Employers face recruitment hurdles

Employers in China's talent-short market are particularly vulnerable to candidates withdrawing from the recruitment process, a recent Hudson Report found.

The report shows that 19.3 percent of the interviewed employers experienced between 26 to 50 percent of candidates withdrawing their applications last year.

About one in five employers said that the candidates withdrew between submission of the application and first interview. Two thirds of employers experienced a candidate withdrawing after an offer was made.
