Why do you feel that fewer and fewer people are submitting resumes to 51job?

Hello

I think the main reason why fewer and fewer people submit their resumes to 51job is the trend of the times.

As an earlier recruitment website, 51job and Zhaopin almost equally shared the recruitment market pie at the beginning. However, due to the continuous development of the Internet, the constant demand of job seekers and other factors, more and more vertical recruitment platforms have emerged, which is equivalent to the arrival of several more people to share the cake, and later platforms are more vertical in their fields. Job seekers and recruiters can get what they want faster and in less time, which is loved by the majority of users. Naturally, fewer and fewer resumes are submitted to 5155.com.

The following are examples:

If you are an elite talent who has worked for more than 3 years, you will generally choose to be directly hired by BOOS

If you have worked for 5 years Elite talents who are over 10 years old will generally choose Liepin

If you are new to society or want to find a reliable job, you will generally choose Hanban APP

If you are People in the Internet industry generally choose Lagou.com

... ...

Xiaoyi answers for you:

In fact, it is not only 51555. There are fewer and fewer resumes, and other competitive recruitment companies, such as Zhaopin.com, 58.com, Boss Direct Recruiting, and Liepin.com, have reduced the number of resumes to varying degrees.

As a HR person who has worked in HR for ten years, I would like to give the following reasons:

1. The development of the times has led to a decrease in the number of job seekers

Reflection In several aspects:

First, with the development of the times, more and more people like to start a business, like self-media, like freelancers, like to take the postgraduate entrance examination, like to take the civil service examination, and find a job in a down-to-earth manner. , has become the last and last resort choice for everyone.

Second, the innovation of the times, in the AI ????era, everyone likes to watch short videos, watch Douyin, and rarely use computer web pages. Recruitment APP optimization is average, giving people a bad experience, and they will not choose. use.

Third, there are diversified choices. There are too many competing brands. You don’t necessarily have to choose 5155. There are also Zhaopin Recruitment and so on. The diversion results in each resume being average. As a company HR, you need to control costs, and it is impossible to use all of 51job, Zhaopin Recruitment, etc.

2. Changes in people’s values ??lead to fewer resumes

First, those born in the 2000s have already gone to college, and their values ??have changed from obeying distribution to I want to achieve dreams, so they are choosing the company, not the company choosing them

Secondly, whether it is a company or an individual, more and more people prefer internal introductions and internal recommendations instead of directly submitting resumes. Go find a job

Thirdly, young people are very direct. If they don’t get enough money, they basically won’t submit their resumes.

3. The structure of society has led to fewer resumes

First, in society, on one side, retirement is delayed and it is difficult to provide for the elderly, and on the other side, it is difficult to make a profit due to high taxes. pit. Recruit people, hire talented people, and reduce the number of resumes.

Second, when looking for a job, young people basically rely on school selection fairs and job fairs, which are more practical; older people, who have average skills in mobile phone and computer operations, basically don’t know how to make a resume, and more Don't talk about delivery.

To sum up, the reduction in the number of resumes is not a matter of one platform. In the future, people’s resumes may become postcards or labels. Therefore, it is the trend to participate in job fairs as soon as possible, make more internal recommendations, and combine self-media recruitment.

There is no employment pressure for those who are worried about their future, so naturally they will not be keen on submitting resumes in the hope of being entered into the employer's talent reserve database. People with high academic qualifications and strong abilities generally become well-known in the industry through academic exchanges. If they have a better development platform, they will generally not change their minds. Even if they want to change jobs, they can be poached through the recommendation of friends in the industry. Do these people with a promising future have the potential to gain both fame and fortune? Do they still have to worry about it?

The success rate of Carefree is too low! I have been working for 10 years, changed jobs three times, and submitted my resume to both Zhilian and Wuyou. In the end, I concluded that Zhilian is the successful one. Although there are still many delivery channels like Boss, I still think Zhilian is good.

From the perspective of corporate HR, 51job is still one of the necessary recruitment channels. As for why I feel that the number of resumes on 51job is getting smaller and smaller, I can roughly divide it into the following 2 Reasons:

1. Market division through diversified channels.

There are actually many mainstream online recruitment channels in the market, such as Zhaopin, 51, Liepin, boss, Lagou, Dajie.com, etc.

Take the boss as an example. The boss typically uses chat mode to communicate, which makes people feel very convenient and efficient. Through chat, you can understand the company situation and position JD, and at the same time, you can invite interviews. You can see at a glance whether you have read or not read. , candidates can often quickly understand the company's situation and decide whether to interview. Instead of submitting your resume in the traditional sense and waiting for a call, this often causes you to worry about whether the submitted resume will never come to light. Therefore, both psychologically and efficiently, BOSS will be more suitable for the current social business format.

2. Online channels are too single.

Often industry leaders or leaders who have reached a certain level have received calls from headhunters. The headhunters will directly help us save the step of submitting resumes through 51 and directly contact the company’s HR to arrange interviews; in addition, Including many employees who have more or less work experience taken away by their leaders, online channels are no longer the only recruitment channels.

The manufacturing industry likes to fish for resumes on there. I randomly threw a resume on it without writing it all, and the manufacturing company even fished it out.

Boss is generally used by IT companies

I have looked for jobs several times in the past ten years, and the resumes I submitted on 51job received very few responses. Every time I found a job, it was not seen by HR. When I found my resume, it was a job advertisement from a WeChat industry group. Now the recruitment information of industry groups is more reliable.

I posted my resume on the above and Zhaopin 15 years ago, and was approached by several headhunters. But after the interview, I didn’t feel any better than my current employer.

Comparing the two, Zhaopin seems to be more reliable

I have found several jobs in 51job, and it is still reliable, in the machinery industry

Go to LinkedIn, and the department It is better to contact the manager directly
