqualified (see Appendix Figure A.6). Since the distribution is broad, it would be an interesting
study to assess the differences between firms with the highest and qualified yields.
(Note: The whitepaper published in February 2013 by TalentBoard on the results of the 2012
Candidate Experience Awards asked 90 firms about Applications Per Opening and Percentage
of Unqualified Applications. Their data is similar: 85 applications per hire with 60% estimated as
unqualified.)
Mobile Recruiting
While mobile is not identified as a source per se, firms are increasingly attempting to evaluate
what percentage of hires used mobile tools as a part of their prospects becoming aware of the
(branding) or researching them on their career site or applying. A separate survey conducted by
CareerXroads in early 2013 on the same employer base as the SOH survey found that 60-70%
of large firms were not tracking the use of mobile in the hiring process. For the firms who were
tracking this data, most estimated the hires contributed by mobile activity to be 5% or less. Only
a very small group claimed mobile was a part of the hiring process for 20% of their hires. (See
CareerXroads Survey: Mobile Enabled)
Hiring trends
Growth in 2012 was, in all likelihood, outside the US if it occurred at all. Respondents stated
they filled 8.6% fewer openings in 2012 than in 2011. In stark contrast, if respondent’s
predictions for 2013 are realized this will be a banner year for US hires - staffing leaders are
predicting F/T hiring will increase by 17.5% in in the US in 2013!
Figure 2 – Year over Year Trends: Total hires
www.careerxroads.com Page | 5
11. 2013 Source of Hire Report
2013 Source of Hire Survey: 2012 Results
Internal Movement & Promotion
77,200 positions out of 185,450 positions were filled in the US by the responding firms through
internal movement and promotion. This is ~42% [41.5%] of all the openings filled and reminds
us that the largest source of hire by far is our own employees. Over a decade of tracking this
source, shows it to be influenced most by the economy, rising during bad times when perhaps
firms are more willing to give their own employees a chance to fill an opening (even if not the
perfect fit) rather than cutting them and hiring to exact specs.
Figure 3 – Internal Movement
Source of External Hires
No surprise here. Nor should there be with only a few differences in the categories we tracked.
As we approach the collection period each year we ask staffing leaders what they are
measuring and attempt to ensure the full range of sources is covered. The problem is that
today’s definitions - especially sources like Referrals, Social Media and Job Boards - are
defined differently in different firms and what might be attributed in one to a Direct Sourcing
effort of the Sourcing team is attributed to social media or the resume search in a Job Board for
another respondent. Consider that a staffing leader under pressure to validate the costs of
his/her sourcing team will want to attribute the most hires that they can to Direct Sourcing
efforts…not the tools or [social] media that the recruiter used. In the figure below, LinkedIn is
categorized under Social Media to conform to how many firms attribute LinkedIn hires.
www.careerxroads.com Page | 6
12. 2013 Source of Hire Report
Figure 4 – Sources of External Hires
Referrals
Respondents were asked to include more than hires generated by referrals from employees i.e.
alumni referrals and other types of referrals. No distinction was made between referrals that
were initiated by job seekers as long as the data was compliant with the respondents’ respective
programs. 90% of the hires attributed to referrals were Employee Referrals. Weighted averages
over the last decade have ranged from 23% to 30%. We believe the distribution is bimodal with
two peaks centering around 20% and 40%
Career Site
Respondents tend to attribute their Career Site as a primary source despite our best efforts to
define it as a destination. We also believe that when the last IP address cannot track a
candidate clicking through to the Company Career Site from a known source that it defaults to
attributing the Career Site as the primary influencer rather than DNK or “Other”.
Job Boards
Definitely are not dead but trending down. The real question may be in consistently defining
what a Job Board is. For example, the last two years we have categorized LinkedIn under
Social Media and most respondents either were already doing that or could do it. However,
hires attributed to LinkedIn posts outweigh hires attributed through recruiters’ proactive
searches and this would have added to the Job Board category. Some firms would prefer to
attribute LinkedIn hires to Direct Sourcing efforts rather than Social Media. And, while most
hires attributed to Job Boards are a result of posting, some are the result of Sourcers searching
and Direct Sourcing via the Job Boards’ resume databases. In this latter case, the attribution
may very well be under Direct Sourcing. We may re-define Job Boards, Social Media and Direct
sourcing differently next year to better examine where the credit lies and then examine the
impact of mobile, social media and other methods as influencing the hire.
Direct Source
Respondents were asked to identify the prospects they sourced, identified and directly
contacted that eventually became hires.
www.careerxroads.com Page | 7
13. 2013 Source of Hire Report
College
Respondents attribute hires from college or within 0-2 years of graduation. As a means of
determining the extent to which college graduates are also drawn from the firms’ Intern
program, additional questions were asked.
