The dynamic has shifted!
No longer are recruitment agencies searching for positions to advertise - they are looking for talented people to fill the plethora of well-paid, interesting positions they have hand-picked.
It's a candidate-led market, and is forecast to be for many years to come. So what's stopping your best people from leaving? Here's a few reasons why people stay.....
- Fear of change - maybe the new job won't be as good as it seems?
- Pay and benefits - current position enables a certain standard of living.
- Culture - they enjoy working for the company and feel part of something
- Growth / progression - the company invests in them, they learn new skills or are given opportunities to progress or grow within the company.
Relying on the first 2 is really risky!! If you are an employer that is "hoping" that people won't leave because the pay is decent and you are better than the "unknown" then be prepared for disappointment! Failure invest in your key people or work on creating the necessary culture are surefire ways to lose people in this market. The worst part is they'll be like buses - the first person who leaves and succeeds removes the fear of change for others and will likely be the catalyst for many further losses.
