Recruiters Warn of Interview Apathy as Gallup Finds Low Engagement

Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace 2024 report finds that 23% of employees worldwide are engaged in their jobs, with disengagement carrying an estimated $8.9 trillion cost.

Recruiters say a similar lack of interest is surfacing during job interviews, drawing attention to how well applicants prepare before meeting prospective employers.

LinkedIn’s Andrew McCaskill and GrowthAssistant CEO Adriane Schwager are among those emphasizing preparation, urging candidates to demonstrate that they have researched the employer.
