What retail candidates really want

What retail candidates really want

As the UK jobs market continues to recover candidates have become more selective in their job search and the retail sector particularly prone to picky candidates.  Retail employers need to understand what is important to job hunters and adapt their talent attraction strategy accordingly. 

This year ResourceBank surveyed around 1,500 active retail job seekers to find out what motivates them and the results demonstrate a clear ranking of the most attractive companies to work for both on the high street and online retailers including fashion, grocery, home/DIY and department stores.  

The results have now been published and a full report is available to view and download for free.
