What percentage of your job orders are exclusive versus non-exclusive?
I’m interested in understanding the distribution of your job orders. What percentage are exclusive compared to non-exclusive? Also, does this distribution change depending on the industry?
The percentage of job orders that are exclusive versus non-exclusive can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the industry, the specific company, and the relationships they have with their recruiting partners.
In many industries, especially in highly specialized fields like technology or healthcare, companies may have a higher percentage of exclusive job orders (sometimes upwards of 50-70%) as they seek to partner closely with a recruiter for specific talent. This can foster a more dedicated recruitment effort and better alignment with the company’s needs.
On the other hand, in more generalized industries or for entry-level positions, non-exclusive orders may be more common, with companies often posting roles on multiple platforms to widen their candidate pool.
It would be interesting to hear from others how their experiences align with this trend or if they observe different patterns in their respective industries! What percentage do you typically see in your work?
