Here’s why it’s taking you so long to land that new job
==========

According to ZipRecruiter's latest Survey of New Hires, it's taking longer for workers to find new jobs and fewer new hires are offered signing bonuses. Respondents also reported being less satisfied with their job hunt experience compared to the previous quarter. Just 46% of respondents were able to find their new role within a month, down from 60% in the previous quarter. The job search experience was characterized as positive by only 58% of respondents, a 10% drop from the previous month. However, the first quarter of 2024 saw a historic high in the share of workers who received counteroffers and the share of workers who reported job openings. The recruiting landscape is shifting, with businesses increasingly seeking out specific individuals rather than posting job descriptions. AI is being used by both job seekers and recruiters, with over half of job seekers admitting to using generative AI for help on the job hunt. AI implementation in the job application stage can lead to a less draining job hunt. Despite concerns about AI's impact on livelihoods, AI has been adopted by successful job seekers and new hires for job search and daily work tasks. AI can be effective in getting people jobs, with someone getting hired on Indeed every three seconds.
