Sources of Hire in 2004

The folks at CareerXRoads released their 4th "Source of Hire" survey today. With a sharp focus on hires, not applicants, the survey takes apart data from 275,000 positions that were filled in 40 competitive corporations. Among the findings:

  • 38% were filled by promotion or transfer
  • 61% of new hires came from employee referrals and the Internet
  • Hires attributed to the company website, as opposed to a commercial job board, have dropped from 67% of Internet hires to 54%

The survey is featured in the MarketPlace section of the Wall Street Journal and you may read the whole report at CareerXRoads.
