Offer Comparisons to Make Informed Hiring & Career Decisions
Amy Knoell

Taking a new job, and hiring, are both extremely complex.

Taking a new job, and hiring, are both extremely complex.
When searching for a new job, or hiring, the way that opportunities are ranked has measurable metrics that can be used to improve retention, increase career growth, and improve the hiring process. In this talk, 20 minutes will be spent on the job searching side discussing how to rank opportunities by not just their salary and benefits. The growth opportunities, culture, training budgets, and much more should be considered for longevity. Following that, 20 minutes will be spent on the hiring side - how to make sure the offers being generated are the strongest they can be, to compete in this very challenging hiring climate. Knowing how people view the career opportunities, and their futures in those roles, is a very powerful element of extending offers that are accepted and retaining people in those roles. A downloadable spreadsheet will be made available, and posted after the event and a limited number of printouts will be provided.
