86%
It is the proportion of companies who consider specialized job boards as one of the three most effective methods of recruiting staff in information and communication technologies (ICT).
According to a survey carried out by Technocompétences involving 70 recruiters in the ICT sector, the use of specialized job boards comes just behind internal reference programs (88%) and before the use of generic job boards (79%).
On the other hand the three least effective methods, still according to the same survey, are: newspapers (given as one of the three best methods by 24% of respondents), job fairs (20%) and finally government sites (13%).
An interesting advocate for internal reference programs and specialized job boards which still remain largely under-utilized considering their good results (used by barely 13% of respondents).
