Interesting stats show that 62% of newly recruited staff, remain registered with job boards with their situation the same.
Research from TipTopJob, finds that 21% remove themselves from online recruitment sites altogether once they have started a new job and 17% remain registered but change their availability.
What does this show us? Are people concerned about having made the right decision about their move so are therefore keeping their options open? Should newly recruited staff remove themselves from job boards to really show their commitment to the new organisation?
Job boards would usually consist of jobseekers who are actively looking rather than passively. It is however up to individuals as to what they decide to do with their registrations and a lot of people like to always have their eyes out for alternative options. It will also depend on the industry and role type/level. If you imagine contractors, they are constantly changing roles and always need to be out there looking for their next opportunity and this is markedly different to Managing Directors who may only be changing roles every 10 to 15 years.

In our latest study looking at styles of offices and motivation, we can reveal some interesting correlations between modernised work space and motivated staff.
82% of respondents say their offices are modernised and updated which is reassuring however that still leaves 18% of workers who are still operating in the 80's. Of these unfortunate soles, 84% said they would feel more motivated with a new, refurbed, modernised office.
So, the answer to this is to remind/suggest those at the top how important your office is to you and your feelings whilst at work. The more you nag, the more chance you will have of it happening. Yes it costs money, but what better investment than one that in turn creates a motivated and productive workforce. If you get a chance to discuss what motivates you, make sure you are clear to mention how important your surroundings are to you. Just take a look at the pictures below where you can see a before and after and the potential your office has of improving for the better. We know what we would choose!!!
theExMILITARYjob’s research into ex-military family, careers and employees have found in their latest survey that 56% of companies do not currently employ ex-military personnel into their organisations showing that there could be a lot more done by everyone to help our ex-military back to work.
17% of companies have employed 1 or 2, 7% have employed 3 to 5, 4% have employed 6 to 10 but on a more positive note, 16% have employed more than 10. Although this 16% is extremely positive, the 56% is a huge figure and shows that more organisations could be doing their bit to help the campaign we are heading up.
As well as looking at how many ex-military are being employed into companies, we asked several other questions. One investigated family relations who had served in the military of which 37% had had a family member serve at one time and another looked into if anyone knew “anyone” else who had served in the military and is currently looking for work. 46% responded saying YES they did! This stat shows that there are a lot of ex-military out there looking for a new career after returning from service.
We want to help bridge this gap between the number of companies employing ex-military staff and those ex-military personnel looking to find a job/career. This is where theExMILITARYjob.com comes in and we want to encourage companies to recruit ex-military into their roles by posting jobs on to the site and we want to match these to the ex-military jobseekers. Stuart Rea comments, “As an ex-military serviceman myself, I know how hard it is to settle back into civilian life. We are all very passionate here about making this work and helping in every way we can! We are pleading with companies out there to post their jobs.”
