Indeed Japan Co., Ltd., a Japanese corporation of the job search engine Indeed, conducted a survey on the "business conditions of recruiters" among 1 people who have been engaged in recruitment work in the last year.
According to the survey, 72.4% of the hiring managers are engaged in other than hiring and personnel affairs, and there is a tendency that they also work concurrently with other departments such as sales, sales and general affairs.43.4% of the time is devoted to hiring, and 51.0% is devoted to personnel-related work including hiring.In particular, companies with 300 or less employees spend less time on hiring, averaging 35.5%.
In the recruitment process, the most important thing for hiring personnel is "interview", but in the recruitment flow, only 16.1% of the time is spent on "interview".Despite the fact that interviews require specialized skills and have important value, as much as the job of a professional recruiter has been established in the United States and other countries, the current Japanese recruiters account for as much as 2% of interviews. I have only used less than the time.
The most common issues / problem awareness in recruiting work were 1st place "many applicants who are different from the desired person" (41.9%), 2nd place "the number of applications for job offers does not increase" (40.7%), and 3rd place. "It costs money to adjust the interview schedule and method" (21.7%), and 4th place "It costs money to select documents" (19.5%).Many of the hiring issues are related to application, and it seems that many hiring managers are worried about how to get applicants from the people they want.Next, it can be seen that improving the efficiency of various coordination tasks has become an issue, such as the cost and resources required for interview coordination tasks and document screening.
In addition, 74.9% answered that they experienced "ghosting" where they could not contact the applicant.Toshimitsu Sowa of Human Resources Research Institute Co., Ltd. pointed out that the biggest factor in ghosting is the speed of recruitment activities.The slower the contact with applicants and the progress of the hiring process, the higher the percentage of ghosting.
Mr. Sowa analyzed the survey results, "Currently, the main problem in hiring is to improve the efficiency of hiring activities other than interviews and to allocate the resources that have been created to core tasks such as interviews."In the structural seller market against the backdrop of a declining birthrate, interviews are also important as a place to raise the intent of applicants, and we have introduced WEB interviews (including recorded interviews) and structured interviews for a limited interview time. It is also pointed out that it is necessary to improve efficiency and utilize the remaining time as a place for applicants to properly understand the company and provide information that will motivate them to join the company.
