What Employees are looking for from their employer?

Long gone are the days that the employer is the only one to make a decision on who they wish to work with; as good candidates are always hard to find, the chances of them having more than one interview is quite high and the choice will be made on several points:

  1. Opportunity to develop new and existing skills
  2. Promotion prospects within the company
  3. Job security – based on your companies turnover and profit
  4. Benefits e.g. Healthcare, Holidays, Parking, Pension, Childcare Vouchers, Gym Membership etc…
  5. Friendliness of Staff & Management on arrival and duration of interview
  6. Atmosphere of the company/department
  7. Training & Education opportunities
  8. Salary, commission and rewards
  9. Do you have a professional website – Candidates and competitors will research into your company using this as their main source of information, so make sure it sends out the right message!
  10. Working hours/flexibility & conditions of work

The basic salary is not always the selling point for the Sales Person, but the OTE and having uncapped earnings as any true sales person will know, their ability to earn will provide them with a fruitful career within any chosen company.

Not all people and companies fit well together, which is where psychometric testing can help people understand who will work and react best within their work environment. For more information on psychometric testing please go to ‘Profile Analysis’ section where you can take an online test
