How to clinch an employee hire

Article Abstract:

Accounting firms should consider the many factors that may influence the decision of job candidates to join the organization or seek employment elsewhere. The combination of a healthy economy and a low unemployment rate has made it harder for companies to find talented people, who are now in a position to carefully select potential employers. To attract major talents, accounting firms should look at the way they present themselves and the job opportunities they offer to the candidates. There are six variables that should be considered if candidates do not seem to be interested in finding work in the organization. They should ask if they are effectively selling the position and are being decisive enough in interviewing top candidates. They should also determine the degree of job search activity of candidates. They should also look at the compensation offer, corporate culture and reference-checking process.
