In today’s competitive job market climate, a job offer is oh-so-much-more than just a competitive salary. In 2022-23, remuneration is about much more than just numbers. A savvy hiring manager should be able to balance a competitive salary with a handful of attractive non-financial benefits to win and retain high performing talent.
At Talent Right, we are committed to doing things right the first time. In order to gain top new talent, you must create competitive job offers that convince top candidates into believing that your company is the absolute best pick of the crop.
Follow our competitive job offer guidelines to avoid loosing your best candidate over a poorly delivered job offer. The last thing you want is to be left with next-best applicants, or worse, having to kickstart the entire recruitment process again.
Flexible Work Arrangements
Work flexibility is a major selling point in today’s job market. Over the past few years, flexible work arrangements – like the option to work from home part of the week or full time – has become overwhelmingly attractive to employees.
Work flexibility has proven to be a successful selling point that works particularly well for for all parties when the candidate has a history of self-motivated, goal driven, remote work experience.
Holiday Leave
Tying in with the notion of work-life balance, holiday leave is another highly attractive aspect of a competitive job offer.
Work-life balance has become a high priority for candidates, especially among the millennial generation and Gen Z, who are certain to become the largest percentage of the global workforce over the next few years.
Establishing clear terms of paid or even unpaid holiday leave is sure to be an integral part of making a competitive job offer.
Company Culture
Company culture has become one of the biggest deciding factors that keeps people invested in their job. To put it bluntly, candidates want more than just a well paying job. A healthy and positive work culture is one that that respects and values its people.
A toxic workplace culture might pay well, but if it makes an employee miserable in their day-to-day life, it’s only a matter of time before they move on. Serious workplace policies like anti-discriminatory, safety and other important value systems aren’t actually enacted or enforced to achieve best practice.
Creating and nurturing a positive company culture that has strong values (and acts on them) is invaluable for creating a competitive job offer. If you have the ability to demonstrate how your company is able to perpetuate a positive work culture to your prospective candidate through examples, you will be on the right track.
Profit Share Options
Employee profit share options are considered an added perk of a competitive job offer. Profit share options are an attractive offering where candidates may receive profit shares as part of their package, based on meeting certain performance critetia. This can offer the employee added financial value beyond their salary, whilst catalysing increased motivation to grow the company’s profitability.
Health Insurance
Considered a supplementary employee benefit, health insurance is another added extra that can sweeten the deal, if you are dealing with candidates that place value on this extra.
While Australia’s Medicare system covers a wide range of healthcare costs, it doesn’t cover dental treatments and check ups, physiotherapy, eye tests and glasses, and other basics. A health insurance scheme that offers employees these benefits may be especially attractive in a competitive job offer.
Similarly, gym memberships or other recreational membership are another bonus motivator for employees who place value on such a perk.
Career Development
The opportunity to grow and progress in a company or business is a serious attraction to many candidates. A healthy work culture should advertise if there are serious opportunities to gain further training, up-skilling and ultimately progress in your career. If this opportunity isn’t available, they may go elsewhere!
