Candidates search for new roles while 'working' at current job

Two new pieces of research have shed light on the secret habits of jobseekers – and reveal they are likely to be looking for a new job while supposedly hard at work in their current role.

Analysis of mobile data from Monster.co.uk has found that 49% of job searches take place between 9am-5pm – which is the traditional hours someone is usually at work. And Wednesday, known not-so-affectionally as ‘hump day’ due to it feeling like a rough hill to climb up to, is candidates favourite to search for a new role.
