Study: The length of employee tenure is decreasing
A recent employee recruiting survey by Jobvite found that 21st century workers are likely to switch jobs considerably more often than their 20th century counterparts.
Nearly one-third of the more than 800 United States-based human resources and recruitment professionals who took part in the study indicated that they expected the average new employee to stay with their company for two years or less. A further 47 percent said they expected workers to remain employed with them for between three and five years, with just 14 percent estimating that the average worker would be with them longer than half a decade.
"Now when recruiters look at someone who has stayed in a role for more than three years, the question is why?" Jobvite CEO Dan Finnigan told IT Business Edge. "There's this intuition that if … your job didn't change ... either your company's not that dynamic or you are not that dynamic."
Additionally, the survey found that nearly nine out of 10 respondents plan to use social networks in their recruitment efforts, and 55 percent will increase their social recruiting budget.
