It's Still 'Employer's Market' For Jobs

SAN JOSE, Calif. â?? It's still an employer's market,
according to a poll at HR.BLR.com, where less than 10
percent of applicants turn down their job offers.

In the poll for human resources (HR) managers that
asked what percentage of applicants decline job
offers, some 70 percent responded less than 10
percent, according to HR.BLR.com. 
...
Another 25 percent in the poll said more than 10
percent but less than 25 percent decline, 3 percent
answered between 25 percent and 50 percent, and 2
percent said their job offers are rejected by more
than 50 percent of applicants.

The follow-up poll asked, "When applicants decline job
offers from your company, what is the most common
reason?"

Seventy 70 percent said job offers were rejected
because the salary was too low or the applicant took
another job for more money. Another 9 percent said job
offers were declined because applicants used the
offers to leverage more money from their current
employers.

Of the 384 people responding to the second poll, 10
percent said the job wasn't what the applicant thought
it would be, 9 percent answered "Other," and 3 percent
said job offers were rejected because of the commute.

"These polls would seem to indicate that workers are
still hungry, but not so hungry that they'll jump at
just any job or salary," said Chris Kilbourne, HR.BLR
senior managing Web editor.
