What Do Job Candidates Want Most?
04 June 2020
The lowest US unemployment rate in years is playing to the hands of workers, who are finding it easier to find better-paying jobs or better employers. According to the research data from MRINetwork, 90% of recruiters say the talent market is candidate-driven.
So, this is an excellent time to look in even more depth at what attracts the best talent. Because as many cases show, cold cash alone does not determine most candidates’ choice of employers. It could be extended health benefits to family members, or longer leave times to give them more time to share with their families. This data from Glassdoor will give you a good idea of what exactly drives people when accepting a job offer.
