Recent research shows that nearly half (47%) of jobseekers would decline a job offer if hybrid or fully remote working options aren’t available.
Additionally, 61% would reject an attractive offer if they had a negative interview experience.
A good work-life balance remains the top preference, especially as financial compensation has become increasingly important due to rising living costs. Work preferences vary by age, with younger professionals prioritizing job content and older workers valuing colleague relationships over monetary factors.
Interestingly, 48% of jobseekers feel they have negotiation power in salary discussions.
These insights highlight the evolving landscape of jobseeker priorities and the need for employers to adapt to attract and retain top talent.