Rehires
Defined as company alumni returning to the fold. Not every firm tracks this source and few firms
develop separate protocols for mining it as a source. This is an underserved area of hiring that
fails to get traction because of outmoded values of loyalty.
Third Party
Hires attributed to ‘Contingency’ or ‘Search’ Agencies. These figures are consistently low for the
last decade compared to any other country in the world (not that there is any world data
available). We believe the Agency numbers for specific levels (Executive) and specialties (hard
core IT) as well as smaller firms would be significantly different.
Social Media
It is what everyone wants to talk about but since there is typically room for only one Source,
should a hire be attributed to Social Media…or Referral…or Direct Source…etc. We believe a
means to establish it as a critical part of EVERY attributed source will eventually be the way to
go.
Print
Last chance. Hires attributed to Print seem to have little connection to any other source despite
the fact that every print medium is connected to an online job board. Little effort is made to
examine the value of leveraging the two. We expect print to remain pretty much at this level for
the foreseeable future.
Temp/Contact-to-Hire
We believe this is another underserved Source that is often not tracked as a result of an
outmoded understanding of compliance issues requiring that contract and contingent workers
not be treated as employees… so no real data exists. With 14% of an employer’s workforce
designated as Contingent it would seem to us to be full of opportunity.
Career Fairs
A highly focused and targeted tool or a shotgun approach? Probably both. Limited upside
unless something happens to open up this source as an online tool.
Walk-ins
We believe the low numbers here are reflective of just how limited our respondent population is
in tracking manufacturing and store level service positions within their respective companies.
Other
Catch all. Unfortunately most firms do not require an explanation of “other” in their methods of
collection. This data category conveniently disappears in a number of other SOH surveys. The
elimination of 5-10% of the hires of a firm for any reason statistically and significantly changes
the calculated percentages of the remaining sources and corrupts the results. We believe this is
a problem that every firm needs to clean up.

Reading between the Lines: Additional Questions & Answers
Referrals ~ 27,000 hires or 24.5%
Q: Are referrals the best source of hire?
A: It depends.
Referrals are surely the most important Source of Hire for the candidate to game. But, whether
they are the least expensive, best quality etc., etc. still needs to be determined case-by-case by
assessing your company’s individual numbers and results. We believe knowing the quality of
the referral (i.e. whether the referral involved an employee who had prior knowledge of the
referring candidates work in a previous firm) would certainly be a help, for example.
In this study our interest is in knowing the % a firm attributed to referrals of any kind. We also
wanted and managed to get from about half the respondents, the total number of referrals in
order to determine the yield or, “How many referrals does it take to make one hire?” As shown
below ~10/1 is a ratio important to a candidate whose probability of getting a job without a
referral would be about 72/1 (average of 74 applications per hire minus the two that are likely
referrals). Which lottery would you want to be in if you were a candidate?
Independently, similar data was obtained during last year’s Candidate Experience Awards
(http://www.thecandes.org). Examining the outcomes of more than 17,000 candidates of which
only 15% were hired, it was calculated that you would be four times more likely to be hired if you
had a referral. Interestingly, in that study, only half of the candidates were even aware that the
firm they were applying to had an ERP (Employee Referral Program). And, only half of those
candidates, who were aware of the program, made use of it. Would referrals initiated by job
seekers increase if more were aware? Would that increase be of equal quality?
www.careerxroads.com Page | 9
15. 2013 Source of Hire Report
Figure 5 – Referral Yield
Job Boards – 18.1 % or ~20,000 attributed hires
Q: What is the ‘Breakdown’ by specific Job Board?
A: Indeed is attributed as a SOH as often as the next three Job Boards (Monster, CareerBuilder
and Simply Hired) combined.
We asked respondents to break down the hires they could attribute to specific Job Boards and
calculated weighted averages. In the case of a niche Job Board like DICE, for example one
might expect to find (and we did) a large number of respondents filling small percentages of
hires. With more general job boards large percentages of the hires were attributed to individual
job boards while other respondents attributed few if any to the same Job Board. As a reminder,
LinkedIn was not included in this category.
Figure 6 – Source of Job Board Hires
www.careerxroads.com Page | 10
16. 2013 Source of Hire Report
Q: What part of the Job Board’s two major services did you use: Post & Pray or Resume
Search?
