Where I work almost all of the 'core' staff of 25 or so have been in post for 5 years plus, in some cases 15-20 years plus, and have been offered jobs/promotions direct,, ads are only used where there's a need to bring in someone with a skill set not already available 'in house'. POs are mostly diggers-made-good, or occasionally an unsolicited CV gets someone a job. We can't be the only outfit operating like this (I know we're not). Do you have any data for how many companies you don't have data for? And what proportion of the profession this represents? Isn't your survey merely representative of employers who for whatever reason are unable to hold onto staff? :face-stir:
