Fixing The Leaky Talent Pipeline

The truth is that hiring processes are now taking longer than they were at the same point last year. And candidates are more frequently dropping out as a result. 55% of candidates say that they've withdrawn from a role because it simply took too long. And when application processes take more than 30 minutes, 78% of candidates consider dropping out. What's going on here? Well, quite a lot.

Our report dives deep into the data, the reasons behind it, and the action plan you need to put in place to shorten the hiring process and fix the leaks.

So what's really happening?

• Marketing roles are getting more complex than before - 73% require data analysis now, compared to just 47% in 2022.
• It takes an average of 43 days to secure a marketer
• 68% of candidates are quitting applications that take more than 20 minutes to complete
• 58% of candidates say they've withdrawn from roles where internal communication problems were evident

The data tells its own story - it doesn't look good. And we know from experience that hiring managers are doing all they can to find the right talent and get them in quickly. But sometimes, internal processes and - most crucially - senior stakeholders are holding the process back. Getting their buy-in is going to be crucial if companies are to stop the talent pipeline from leaking.
