Are You Providing the 5 Things That Job Candidates (and Employees) Want?

If there's anything that's become evident in the employment marketplace during the past five to 10 years, it's this:

No matter the size of the candidate pool, big or small, finding and hiring the right people is as difficult as it's ever been.

You don't want to hire just anybody. You want to hire a great candidate, the kind of person who will turn into an employee who can make an immediate impact and continue making an impact throughout their tenure with your company (which will hopefully be a long and prosperous one).

However, because of the COVID-19 pandemic and prevailing economic conditions that exist in this country, there are many people who are averse to making a change - or entering the workforce at all, for that matter. That doesn't mean they won't do these things. It just means that they're hesitant to do so.

When you get right down to it, there are certain things that job candidates want in a potential employer. And when you think about it, your current employees want these things, as well. If you don't provide these things to them, then they might think about making a change. And in terms of your best employees, that is something that you do NOT want to happen.

Remember, the best job candidates in the market are very confident in their abilities. (That's part of what makes them great in the first place.) And if you want them to come work for you and your organization, then there are five things that you must offer to them. Those things are as follows:

1. Challenging, stimulating work
2. Opportunities for growth and advancement
3. Chances to be recognized for their accomplishments
4. An outstanding leadership team with vision and direction
5. A healthy work/life balance with accompanying flexible schedule

Does your company provide these things - ALL of these things? Ultimately, you want to give great job candidates the right reasons to work for you... and your best employees the right reasons to stay with you!
