Let me piggyback on the previous post and boldly state this – your salespeople (and other positions) are looking at other career opportunities. From the weddle.com website:
Recently we tallied job seeker responses to this question: “How many times per month do you visit an online employment site?” The results provide some interesting insight into the best strategy for online recruitment advertising.
WEDDLE’s Findings
- Almost three-quarters of the respondents (72%) visited 2-8 sites per month;
- Just 4% visited only 1 site per month; and
- One-in-ten visited 16 or more sites per month.
82% of employees visit an online employment site more than twice per month. From our article Hiring Adjustments for Generations X and Y:
These generations are plugged-in to technology from Bluetooth to Blackberries. They have spent much of their working careers, even entire lives for some, having Internet information available to them at a moment€™s notice. This fact can work against employers in that these younger candidates are savvy about Internet job boards and have a tendency to always have an eye out for new opportunities.
Turnover will continue to plague companies that do not adjust for the younger generations. There is more to successful sales management than carrot-stick motivation and monetary rewards. We can help.
