iLogos Research: Almost all large firms recruit online - 07/2001

New research from iLogos has found that 88 percent of the top 500 companies in Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America now recruit online.

This is up from only 29 percent in 1998. At that time, 57 percent did not recruit online, and 14 percent did not even have a website.

Growth in online recruitment last year was faster in Asia-Pacific and Europe than in North America. This is largely because 92 percent of major US corporate sites already had online recruitment last year, in comparison with 68 percent of Asia-Pacific sites, and 73 percent of European sites.

iLogos believes that almost all the top 500 global firms will recruit online by next year, and says that online headhunting and online workforce optimisation will be the next major opportunities in this sector.
