Ever wondered why your wonderful job vacancy isn't flooded with
applications?
We often hear the reasons why a person doesn’t get the
job: wrong qualifications, not enough skills or simply doesn’t fit the existing
team. But we rarely think about reasons why someone might not even apply in the
first place, reasons why an employer may be discounted or a job which on the
surface sounds good doesn’t quite fit the bill for the applicant. In June we
received a press release* entitled: “Britain’s Green Exodus: One in five refuse
to work for a company that isn’t sustainable” and it made us wonder what our
recent graduates and new starters are looking for in job advertisements and
employers. Being well past that point in our careers we asked a few for their
thoughts. [more]
