Recruiter's Essential Tips

Employers often tend to make counteroffer when an employee is about to leave the company. Anyway, the counteroffer is very tricky. This acts as a ‘quick fix’ but does not work for a long-term retention. Although counteroffer helps you to retain a potential employee, it may lead to other disadvantages. The major drawback is, it may demoralize other employees. They may have a thought like “So this is how I get a rise or promotion?!” . Another drawback is this may raise the ego of the person receiving the counteroffer. However, there are advantages like saving the time and money spent to hire and train a new professional. Review the performance of the employee and make the counteroffer if the person is potential enough to be retained. The counteroffer need not be monetary but even a new career path for the employee with more challenges. Analyze the reasons behind the exit of an employee and try to solve the problems. This may serve the long-term strategy to retain employees.

One common reason for candidate failure and early turnover is the candidate being misled about the job or company during the recruiting process. It's only natural to paint an overly rosy picture of the job, but the net consequence of over-glamorizing is that many new hires quickly become disillusioned, disappointed or even angry when they find out that their real job compares little to the one outlined in the interview. An effective approach for avoiding this rosy description is to give the candidate a realistic job preview. This should include both positive and negative aspects of the job. It generally includes not just the types of bad and good things that occur, but also their frequency of occurrence. For instance, we have flexible scheduling, but only 10% of the employees take advantage of it.
