elsewhere yet only 15% of employers are trying to streamline recruitment

52% require a presentation, even when not part of the job role

Disproportionate focus on industry experience

Looking for the wrong

skills 60% of companies focus on sector experience, which is easily learned, rather than recruitment aptitude, which isn’t.

active on the market and don’t have to update their CVs

the fight for candidates is difficult and getting harder
