Download Research We partnered with leading industry analyst Madeline Laurano of Aptitude Research to gather current insight from over 300 senior talent acquisition professionals and understand the hiring challenges they’re facing today. In the research, Madeline uncovers how sourcing remains a critical challenge for recruiting teams – amidst today’s tight labor market, traditional sourcing channels are producing uncertain and diminished results.

While 93% are spending the same or more on sourcing, only 26% are satisfied with their sourcing efforts. Spend on traditional channels like job boards and ads is going up by over 40%, but applicant volumes are barely inching up – it’s time for TA pros to consider a new mix when it comes to sourcing strategy.

Employee referrals are noted in the research as the number one most effective source of hire – yet, many HR teams overlook critical components in their programs that are necessary to drive better hiring outcomes.  Read through this comprehensive research paper to understand:

• What sourcing challenges are TA pros facing?
• What practices and technology are hiring teams adopting?
• How can employee referral programs improve hiring?
• Why do many referral programs fail to deliver results?
