Why Webinars Alone Don’t Work (And How Rekbot Fixes That)

Recruitment has changed. But recruiter training? Still stuck in 2012.

Webinars. Zoom sessions. Guest speakers from your mate’s old agency. Everyone logs in… but no one remembers a thing a week later.

🤯 The Shocking Truth About Webinar Retention

Let’s look at the numbers:

  • Average attention span in a webinar? ~50–60 minutes. Not bad, right?
  • But here’s the kicker: within 24 hours, people forget ~70% of what they heard.
  • After 7 days? They remember just ~10%.

Even in professional development settings like medicine, post-webinar knowledge dropped from a median score of 70 to 60 in just three months. And recruitment isn’t exactly known for revisiting learning material.

📉 Why This Matters for Recruitment Teams

Hiring is faster. The pressure is higher. And recruiters need more than “one and done” training. If you’re running webinar-based L&D, here’s what’s likely happening:

  • 🔇 Learners show up but mentally check out.
  • 🧠 They retain almost nothing beyond the session.
  • 🔁 You end up repeating the same training again… and again.
