Employers Mainly Recruit Through Vacancies on Social Media. According to a survey conducted by UWV (Employee Insurance Agency) in the Netherlands, employers primarily rely on social media for recruitment, with 78% of respondents distributing vacancies through platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram. Posting job openings on their own websites (74%) and recruiting through their own staff (71%) are also common methods used by employers. LinkedIn is the preferred platform for direct candidate approaches, with 23% of employers opting for it compared to 18% for Facebook. The choice of recruitment method varies based on the required education level, with low-skilled workers often being recruited through existing staff and vacancies for highly educated individuals being shared on LinkedIn. 💡 2. Breaking Barriers: Employment Among People with Disabilities Reaches Historic Highs. The post-pandemic labor market rebound has had a significant positive impact on employment for people with disabilities in the United States. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that the number of employed individuals with disabilities reached approximately 7.6 million in June, the highest level since June 2008. The employment-to-population ratio for disabled individuals also hit a record high of 22.4%. Experts attribute these gains to a steady demand for labor, driven by workforce shortages in various sectors, as well as the decreasing stigma around remote work due to the pandemic. The remote-work boom has particularly benefited individuals with disabilities by removing barriers related to transportation and accessibility. Many disabled workers have long desired the flexibility that remote work offers. Historically, workers with disabilities have been concentrated in retail and manual labor roles. The growth of white-collar opportunities, especially during the initial hiring boom spurred by tech companies after the pandemic, has contributed to increased employment prospects for disabled individuals. -------- So, don't miss out on expert insights into the ever-evolving job market.
