See how jobseekers are navigating the job market and what they really want from employers.
Summary
Every business leader or hiring manager has a theory about why candidates apply, why they vanish mid-process, or why a great-looking hire never shows up for day one. Most of those theories are built on a handful of memorable bad experiences, not on what’s actually happening across the labor market.
This session replaces the guesswork with new research. We surveyed real jobseekers about what makes them apply, what makes them ghost, and what’s shaping how they feel about AI in the hiring process, then pulled it all together into a clear picture of what actually attracts candidates right now.
You’ll walk away with specific, practical changes you can make to your job posts, your response times, and your interview process, the kind of changes that don’t require more hours in your week, just a better read on what candidates are actually responding to.
