PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As the Great Resignation continues and increasingly more Americans are leaving their existing jobs for better options, employers are looking for the best ways to attract and identify new employees to fill their talent gaps. Now, new survey data from Yoh, a leading international talent and outsourcing company and part of Day & Zimmermann, has revealed that nearly three-quarters (67%) of job-seeking Americans (both those who are employed and not employed but looking) are using job boards to search for job opportunities, while just over half (51%) of that same group is using social media to find job opportunities. The survey was conducted online by The Harris Poll on behalf of Yoh, among 889 Americans ages 18+ who are employed full-time/part-time/self-employed and currently looking for a job or not employed but looking for work.

Key Points:

In fact, just under half (48%) of employed and not employed job seekers are using word of mouth to find job opportunities.
For those highly-sought-after employed workers looking for jobs, more than one-third (34%) are actively using recruiters to find their next job.
This indicates that currently employed Americans arent just passive job seekers browsing job boards but are actively using their relationships with talent professionals to find their next job.
Among job-seeking Americans, women are more likely than men to be using job boards to search for job opportunities (72% vs. 62%).
