CHANGING LANES There seems to be a lot of job hopping going around. About 75% of the U.S. workforce is either

actively looking for or open to new employment.

The average employee currently stays in one

job only 3 to 5 years. The average term of a new C-suite exec is just

18 months. Frequently there’s trouble with the onboarding process and the exec never quite fits in.

It can cost up to $50K to recruit a mid to upper level manager.

It can cost as much as $500K to recruit a CEO or #2 executive for a Fortune 500 company.

Nearly ½ of surveyed

recruiters say they get access

to better candidates by

employing social recruiting.

And 1/3 of hiring managers see

more employee referrals with

social recruiting, which leads to better quality
