    It is well-known across the industry that offer structures become increasingly important for securing talent as we approach bonus season, especially for those resigning from a role just 2-3 months before their upcoming bonus & comp review.   In the post below, Sven Dwars (Senior Associate, Credit) shares his thoughts for hiring managers around making hires when close to bonus season, including strategies on compensating for lost bonuses, timing of hires, and navigating bonus guarantees to secure top talent.

    𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐞: 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧-𝐎𝐧 𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 & 𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐬 As bonus season approaches and candidates are due to receive bonuses in their current roles, hiring talent can become particularly challenging for hiring managers. Top talent is often hesitant to move without being compensated for potential financial losses, making it essential to carefully consider how to approach sign-on bonuses & bonus guarantees. 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝: • 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬: Candidates who are on the verge of receiving bonuses are often reluctant to forfeit them. Offering a 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧-𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐮𝐬 or 𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞 is the most effective solution to offset a loss, and can give candidates the confidence to make the transition whilst keeping negotiations smooth. • 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐬: For some firms, not offering a bonus guarantee is a strategic decision. However, this can drastically narrow the pool of candidates and exclude those unwilling to lose out on a substantial part of their compensation. • 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: Another option our clients sometimes consider is delaying making the hire until after bonus season, avoiding the need for a costly buyout altogether. Postponing hires comes with its own drawbacks, particularly if there is an urgent need to add firepower to a team. • 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥: The timing of hiring efforts can significantly impact a candidate's willingness to move. The later it gets in the bonus cycle, the harder it becomes to convince professionals to walk away from upcoming payouts. 𝐇𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐞 allows for smoother negotiations and minimizes the need for large buyouts, as candidates aren't as close to their bonus payments. • 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭? Getting a candidate to accept an offer and sign, with a view to resigning after receiving their bonus, means they are locked in - even if the hire is made a few weeks before they receive their bonus. However, if the candidate receives a promotion, bigger bonus, or salary increase in the meantime, they could be at risk of dropping out. At Laz Partners we have hundreds of data points on bonus guarantees, sign-on bonuses and deferred buyouts for the top talent we placed. If you are a 𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫 facing challenges securing top talent asking for a guarantee or buyout, feel free to send me a DM and I would be happy to share insights on how to successfully handle candidate comp negotiations (both with internal and external stakeholders).
