Did you know that 85% of job vacancies are filled through networking (Forbes, 2021)? Additionally, 70% of jobs are never posted on job sites (Fisher, 2019) and according to GreatBusinessSchools (2021), traditional networking remains the most effective job search strategy, with 46% of people finding new roles this way.
Many employers prefer to hire candidates who come recommended by trusted sources, which is why networking can be such a powerful tool in the job search process.
To make your “net work”, preparation can significantly boost your chances of uncovering hidden job opportunities, that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Networking is an opportunity for separated employees to interact with others and exchange information and advice, which can ultimately lead to discovering the right role.
Topics covered in DMA Group’s outplacement and career transition programmes include practical advice on starting your network, as well as setting up and handling networking meetings.
