Are You Experiencing Job Offer Turn Downs Due to Salary?

There is a cost to each job vacancy in any business. And while there may be a short-term reprieve of that monthly salary expense, the hidden costs start chipping away at both the P&L and your current staff. I have found that in most cases where a position is going unfilled, it is due to the salary being too low. And I have seen companies make the decision to continue to try to fill the position at a below market salary rate, continuing to wait and hope for the qualified candidate who will take that salary. Finally, they hit the point of a long-standing opening and being “out of candidates.” By the way, a company that will continue to extend offers that are being repeatedly declined is doing more damage to their own recruitment efforts. People talk, especially candidates within an industry. An old saying about insanity - insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different outcome. I have some advice around salaries for both operations and sales/revenue producing positions in this Employer Edition of The Recruiter’s Review.

“Everything you do teaches people about you.” My wife coined that saying and lived by it as a career elementary school teacher. Remember that as you go through life. Interviewers, hiring managers and related, everything you do or don’t do when it comes to interviewing another person says a lot about you.

I had an interviewing situation that reminded me of the human piece to hiring. We, both recruiters and the hiring team (manager, TA and HR) sometimes forget that in the middle of this “transaction” is a real life human being. I want to relay the lessons both my hiring client and I were reminded of. Tune in to this short but eye opening and a much needed reminder to the human and emotional side of your candidates. And now, another Employer’s Edition of The Recruiters Review.

In this episode, I will be discussing the fluid nature of recruiting, and how some hiring managers and/or those in talent acquisition try to keep their recruiting process static. When a hiring manager tells me, “Send me your top two” , it is a flag to me that this manager may not be fully aware of how fluid recruiting is, nor are they aware that what they think is saving them time may actually cost them more time. Like a sports team top ranked on Friday ends up lower in the polls on Monday. More so, “candidates” are not a commodity, “stacked in a warehouse awaiting shipment to an interview." And we have all heard the saying that people change. While a person in an interview process doesn’t really “change” overnight, sometimes their situations do. When a company stops interviewing before a position is filled because they feel they have found their ideal candidate, they may be in for a big setback if something changes with their lead candidate. To adapt to the fluidity of recruiting, plan ahead for interview process surprises and stay fluid, yourself. Tune in for this next "Employers Edition" of The Recruiter’s Review.
