So, how much do you like your job? According to a recent report from talent solutions and business consulting firm Robert Half, 1 in 4 of workers surveyed are currently looking for a new role, and an additional 24% plan to start searching by year-end.
The survey, which queried more than 2,500 US workers, shed some light into those most likely to make a career move, including:
- Gen Zers (74%)
- Technology professionals (64%)
- Working parents (63%)
- Employees who have been with their company for two to four years (62%)
- Contract work is a viable route for many professionals, with 4 in 10 workers being open to pursuing contract roles.
Job Search Motivators and Deal Breakers
Workers exploring other employment opportunities are motivated by:
- A higher salary (55%)
- Better benefits and perks (38%)
- Remote work options (28%)
- These rankings are unchanged from the previous survey. Compensation, benefits and remote work options are also the top elements professionals look for when evaluating job postings.
When applying for an open role, professionals said they would lose interest and withdraw from consideration due to:
- Poor communication and follow-up from the hiring manager (52%)
- Excessive—or more than three—rounds of interviews (40%)
- A lengthy hiring process (39%)
