Job-seekers, especially those who have been unemployed or dissatisfied with their jobs for a while, quickly become very adept at searching for job postings and finding positions that suit them. This often means that they have very strict criteria for what sort of job they want and what kind of compensation they feel that they deserve. In particular, benefits are of interest to these professionals.
However, one of the problems with this rapid approach is that it tends to overlook some diamonds in the rough. Small companies that employ mostly blue-collar workers are far less likely than large companies full of white collar workers to provide comprehensive health insurance, as well as employee benefits such as wellness, retirement, disability and vacation days.
Small, service-oriented companies know this and resign themselves to attempting only to capture the attention of casual job-seekers. However, businesses of this type should consider contracting an employee benefit consulting firm, which can provide them with professionals who have the experience and expertise to bring a benefits package to staff members with a budget that executives and managers will appreciate. Organizations can capture hard-working, talented employees for life and reap the benefits of a skilled workforce.
