Future Talent Recruitment Insights Review - Does The Way You Look Effect Your Job Prospects?

Does the Way You Look Effect Your Job Prospects? In 2014 does your gender, race or whether or not you have a disability really affect your job prospects? Here at GradWeb we looked at a combination of our own clients - many of whom are Times Top 100 rated graduate employers - and companies not currently working with us, resulting in a report that spans over 200,000 individual graduate applications made in the 2012-13 season. This infographic is based on the second iteration of our Graduate Recruitment Insights 2014 report and looks at whether the way you look does indeed affect your chances of securing employment. |gradweb GW DELIVERING FUTURE TALENT Gender 64.07% 63.53% of applicants of applicants were female of hires of hires were male were male were female 35.45% 35.84% Banking & Financial Services Automative Engineering FMCG Oil/Gas/Energy 企 19 68% Male 68% Male 71% Male 46% Male 69% Male 32% Female 31% Female 29% Female 53% Female 30% Female Transport/Logistics/ Infrastructure Property Public Sector Retail Technology 1000 +. 70% Male 58% Male 57% Male 66% Male 69% Male 30% Female 41% Female 43% Female 34% Female 30% Female Disability 4 3.23% 2.65% 3 2.28% 2.38% 1.97% 2.04% 2 1 Job applications from disabled graduates is increasing. 2011 2012 2013 9% of Graduates are Registered as Disabled Application-Hire conversion rate of 50:1 for disabled graduates.
