New research from Bullhorn highlights the factors that will increase talent\u2019s likelihood to work with a recruitment agency again<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

8 Nov. 2023 \u2014 LONDON<\/b> \u2014 Contingent workers expect a smooth experience at every stage of the recruitment lifecycle, <\/span>according to new data from Bullhorn, the global leader in software for the staffing and recruitment industry. Out of more than 1,000 contingent workers surveyed globally, <\/span>68% of contingent workers would work with their recruitment agency again, an increase from 57% of contingent workers surveyed in 2022. But there\u2019s still opportunity to improve: meeting talent expectations at each stage of the hiring process stands to increase that loyalty significantly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, contingent workers appear more satisfied with their experience working with recruitment agencies. In 2023, 57% of contingent workers are considering leaving temporary work for full-time employment if it is available, down from 64% in 2022. Still, with an increase in employers\u2019 reliance on contingent labour and a persistent talent shortage, it\u2019s more important than ever for recruitment agencies to exceed candidates\u2019 expectations and increase the likelihood that they will want to work with an agency again. The <\/span>GRID 2023 Talent Trends Report<\/span><\/a> identified key areas in which agencies can do that by delivering a smooth recruitment process from start to finish.<\/span><\/p>\n
