Employees and job seekers gained leverage when the COVID pandemic threw a wrench in workplaces worldwide, and they weren’t shy about using it. According to our 2022 Talent Retention Report, 41.2% of employees voluntarily left their job between September 2021 and September 2022, and 42.6% of employers lost productivity due to worker turnover.

While the job-quitting rate is approaching pre-pandemic levels, candidates continue to use the job market to their advantage and have high expectations for how employers treat them. Our 2023 What Candidates Want Survey revealed the following:

  • Nearly two-thirds (66.1%) of job seekers want to hear back from potential employers within 24 hours of applying for a job or sending follow-up correspondence
  • 44.7% of candidates won’t apply for a position if the job ad doesn’t include the salary range
  • Despite in-person work (36.3%) being the preferred work environment, 42.7% of job seekers listed remote work options as most important in their search

On today’s episode of Find Your Niche: A Career Podcast, host Lori Cole analyzes key findings from the What Candidates Want Report. The episode shares:

  • The best way to research and negotiate salary during your job search
  • The most effective method of maintaining contact with a potential employer
  • How to prepare for a job interview using AI
  • Career advice from guest Bill Bench, a long-time logistics employee and truck driver
