The Careers In Housebuilding Recruitment Survey
We launched The Careers in Housebuilding Recruitment Survey earlier this year and already have some very interesting data on the job market, much of it pointing to changes in the way in which people look for career opportunities. This is of particular interest in the current economic climate with developers facing a depressed housing market yet still reporting some encouraging results. This has prompted the green shoots of a recovery in the housebuilding job market but it is still early days. The headlines from our research so far are:
85% of housebuilding professionals surveyed so far prefer applying directly to employers than through recruitment agencies
89% of respondents so far prefer specialist job boards like www.careersinhousebuilding.co.uk to the leading generalist job boards
Over 70% find social media like Facebook & Twitter helpful to keep up to date with job news
We plan to publish all the findings from our research early in the new year so if you haven’t contributed yet, please find 5 minutes to complete the 11 multiple choice questions here.
