A few years ago we collected data from about 50 large companies that went something like this:
About 720,000 visitors touched their website each month for all the right and wrong reasons
About 68,000 visitors reached the staffing pages driven from all manner of sources...directly and indirectly.
About 18,000 of the the visitors completed an application for a specific job in a given month.
About 6,000 of the completed applications were qualified applicants for the jobs they applied for
About 2000 of the 6,000 became finalists, and
500 positions were filled.
We're updating these numbers.
If you have data, we would love you to share it (can't make it up though as we'll check in with you). Your contribution to this survey will be anonymous however and, while we (Mark and I) will know who participated we promise to keep your company name quiet. We'll also try to help you bench like firms w/o giving any one who participated away.
Survey can be found at http://tinyurl.com/ct5gya
The reason we're updating this issue is pretty obvious as we look at the means to bench initiatives to increase the conversion or, develop alternatives for those not ready to go the next step and potentially loop them back in at a future time.
An invitation-only discussion of the results online will take place when we have enough useful data. We'll certainly invite all who participate. We'll eventually share what we find with everyone as we do in other areas.
