Our latest survey reveals that job boards are the favoured option for jobseekers when they are first looking to find a new job. 38% choose a "job board" in the first instance to search for their next role before anything else.
"Social networks" were the second most favoured avenue for a jobseeker with 18% visiting either Linkedin, Facebook, Instagram or one of the other platforms.
"Recruitment agencies" were not as popular as we thought with 16% choosing them first and "search engines", an even less popular source (15%).
Only 10% of jobseekers go direct to the end clients and 3% use their own friend or acquaintance network, which was another surprising result as normally, the networks are a valuable and popular source to find a new job. Maybe it is not the first place people go though!

A few weeks ago we asked the users on TipTopJob, how many times each week they were late for work.
When breaking down individuals arrival at work, we felt there are four different types of people....
1. those who are always at least 10 minutes early, never rushing or stressed.
2. those who walk in dead on start time and never before.
3. those who are literally running in, hair wind swept panting either on time or just after.
4. those who are notoriously late with one excuse or another.
Our latest survey run over several weeks, found that 73% say they are NEVER late for work. Excellent figure and we are delighted that these are the people using TipTopJob :)
Sadly though we did discover a % of people who are late, whether that was 1,2,3,4 days or every single day of the week. 13% admitted they are late 1 or 2 days each week, 5% 3 to 4 days and 9% say they are late every single day!!!!
So tell us, do you work with these late comers? And if so, how are they disciplined at work? Is it acceptable to be late in some companies and does it just not matter? What would happen to you if you were late at work?
