The pandemic has placed serious challenges on companies hiring employees. Many jobs are open but people have been collecting governmet support and they are not looking to lose that support by returning to work. An additional concern for many regarding returning to work is related to the additional exposure to Covid they fear.
There are many, many, small businesses including 94% of 50 of our top major retailers who are having difficulty filling
employment positions. Many companies are offering employment bonuses. Glassdoor has identified companies offering up to $60,000.00 including relocation costs.
Small businesses to large businesses across the nation are offering from $500.00 to $60,000.00 sign up bonuses to encourage employess to join their team. You’ll even find restaurant chains offering sign up bonuses, increasing their wages and other creative compensation packages to entice new employees.
Typically, there were always enough people applying for jobs that bonuses weren’t needed. The pandemic has changed this. Employers and HR divisions, inclusive of those hiring for manufacturer reps, are really getting creative in these times.
Many companies turn to Manufacturer Reps for their sales team members and have been successful but in these times companies are working harder than pre-pandemic to find reps. Companies are stepping up to the new hire challenges.
