The more candidates there are, the faster the recruitment, and the less opportunity for the candidate to negotiate his remuneration. Thus, at the end of 2018, in 4 years, the average number of applications for a managerial job offer fell from 43 to 33. This average hides significant disparities according to the profession: it is for example 23 for positions in IT, compared to 50 in communication.
Trends by business line include:
• Marketing, sales: 42 applicants on average per offer
• Technical services (purchasing, maintenance, quality, etc.): 37 applicants on average per offer
• Communication, creation: 50 applicants on average per offer
• Human resources: 45 applicants on average per job
• IT, R&D: 23 applicants on average per offer
• Health & social: 20 applicants on average per offer
More particularly in management IT, 40% of offers generate less than 10 applications. The main reasons mentioned by recruiters are a shortage of the profiles sought, the fact that many potential candidates are in position and the salary requirements that are too high.
