Why candidates turn down jobs




















Benefits, perks, and other add-ons can attract potential employees even when the base salary is on the lower side. Solution: Work with a compensation planning specialist to build an offer that allows you to compete without creating an unsustainable wage bill. Use benefits and perks to sway candidates considering multiple offers. Every candidate is on a unique journey towards their personal goals.

Ideally, they would like an employer who will aid that journey in the form of training, certification, experience, and promotions. Solution : Make professional development a fundamental part of your approach to human capital management. Work with existing employees to develop career plans with meaningful, actionable steps. Promote your dedication to helping your people realize their dreams. Diversity issues can be self-perpetuating. They also miss out on things that might make your company to unattractive to candidates from diverse backgrounds.

In some cases, your team might unconsciously commit microaggressions that drive applicants away. Solution : The only way to build a more diverse workforce is to include a wide range of voices in your recruitment process. Look at the people involved in decision-making, especially interviewers. Make sure that everyone is equally empowered to contribute to the hiring process. Prior to the pandemic, flexible schedules and remote working were often seen as perks.

This can be frustrating for both parties, but is definitely something that you, as a business owner, can address and avoid. The solution: At CareerPlug, we encourage transparency from the start. Candidate experience starts with an effective job posting. We suggest putting compensation and benefits into the job posting so that job seekers know before applying whether it is a match. Ultimately this will save you time and help you avoid interviewing applicants that are looking for something different from what you can offer.

The solution: Once again this solution lies within a good job posting. Take the time to think about the role and write a job posting that describes it accurately. Job seekers use the job posting a guidepost when trying to decide whether or not they want to work for your company. You can be assured that someone that makes it to the interview process is already aware and satisfied with what you have to offer and the responsibilities of the role.
