In the fourth quarter of 2022, ZipRecruiter surveyed 2,550 U.S. residents hired to new roles within the last six months. This is what they had to say about their job-search experience:
- More than half heard back from their current employer within three days of applying for their job, and 9 in 10 heard back within one week.
- More than 62 percent received a pay boost after switching jobs; for two-thirds of those respondents, the raise was 11 percent or more.
- Nearly one-quarter said their previous employer asked them to stay and countered their new offer. The same number received a sign-on bonus.
- Sixty-three percent of healthcare respondents stayed in the same industry when switching to a new job. Healthcare had the second-highest retention rate next to tech, about 12 percent higher than the all-industry average.
- Nearly 38 percent of recent hires said they negotiated their new offer.
- Thirty-nine percent have a hybrid work schedule, and nearly 18 percent work remotely all the time — privileges fewer enjoyed at their previous jobs.
