Past and Present Clients

The limited number of callbacks for resumes isn't the only reason to play the numbers game. Keep in mind that you aren't only competing with those without jobs. In fact, over half of current employees are keeping an eye out for better job opportunities, so you have them to contend with as well. 

According to a TopResume.com  survey, more than 70 percent of the employed respondents said that they were in an “open relationship” with their job; they were open to new job opportunities if they were to arise.  

While salaries and wages still rank high on the wants of all demographics, the effects of the pandemic have heightened others.  

In fact, many of these "others" that would've previously been considered as "nice to haves" by candidates, are solid requirements.

Working from home, collaborative cultures, meaningful purposes, competent and inspiring leadership are minimum requirements for many today.

With such a focus on recovering from the exodus during the Great Resignation, many employers were distracted from those loyal employees who chose to "stay".

And while new recruits arrived, often with higher salaries and promises of a bright and active future, those loyal to the firm are now asking "what about me".

The risk of losing those loyal employees, who often possess the skills and experience that are invaluable to the business can be both immeasurable, and often painful.
