A research study involving 9,000 candidates in 11 counties across four continents has found that 91% of people who accept a new role will consider leaving their new job in the first month. A staggering 93% would consider leaving during their probation period.
At All Payrolls we understand the costs of recruitment. So why are employers getting it so wrong? Let’s face it, people have been recruiting people for thousands of years so why can’t we get this right?
The study found that the reasons people leave during the first month include:
- Poor Management
- Discrepancy between the job in practice and how it was advertised
- A mismatch of corporate culture
- Lack of proper on-boarding
- They received a better job offer
The research was commissioned by specialist recruiter Robert Half. Their UK Managing Director, Matt Weston said “In today’s market top candidates are receiving multiple job offers and therefore have a host of criteria beyond pure remuneration.” He continued “….Recruitment is a two-way street. It starts with providing candidates an efficient and timely recruitment experience and extends throughout the on-boarding process to ensure new hires are motivated, engaged and quickly contributing to the business.”
It would seem that a lot of the reasons people leave are down to poor processes and communication within the recruiting company. At All Payrolls we process the payroll for thousands of individuals. We have an accuracy guarantee. We can only offer this because our processes and communications internally and with our clients is second to none. Can you say that for your business? If you look dis-organised and departments are competing with each other, rather than working together, no wonder good candidates get disillusioned very quickly and move on. It is important for hiring companies to think holistically about their recruitment processes across their whole company.
