A recent
survey conducted by the Huntress Group, has found that candidates are taking
into consideration not only the reputation but also how secure the organisation
is, a lot earlier in their application process than a few years ago.
- 47% said they would always
check to see if a company is financially stable before working for them.
- 45% would be most concerned
if a company has changed its name a number of times.
- 59% would think carefully
before working for a company with an unfavourable Credit Report.
- Over half would not consider
a company with a high turnover of senior management, in particular,
directors.
Almost a
third surveyed have worked for a company that has closed down since they left,
which is reflected in the top three factors when choosing the next career move:
- Job satisfaction
- Company stability
- Proximity to home
Do you
vet an organisation before applying for a role, or going for interview? What
would be your key deciding factors?
