Meet Mitch: A Match Made on LinkedIn
Mitch, a 31-year-old Account Executive from Rotterdam, joined VONQ earlier this year. Like thousands of job seekers, he turned to LinkedIn to explore new opportunities. That’s where he discovered a job opening at VONQ that immediately caught his attention.
“The position seemed like a great fit, but I wanted to make sure the company would be the right match for me,” Mitch recalls.
What followed was a smooth and engaging hiring process. Mitch’s application led to insightful conversations with his now-colleagues and even a final interview with VONQ’s CEO, Ritu Mohanka. The process was everything it should be—efficient, transparent, and personal.
Recruitment in Today’s Market: Challenges and Opportunities
Mitch’s experience is a bright spot in a job market that often feels challenging for candidates. Research shows that 60% of job seekers abandon applications that are too lengthy or complicated, while companies that simplify their processes can see up to an 88% increase in qualified applications.
A streamlined application process is a cornerstone of a great candidate experience. Candidates expect clarity, efficiency, and speed during their job search journey. In fact, 63% of candidates are more likely to apply for a job with a quick and easy application process, and 80% say their experience during the hiring process significantly impacts their decision to accept an offer.
For employers, it’s not just about filling positions—it’s about creating a frictionless journey that respects candidates’ time and effort while showcasing the organization as a place where they can thrive.
And for employers, it’s never been more critical. With 70% of businesses globally struggling with talent shortages, offering an engaging, efficient, and positive hiring experience isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential.
LinkedIn: The Ultimate Recruitment Experience
With over 1.15 billion users worldwide, LinkedIn has become much more than a professional network. It’s the go-to platform for job seekers and recruiters alike, facilitating over 100 million job applications every month to connect people with the right opportunities in an easy and accessible way.
But finding the right talent isn’t just about being visible—it’s about being in the right place. Using appropriate media channels to reach your target audience is vital in today’s competitive landscape. Platforms like LinkedIn allow businesses to precisely target the professionals they want to attract, ensuring that job openings and company messages resonate with the right candidates.
For Mitch, LinkedIn made his career transition not only simple but also transparent. He could learn about VONQ’s values, team dynamics, and culture—all before applying.
