Tracking the statistics of replies to sent emails to decision-makers during job search is what we call “effective inbox management”. It is worth knowing how to correctly calculate the response rate and interview rate in order to draw conclusions about the efficiency of your job search process. The process is effective if the response rate is 30-50% and the interview rate is 5-10%, operating under the assumption that you send follow-up emails to those who haven’t responded to the first contact.

This video was recorded during one of the 16 webinars we produced last year that attracted over 1000 participants from all over the world who have spontaneously sent us feedback like this one: “Career Angels’ support and Open Webinars were a groundbreaking step in my job search process. They made me realize several important things that you need to remember when you want to be effective” – Manager

Full Week 13 Market Signals report showing winners: DACH, Germany and Losers: Iberia, Andorra

Market Signals – where do they come from?

We started by monitoring the number of LinkedIn job ads in 18 European countries in Week 13 of 2020 (mid-March) – and extended our observations to ultimately 38 countries in Europe since Week 15. This allows us to measure a KPI that gives quite a good feel of the overall trend on the global job market.

Career Angels analyze the collected figures and complement the quantitative data with detailed and personal statements & insights of CEOs, HR Directors, investors, board members, candidates and headhunters that we know personally. We observe if and what kind of trends there are to leverage them into better candidate management & more effective job search methods.

These are not usual times, so we decided to share our market signals by the end of each week. If the country / context is important, we’ll add them. Otherwise, we’ll keep it general for confidentiality.

To communicate effectively with headhunters, you need to understand how they work. They aren’t your friends, colleagues or people that want to help you. They work for their clients and are looking for the right candidates (meaning you) who will do the job. The effectiveness of this channel for the last 3 years was 13.67% which means that it remains in the fourth position among the job search channels. Depending on your seniority and the size of the market, we recommend you contact 30-50, but sometimes even more than 100 headhunters during your job search.

This video was recorded during one of the 16 webinars we produced last year that attracted over 1000 participants from all over the world who have spontaneously sent us feedback like this one: “I recommend the webinars to people who haven’t looked for a job in a very long time.” – Operations Manager
