Recruiting in the tech industry is a painstaking piece of work from the moment a request is created to the successful employment of the developer. The stakes are high. After all, bad hiring for the IT industry means huge losses. More about this in the article “The Main Problem to Hire the Right Dev For a Long Term”.
But the problem may lie not only in an overheated market, but also in the inexperience of the recruiter or the HR-department. According to PWC, 92% of job seekers in various industries claim to have encountered poor recruitment practices in their careers. 49% of respondents in fields such as technology declined the offer due to such a bad experience. At the same time, 67% of respondents indicate the delay in the hiring process as the main problem.
How long does it take to make a hire and how many candidates do you need?
The SHRM Talent Acquisition Benchmarking report shows that the average duration of the selection process in all areas is 36 days. But in fields like engineering and IT it takes up to 49 days, according to the LinkedIn Economic Graph team.
The 2022 Talent Benchmarks Report shows that generally there is one hire for every 98 job seekers. But more often, recruiters rely on statistics provided by Glassdoor, where there is one hire per 250 resumes.
