An Inside Look

This audit conducted by eikko in 2023 focuses on the job seeker’s experience in 40 audited companies, from finding a job in a company to the application process and waiting for feedback.

We've assessed the candidate experience in 40 consolidated companies in Portugal, including tech startups, retail chains, and manufacturers, providing a comprehensive view across different industries and company sizes.

Its purpose is to identify areas of improvement and enhance the overall candidate experience.

Let's look at some key findings:

• 54% of companies in Portugal fail to clearly communicate job conditions

You read it right. 54%! This includes aspects like the work mode (e.g., hybrid, remote) or salary, which are essential for candidates to understand the role and its alignment with their personal and professional requirements.

• 70% of applications lacked communication regarding the status or outcome of the submission

The strategic use of automated messaging is a powerful tool that not only improves immediate candidate engagement but also contributes to a strong and enduring employer brand, which can yield substantial benefits for the organisation in the long run.

On the flip side, this is where the majority of companies excelled:

• 85% of companies prioritise mobile optimisation on their career sites

This mobile-friendly approach demonstrates both industry adaptability to evolving digital trends and a dedication to offering users the flexibility and convenience they desire in their job search efforts. This commitment can significantly impact candidate satisfaction and contribute to a positive employer brand image, setting the stage for attracting and retaining top talent in a competitive job market.
