Hiring, Compensation and Benefits Survey 2017
, employers emphasized their
interest in candidates’ relevant working experience (87%) rather than their
qualification (52%). Among the candidates who turned down such job offers, some 83% of them
did so because they had already accepted another offer.

The
survey also suggests that more and more employers are aware of the importance
of work-life balance and are planning to offer new family-related benefits, including:

  • Family care leave (in addition to parental leave) – 10% of companies are
    offering it in 2016, while 8% are planning to introduce it in 2017.
  • Childcare centre – 0% respondents provided it in 2016, while 2% of companies
    are planning to provide this benefit in 2017.
