The majority of individuals actively seeking new employment opportunities are already employed.

Why are they searching for different jobs? Many of them want an upgrade.

“I’m ready and willing to change jobs if I were to find something better.”

As a hiring manager, it’s important to take an honest look at what you’re offering and how it’s better than what’s being offered by your competitors.

Who are your competitors? Pretty much everyone.

According to data recently collected by iHire, 78.3% of companies (across all industries) are actively hiring. Another 9.8% are passively hiring/pipelining candidates.

From a job perspective, it’s a buyer’s market.

There are lots of opportunities available and the recruiting prospects (buyers) can afford to be picky.

To win the attention of the most talented individuals you’ll need a compelling offer delivered in a way that captures the attention of those wanting to upgrade their careers.
