Our Recruitment Partner Heleen Anderson shares advice on how to reach a positive outcome in the recruitment process with the final selected candidate – what to keep in mind when presenting the job offer, and how to handle counteroffers.

Employment and labor market are currently going through a big change. If in the end of 2019 the unemployment rate was 5,3%, then in April 2020 it was already over 7%. In the coming weeks and months, the unemployment rate will likely continue increasing and the market will undergo a shift from being saturated with the job offers to being overwhelmed by the jobseekers. This, in return, will make finding a new job position and managing the tight competition between candidates even more challenging.

Every day we receive more news about the redundancy and unfortunately the unemployment rate will be getting only higher within the coming months. Being laid off means a great loss for the employee, not only in terms of income, but often they will be also losing the work they enjoy, their dear colleagues, and daily work routine. However, the consequences of the redundancy are also tough for the employer.

The current unexpected situation in the world has provoked many changes in our plans. In the field of recruitment, there seem to be more questions than answers available. To bring some clarity into the hiring activities, we have listed some questions that our clients and candidates have asked us during past weeks. We analyzed them with our expert team and hereby share with you our responses.
