This year’s UK Candidate Attraction Survey is now open to once again ask recruitment professionals about the sourcing channels they use to attract candidates and the level of success achieved. The findings will report on the most popular advertising and sourcing channels used, and which ones are performing best in each industry and sector.
The survey is open to all In-House Recruiters, Talent Acquisition Specialists, HR Partners and Recruitment Consultants, with over 850 taking part in 2018 and thousands more downloading the final report.
