When Year-End Bonuses Throw a Wrench in Recruiting |
You find the perfect candidate and make an offer. Turns out the candidate is due a year-end bonus from their current employee, but it doesn’t hit their bank account until after the first quarter. The candidate doesn’t want to give up the bonus, but they are itching to change jobs. And, what if your company doesn’t offer year-end bonuses? Some candidates are conditioned to receive something extra during the holiday season; a thank-you for all their contributions and results during the year. In order to make your job offers more enticing and onboard your candidates as quickly as possible, you need to find other ways to encourage candidates to want to work for you. Choose among these benefits and perks to include in your job offers to increase your acceptance rates. |