A. Post and Pray
But, obviously all of the hires attributed to Job Boards are not entirely ‘Post and Pray.’ Some
firms are attributing hires to Job Boards that involve recruiters searching resume databases and
then calling the best prospects. Many firms do NOT see this as a role for a Sourcer…but, some
still do. We think this gray area is a matter of training and accountability since most recruiters
are reluctant to cold-call someone who is not familiar with their firm or not clearly interested in
their job even though they are obviously in the market. Where do you categorize these hires?
Figure 7 – Job Boards: Posting versus Resume service offerings
College
Q: To what extent are Interns the ‘Source’ of this ‘Source’ [College]?
A: ~50%
On average, a company that wanted to fill 200 entry level openings with their own Interns would
need to make offers to 400 Interns in their final year to convert 50%. Add in another 1/3 to cover
the interns who will not receive an offer and we are now at 600 interns to yield 200 hires. We
think there should be an ROI program for improving the Intern conversion rate.

17. 2013 Source of Hire Report
Figure 8 – Intern Conversion Rate
Social Media 2.9%, ~ 3200 Hires
Q: In general, how do different social media applications impact your hiring process?
A: A lot more than the hires we attribute to them.
For Social Media sites like Linkedin, firms are both aware and use them extensively even
though the hires they influence might be actually attributed elsewhere. For many areas of social
media, firms are still in the exploratory phase.
(Note: In Channels of Influence, it becomes clearer how embedded Social Media is as an
underlying influence where hires have been attributed to other sources)
Figure 9 – Social Media Usage Comparison

18. 2013 Source of Hire Report
Channels of Influence
Q: What ‘Sources’ interact with each other the most?
A: This is where the ‘Channels of Influence’ offer a deeper dive into how Sources combine.
We asked respondents to identify how one source might actually combine with, drive or
influence another. The figures below represent the top ‘influencers’ in priority order and these
are color coded by the % of respondents indicating its importance. This is what they told us.
Figure 10 – Source Interdependence
www.careerxroads.com Page | 13
19. 2013 Source of Hire Report
Job Boards and Career Sites are noted among the most important four Sources as influencing
other sources of hire in 9 out of 11 possible categories. Social Media is noted as impacting
seven other sources of hire. Direct Source is listed as a top influence for six sources and
Referrals for five. We would love to see a systematic method of measuring the interdependency
of SOH categories. It is clear they are connected.
Collection Methods
Q: How do you collect Source of Hire?
A: Multiple Methods
While self-report is still dominant (and continues to need improvement), it is no longer used
alone. The good news is that firms are now integrating multiple methods, typically two different
methods, to cross-check SOH data. More work needs to be done as we have discussed earlier
in this paper.

Final Thoughts
Here’s our short-take on what a Complete, Accurate, Reliable and Valid Source of Hire initiative
would look like.
100% Complete. Everyone Who Now Works for Your Company is Tagged with a Source.
You know something about where every person was before they began working for your firm in
at least their current or last assignment. It may not be accurate, reliable of valid data but it IS
complete.
You can access a filled “Source” field for everybody – current and past as well as every
candidate and prospect and produce a report. That includes:
Every internal move, inside a division and between divisions.
Every intern and college hire’s school and program.
Every contract and contingent worker even if hired by an Agency to whom you have given a
Master Contract.
Every person hired by your RPO (We’ll excuse PEO for the moment).
Every person in every sales territory.
Every person in every facility, region and country.
Note: It is still Complete if you have occasionally filled that source field with “other” (and not
explained what “other” is), or simply defined the field as “unknown” rather than leave it
incomplete. At least then you will know the extent of what you don’t know. We could spend a
good deal of time talking about restriction of range but let’s move on.
100% Accurate. All the Data You Have is Correct.
And you know this because….
…the candidate told you having completed your application after picking blindly from a long
alphabetical list of sources configured by your implementation team when you first turned your
ATS on.
…you were more concerned with the source that most influences the prospect’s action to apply
and become a candidate – say your Career Site.
…the recruiter said so, having input or written over the field.
…it was an item on the survey sent to new hires during onboarding.
…it is the last site on the web the prospect visited before linking to your Career Site.
…it was teased from data captured over time via the cookie placed by your partner during the
campaign which offered another an easy and automated means of linking an application and a
source while ignoring other job related stops before and in between.
Which method(s) do you use?
Are you familiar with the pros and cons of each?
Does your reporting automatically integrate more than one method and handle
discrepancies to increase reliability?
Can you capture more than one source such as the Job Board where the lead was found
for what was eventually attributed as an Employee Referral? Why not?
www.careerxroads.com Page | 16
22. 2013 Source of Hire Report
It would be hard to imagine a world rapidly moving toward big data where you rely SOLEY on a
self-report ‘Source’ field even one vastly improved by having an I/O consultant reconfigure it to
minimize its error.
