In a nutshell, what recruiters are doing is purchasing applicants from Totaljobs, meaning the job of the Totaljobs team is to find candidates actively or passively looking and encourage them to engage in the advert and then in the application process. So has the price increase helped them do that? According to Jon, year over year there has been in excess of a 100% increase in the average number of applications per job. WaveTrackR data backs that up, showing double and even triple the average number of applications per job since the price increase. Different industries will experience varying degrees of response but all have had a 100% better response rate than before. Totaljobs is looking to deliver a positive candidate experience and ensure that recruiters and employers get fair results and performance.
