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.
