How to Improve the Quality of Job Applications You Receive

High-quality applications are essential to hiring top talent quickly. To help you understand what’s preventing better applications, Totaljobs has gathered insights from 624 recruiters and 1,009 jobseekers in the UK. Poor-quality applications are a market-wide issue, with Totaljobs’ research showing that just 30% of recruiters received high-quality applications for their most recent hire, leading to slower, more resource-intensive hiring. Furthermore, as roles remain unfilled, businesses inevitably face a loss of productivity, added strain on existing staff, and rising costs.
