mirror_image How accurate are your perceptions of your candidates’ and clients’ experiences?

Maybe not as accurate as you think:

  • A recently published HelpScout ebook cites a troubling statistic: 80% of companies say they deliver “superior” customer service, while just 8% of people think these same companies deliver “superior” customer service.
  • A 2014 study by CareerBuilder and Inavero found that staffing firms and clients don’t necessarily agree when it comes to customer experience. 75% of staffing firms say that they “take time to learn about their clients’ company culture,” yet only 27% of clients agree with this statement.
  • The same report shows that 78% of staffing firms claim that they “care about candidates as people,” but just 53% of candidates agree with this statement.
  • And the final nail in the coffin? Though 90% of staffing firm employees believe they’re persuasive with prospective clients or job seekers, fewer than 1 in 4 clients and job seekers say that they actually trust what their staffing firms tell them.

Perhaps the mirror these staffing firms are using could use a little Windex.
