Report Compares US and UK Recruitment Working Practices
A new report released by Bullhorn, has revealed interesting differences in the working practices of recruiters in the UK and the US. According to TransAtlantic Recruitment 2011, which is based on data from over 50,000 recruiters in the industry, 87% of British recruiters met or exceeded their revenue targets in 2010, compared to 75% in the US.
The statistics on working practices and logistics were retrieved from Bullhorn’s core SaaS platform, and the social media data was accessed through Bullhorn’s new dedicated social media recruitment service, Bullhorn Reach. Linas continues: “This is the most thorough juxtapositioning of American and British working practices I’ve seen. It’s important we monitor activities across the pond as both recruitment communities can learn from one another, and take advantage of the global opportunities rapidly developing in emerging economies.
“The Bullhorn platform is a gold mine of data and we believe sharing this information will help recruiters across the globe to formulate best practice and concentrate on new skill sets, like those associated with social media uptake. A good example can be found in the success US recruiters enjoy using Facebook.”
