30% of candidates reject employment offers - holding out for more money!

An interesting finding from ExecuNet’s 2010 Executive Job Market Intelligence Report:

"While the large majority of recruiters refute the claim that compensation is the single biggest influence on executive career transition, 30 percent of candidates are turning down employment offers because the total pay is not high enough — even in this challenging market."

USA Staffing Services:
Probably why so many companies are turning to temps for these higher level positions as we noted in our previous blog: CFO = Temp?.

Bearing in mind these are executive level candidates, I would have to concur with the report.
