People Are Job-hunting Now More Than Ever

Survey Finds More Employees Unhappy & Looking for New Jobs Constantly

Referrals are on the Rise

While employees clearly see the need for an updated resume, that doesn’t mean they’re rushing out to post them online.

Only one-third of those surveyed have posted their resume online on job board sites in the last three months. And most people – 43% -- said it’s been more than a year since they’ve posted a resume online at one of these sites.

These results are in line with a recent New York Times article, which quoted hiring managers at several major companies who are relying heavily on employee referrals instead of random applicants from job boards. But regardless, 51% of total respondents said it’s been more than one year since they’ve actually been on a job interview, and only 27% have been to at least one interview at some point in the past three months.
