Figures suggest the probability of quitting is over 92% when workers have to commute for over 45 minutes. Others say that an extremely short commute leads employees to remain in their jobs 20% longer. It’s no surprise that candidates are more likely to reject a job offer if the commute is too long when they’re less likely to stay.

How can you make sure that candidates don’t reject the offer because of commuting? How can you ensure that they stay once they’re there? Let them search by commute time not miles radius. This will deliver more relevant results for them and more relevant applications for you because…

1. Time understands that candidates must use transport networks and take into account geographical obstacles like mountains and rivers.  Miles radius searching assumes they can travel as the crow flies.
2. Candidates can fit their search to the mode of transport they’ll be using and calculate the commute by train, bike, car, bus or foot.
3. It eliminates the results that are tricky to get to, but still technically ‘close’ and shows places that are speedy to get that were originally ‘far away’.
4. Job seekers that can weigh up results pages by commute times don’t have to spend time doing their own transport research.

The TravelTime platform can be plugged into any job search site to make sure that results are searched, delivered or displayed on a map using minutes rather than miles. Take a look at how it works here or sign up for a demo here.