Equally onerous is assuming that automated systems that capture the linkage between two
online locations are not eliminating important locations that have influenced the prospect as
much or more and infer that all sources are online.
Does the taxonomy you use for “Sources” cover ALL the possibilities? One recent study we
read detailed the percentages for each Source but, conveniently left out Walk-ins, Temp-to-
Perm, Print and more because (and here we infer nothing sinister and only assume ignorance)
they could not be tracked (according to them) “automatically” so, they ceased to exist – sort of
like the sound of trees falling in the woods that no one walks in. These authors also managed to
redefine the term “Internal” hires as Employee Referrals rather than openings filled by employee
movement and promotion – a convenient way to eliminate 1/4 to 1/3 of all external hires. It
wouldn’t bother us so much if they cared to point out the dilution effect but, they didn’t. It’s no
wonder their results tend to prove their hypotheses. We call it ‘cooking the books.’
An Accurate world-class solution would
Define sources clearly.
Identify ALL relevant sources.
Identify when sources are independent or interrelated
Consolidate ATS, Recruiter, IP measurement AND Self-Reports (that were developed
with I/O expertise)
Correct discrepancies
Reduce the “Other” category to “Unknown”.
Validate the influence of multiple sources.
(Quality Control and Supply Chain functions in most firms have both the competency and the
tools to accomplish this)
100% Reliable. Measures the Same Results Over Time or Repeated Trials.
A recruiter asking the same question of every candidate in the same way during the same point
of each interview and always recording the result according to a specific set of rules is reliable
not necessarily complete, accurate or valid.
A candidate consistently responding with the same choice from a randomly ordered set of
sources at several different phases of the recruiting process is reliable not necessarily complete,
accurate or valid.
An automated software tool that senses the presence of a visitor at a specific IP address, and
can link that address to movement into another IP address especially over extended time
frames is very reliable not necessarily complete, accurate or valid.
One example to illustrate the importance of reliable methods of collection:
When you posted a job to Linkedin, was the resultant hire categorized under “Job Board”
(subset: LinkedIn)? Is/should that be different from when your Sourcers use Linkedin to search,
track, build relationships and eventually hire someone? In this latter case would you have
categorized that as a “Direct Source” (subset: LinkedIn) or, perhaps it is a “Social Media”
(subset: LinkedIn) hire rather than a Job Board? Is that different from a prospect that joined one
www.careerxroads.com Page | 17
23. 2013 Source of Hire Report
of your specialty groups on Linkedin, and then used the site to track down one of your firm’s
employees that he worked with in another firm before linking to your ATS to apply? Was that
likely a referral?
Question: What is the most likely source reported from the method(s) you are using?
For each scenario, be sure that the data collected can be replicated
100% Valid. It Measures What You Claim to Measure.
Nothing is valid without a claim, a hypothesis that has been tested. Validity comes in flavors:
Face, Content, Concurrent and Predictive to name just four and, while this isn’t the place to
define them, if you haven’t performed a correlation - or at least a calculation - the validity for a
claim that Referrals are best or Job Boards are trending down or that Social Media is the new
silver bullet are all only anecdotal evidence, untested hypotheses that might actually have other
explanations.
Validity cannot be higher than the lowest number you assign to reliability and if the specificity of
your hypothesis is compromised by the accuracy and completeness of your data, what you
claim to measure is not being measured. It’s as simple as that.
So, let’s ask again. Given the opportunity to re-evaluate the quality of your data, what
percentages would you assign to each of the characteristics below?
___% Complete ___% Accurate ____% Reliable ____ % Valid
How comfortable are you defending your 2013 plan for your budget, recruiters, technology tools,
partners, vendors, training and your sources to your peers and colleagues?
How much should your 2013 recruiting strategy include improving your collection and analysis
methods?
A critical look in the mirror, knowing the data is flawed and still moving forward to make the best
choices you can while taking steps to improve for your next planning cycle is far better than
seeing solutions that repeatedly fail to optimize your sourcing strategies and assuming they will
be more effective this time around.
We strongly recommend you have a lengthy discussion about the quality of your data internally
and then challenge each of your partners and vendors. Don’t let them off the hook with
simplistic solutions.
That is what got you here in the first place.

More about the CareerXroads Colloquium
The CareerXroads® Colloquium was created in 2002 to bring together corporate staffing
professionals who share a passion for critical analysis and sharing what really works (and what
really doesn't) in their firms. The group has evolved into a forum for some of America's top
staffing leaders and meets eight times a year across the country, hosted by members. Regularly
scheduled webinars on hot topics, monthly commentary on breaking trends and a variety of
research and networking activities ensure that members are armed with information and
connections.
