Deep dives

Networking Is a Numbers Game

Networking, like online applications, has low response rates at the beginning of the process. Cold networking may yield around a 5% response rate, similar to online applications, necessitating a high volume of outreach for success. Despite the initial lack of responses, networking significantly increases job offer chances, with referrals having a 40 to 80% likelihood of leading to a hire.
