⚡️ 3 Quick Takeaways from the Data
1. Indeed still reigns. 62% of all hires made through Breezy in 2024 came from Indeed. That’s a whole lotta clicking.
2. ZipRecruiter = speed. Fastest time-to-hire at just 41 days. Blink and you might miss ’em.
3. Referrals are back on top. Referrals made up 12% of hires, up 3% YoY — and they cost way less than your average job board ad.
💪Hiring is harder. This data helps.
