Hey Rob,
Amazing stat huh? Here is the source of the spend:
According to Borrell Associates, total recruitment spending is expected to increase from $58 billion in 2008 to $73 billion
in 2012. The average cost to obtain an entry-level hire ranges from $3,000 to $6,000 (source: “Making Sense of
Recruiting ROI,” Experience.com 2008).

QuietAgent surveyed F500 companies across industries to come up with the 1.5% utilization rate. Actual data from 2007!

Thanks for reading!

Hey Phil!

Question–I see that “Leading American companies are spending $58 billion a year to recruit, attracting millions of job candidates; but hiring only 1½ percent of them!”

Great stat! Where did it come from?

Thanks
