The Recruitment Revolving Door

Discover how hiring friction is pushing candidates out of the process and what 5,600 Australian job seekers say must change.

Essential insights for recruiters and job-seekers.

The recruitment revolving door is costing organisations time, talent, and trust. Candidates are ready to work, yet hiring processes continue to reset effort at every application, forcing people to re-enter information, repeat checks, and navigate disconnected systems with little visibility of progress.


Based on a national survey of more than 5,600 Australian job seekers, this whitepaper explores how duplication, uncertainty, and fragmented compliance workflows are driving candidate drop-out and slowing hiring. It brings together the candidate voice, recruiter realities, and data-led insights to show why effort is being lost and how continuity can change outcomes.
