Landing the right contract
After two years of COVID disruptions, it’s no surprise that our respondents placed a high value on stability. When asked what type of contract they were willing to consider for their next position, a full 90% said they would prefer a permanent position. Just one in three (30%) said they would like a temporary contract, while 7% would be happy with any kind of position.
Getting the benefits you need
In today’s knowledge economy, jobseekers are focused on acquiring the skills they need to succeed. No surprise, then, that a full 61% of respondents placed training and career development among their most-wanted employment benefits. This was followed by company pension plans — a top priority for almost half (49%) of respondents. Other benefits that make a difference include company-issued devices (chosen by 39% of those surveyed), financial advantages (37%) and company car (36%).
