Exceptional Pay & Benefits
Let’s face it most people work for pay and benefits. Offering exceptional pay and benefits is typically the most successful offer a company can make to attract workers.
Do You Offer Exceptional Pay?
To offer exceptional pay and choose “Pay and Benefits” as one of your strategic recruiting offerings, you must offer pay that is above the 50th percentile mark in your location and is a livable wage. Offering pay below the 50th percentile will not only make it more challenging to recruit people from existing jobs, it will also put us at risk of losing workers on assignment to competition.
You will also need to offer (or partner with a company that offers) benefits that are more affordable, comprehensive and competitive than the average plan. As your staffing partner, Ōnin can help you do this. We offer exceptional benefits that are affordable, accessible and cover a worker’s physical, as well as mental, healthcare needs for just $17.82 a week.
