HOT TOPIC ON THE MARKET:
The Ugly Truth About The Counter Offer:?
There is a common stereotype that as recruiters we will always recommend our candidates to not take the counter in order to benefit ourselves... THIS IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE!!!
We have seen this scenario countless times where candidates go through the process of interviews with some great opportunities offering higher salaries, better benefits and work cultures ???? ??
However, when it comes to being approached with a counteroffer from your current employer, it's easy to choose to stay within your comfort zone by sticking with the workplace you were previously ready to leave.
The statistics speak for themselves... please don't be swayed by counteroffers when it's very likely you won't be any happier in the next 6-12 months when sticking where you are as its the "EASY'' option ??
