What is the difference between $8.50 and $9.75 per hour? - Simple, $1.25 per hour, $50.00 per week or $2600.00 per year. Not so simple when hiring a new candidate. The difference is self worth, company commitment, and acceptance of the position VS a turn down.
How many times do you try to fill a position and feel by offering less money it will really save your company money? Now, please consider for a moment why the position is still open and the caliber of employee you really want.
Take a receptionist or switchboard operator who "only answers the telephone". This position is the window from which all outside business, clients, established clients, and potential customers peer through when contacting your company. A misdirected call, a short or rude voice or one who feels they are just a paid employee can be very detrimental to the potential multi- million dollar order.
The potential candidate will take "ownership" of the position and the company if properly compensated. Your small investment on the onset will pay large dividends in the long stretch.
What is the difference between $8.50 and $9.75? An EXCELLENT EMPLOYEE!!!!!
