iHire Publishes 2024 State of Online Recruiting Report

iHire has published its 2024 State of Online Recruiting Report, offering an inside look into the hiring and job search trends shaping talent acquisition including AI adoption, talent shortages, job board usage, and more. Sharing the results of a survey of 1,637 job seekers and 586 employers across the United States and from 57 industries, the sixth annual research report is now available here: www.iHire.com/SOOR24.

Key findings and data points detailed in the iHire’s report include the following:

AI usage in recruitment has increased threefold year-over-year.

Talent shortages persist despite a more stable labor market and steady hiring needs.

Job seekers are more concerned than employers with external factors, such as the U.S. economy and election, impacting the employment landscape.

Job boards remain relevant as they evolve to meet employers’ and job seekers’ needs.

Communication between candidates and employers is broken, complicating the recruitment process.

“Finding qualified candidates has been one of employers’ chief challenges every year we’ve conducted our State of Online Recruiting Report research, regardless of the economic climate or status of the job market,” said Steve Flook, iHire’s President and CEO. “Our annual report aims to advise hiring professionals on how to best attract the right talent, whether that means testing new recruitment technologies, leveraging AI, growing their employer brand, improving the candidate experience, or all of the above.”

Research Methodology

iHire surveyed 1,637 job seekers and 586 employers from across the U.S. and from 57 industries in June 2024 via the Qualtrics XM platform. Respondents came from iHire’s job seeker and employer databases. All decimal points are rounded to the nearest tenth. For many questions, multiple answers could be selected, so percentages add up to a sum greater than 100%. In some instances, survey questions were skipped by an individual respondent.
